For the personal project, I wanted to do something that gives back to the community. I think it fits personality pretty well as I liked to help other people. So I decided to make a promotional video for our annual graphic design club field trip. And I also wanted to see where I'm at as a cinematographer since I'm thinking of going that direction after graduation.
Challenges: unfamiliar place, new tools, & time limit.
City: New York
Tools: Sony A7S
Time: 4 days & 4 nights
Although I've been to New York several times prior to the design trip, I think my perspective of the city is a forever changing process. There are so many things to see and do, New York is not just a place of business, its filled with beautiful architecture, interesting people and diverse culinary cultures. I had a blast during last year's trip, shuffling between the streets of New York and learning the various job opportunities out there. I think it will be unique to document the trip using the studio visits combine with the scenery and happenings to show what we did and the excitement behind it all.
For the camera, I decided to go with the Sony A7S, which is known for its good low light sensibility and the XAVC-S codec to allowed better datas for post-editing. The new camera allows to test where I am at as a photographer and cinematographer. Post-editing helps me see how far I’ve become after this past year in learning the programs.
Without the help of fundraising and poster sales, it wouldn’t have been possible for all of us to go out there. In doing this video, our donors will see what we did on our trip and the expectance of the trip itself. I hope the video can be use in the future to help gather fundings and interest other students in going to this trip. It was definitely an eye-opening experience for me and I believe it will benefit our student designers and our school’s presence in the design field.
