You can't win if you don't play.

My friends got tattoos of one another. Pretty ridiculous.



I used to babysit this girl, now I see her out at bars. Am I getting old?

All fires eventually go out.

Here is a short I made a couple years ago where I accidently got to shoot the Mizpah burning down.

I've gone off track.

For a career, I ultimately want to do something involving film. I haven't been in a studio film class in over a year now, hence me not doing much work in that department. I also used to have a decent video camera, but it broke and now I don't have access to any. Lately I have just been taking digital art, writing, and fine art classes. I really do miss it though and I can't want to be able to make short films again.

I have realized one of the things I like most about film is the editing process. When I watch movies, I tend to pay close attention to the editing techniques and the cinematography. And nothing can get to me like a well put together trailer. So I have decided that maybe that is something I would want to do? Make previews for movies? I don't really know how that works or how a individual can get such a job, but I would definitely love it.

This next video is one I made a couple years ago. The footage is from a ballet I was in titled Coppélia. It is a sentimental comic ballet with original music by Léo Delibes. I did the filming and Danielle and Christopher are the ones rehearsing. Below is a short track of music from the ballet, so you can get an idea what type of music the ballet was originally choreographed to.



I edited the footage so it would fit a Pinback song called "June."
