Creative Works
- View from a UA Art Student; Cinematic VR video production; October 2019; For this production, I researched procedures and developed a workflow for a specialized virtual reality video camera (Insta360ProII with Adobe Premiere Plugin). After successful pipelining, I shot 360-degree video in several art classes while they were being conducted in the School of Art, graduate students working in their studios, and several exhibition installations. I edited these videos adding transitions and appropriate effects to create an immersive experience that presented true moments of what it is actually like to be a UA art student. I created this for the Arts District Block Party and plan to exhibit this in the future for appropriate UA events.
