Salsa Orchestra Intro

The Kauai documentary is close to being finished. I guess, more accurately it should be called the documentary of the Salsa Orchestra/Brass Quintet tour in Kauai. This is just a few opening seconds. I was involved in filming this project, am responsible for the editing and distribution, and also graphics. There is a cool title sequence at the end of this one, so be patient through the beginning.

I had a near catastrophe with this video. It was edited on a 1 terabyte external hard drive, until one day I smelled something burning in the area of the hard drive. Sure enough, my hard drive seemed to be burning. To make a long story short, we thought all was lost and that I was going to have to start over. Fortunately, a very helpful fellow over at the TV studio was able to salvage the files, and I am actually now using the hard drive, now converted to an internal drive, to finish the edit.

This all after a long wait for follow up work to be done on the video, including interviews, script writing, etc. Its been a pretty long turnaround, but sometimes that happens here at the school.

Second Website Design

I had some time to work on this because the hard drive with my Kauai documentary burned...literally. Here is my second ever website draft. I like this better than the first one I did.

Web Site Design

This is my first ever attempt at designing a website (PS. CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR A BETTER LOOK). The creative team I work on was asked to come up with some prototypes for a new look and feel by creating a website, pamphlet, or something else. I chose to do a website. I was somewhat restricted in what I could do, considering the fact that it is a university site, but I was fairly pleased with the result. It took me 1 1/2 working days to complete. Its nothing groundbreaking or new, but it works for what it was designed for.

Here is the current webpage for the school.
