Introduction

I'm a senior at UT soon to graduate with a degree in RTF. Most of my classes up til this point have focused on writing and the theoretical side to film. With the ever-looming approach of May, I have attempted to use my final semester to get a grasp on the post-production side of film. Terrifying as I find this, I feel as though my fear of these post classes must be conquered in order to conquer my fear of entering the real world of film.

Last semester I took an internship that required the three interns in the program to work together on a media project for the Austin Zoo. My two peers were huge fans of editing and worked really hard to show me the ropes. By the end of the semester I certainly felt more confident in Avid, and I even got a couple introductions to After Effects.



I was introduced to this class by my roommate Jennifer. We have worked on a couple projects together, most of them involving her asking me what I think she should do, followed by me explaining things I think would work for the project, and ending with me saying, "Can you do that?" There is always a certain glow to her face when she says, "Of course." I suppose, in some way, I'd like to be able to take those ideas in my head and create them myself. And I am hoping this will help.

This is Jennifer's demo reel. I spent most of my winter vacation sitting on her bed throwing out ideas so that she could get it finished.




Other Stuff About Me

I am a huge fan of British comedy. Some of my favorite shows are Red Dwarf and the IT Crowd, but right now I am really into The Mighty Boosh.



I am getting involved with the improv community in Austin, and I am soon to start Level 4 in improv at the Hideout Theatre.




My current goal is to finish a zombie film so that I can enter it at Zombie Fest in October at the Alamo Drafthouse.
