    My Editing Work At TWC – NY1

    | Syndicated
    December 2, 2015
    This was an example package I edited while I interned at Time Warner Cable NY1. It was not the same as the one that NY1 originally did previously for on air. I originally worked with the ENG department. However, when I got the opportunity to get some experience with the Editing department, I quickly jumped on it but was also able to spend some time in the Editing department. Since I already had some experience with editing between classes and recording and editing videos for York College (CUNY), I was already familiar with Final Cut and Premiere Pro. So understanding the layout and workflow of Dalet was not hard. What […]

    March 29, 2015
    This video is a contrasting portrait of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic cathedral as it stands on 5th Ave. in Manhattan among high end retail stores. This was shot over several days using a DSLR and mostly handheld shots. I wanted to show St. Patrick’s at a time when it was being renovated, because it is the most historic structure on 5th Avenue and is actually a NYC landmark.

             l – r: a) The App icon b)The App Store c) iPhone Homepage   My idea for an app idea would be one concerning left over food. However most people usually just gather whatever left overs they have in their fridge just take what ever is in there and pop it into the microwave. But what if you could take those pieces from previous meals and create something entirely new. My idea to change all of this with the Left Over Renew app.   The way the app would work is that you would take the leftovers out of the fridge and lay them out them out and […]

    For this group project we had decided to do a story line that would spin-off from my previous story about Michael Boyd. My group decided that we would play of the fact that Michael was now an independent spy and could almost do any job he wanted to do. The synopsis of our story was that there was supposed to be this nuclear fusion reactor that was has been developed for the last 15 years with scientist from the United States, Russia and South Africa. South Africa was chosen as the most neutral location for development. However assembly and possible re-production was chosen to occur in China (only because every […]

    Earlier when I said that the green screen was the toughest project I did for the semester, I was mistaken. I had yet to attempt working white screen. However I must say this that this project was more fun to work on. For class we were challenged to create a PSA or Spec Commercial. I chose to do a commercial since I could be more flexible and creative. Since I had recently gotten the new iPhone and was moving from Android, I decided to have a little fun. I decided to use the fact that was cold at that time in November and incorporate how I was going to show […]

    December 7, 2014
    For the sound walk assignment, I chose to record my sound by the small bus depot by the opposite the library on Merrick Boulevard and 89th Avenue. For the soundscape I did for some sound mapping in Jamaica, Queens close here to York. To be exact I was by the bus depot on Merrick Boulevard and 89th Avenue, opposite the library. I recorded about 4 mins of audio by the Market area which leads to a mall entrance where the buses assemble. I was able to record audio of persons waiting to board the buses and also the arrival and leaving of buses. For the other audio I used a […]

    December 4, 2014
    This assignment was my first attempt at making a 2 dimensional image appear to have 3D depth to it. This picture was taken during Rally from back home in Barbados, and every rally in Barbados is epic. I took the image and created layers in Photoshop. Then I had to clone stamp the areas where I removed the cars from to make the image seem as though the cars were not there before. The I had to break down the environment into layers. With all these Photoshop layers I finally imported them all into After Effects adjusted them and added a camera to provide the the needed effects and movements. […]

    Chilling in Times Square

    November 18, 2014
    This segment was about working with green screen. I think this was the most difficult assignment so far. The removal of the green screen was not that hard it was placing the keyed out video on to the original video to get it as close as possible with color correction effects. I did the chroma key using Premiere and then I saved that video and brought it into After Effects to place the Times Square clip for the background Then the other challenge was masking myself in the video to blend in when persons were walking in the foreground in the original video. The final part of the edit was […]

    Life of the party eh. What an interesting name for a short film where the leading role is murdered in every outcome. However I think overall the class put forward a very good effort collectively to bring everything together as a first effort. I think with everyone besides the actors and even they themselves would […]

    For this project I wanted to do an animation based on the play of the word reign. Plus I also wanted to have a sand effect into a rain sequence. Below is the first part (of 4) of the tutorial that inspired me to do a similar intro. The difference with this project was that besides me adding my personalized touch, this assignment was done in class in less than 3 hours.

    October 13, 2014
    Let me first say that this was probably the toughest assignment I had in the motion graphics class and took me over the course of 3 days to complete. The task was to create a animation of a song that you liked. So we had to use audio effects, 3D layers & background effects for about 15 to 30 secs. I chose “Lost Ones” by Lauryn Hill because I consider it a classic from the 90s and I had a vision of how I wanted the clip to look. I knew going in I wanted to use 3D elements, but also words and symbols to be represent what was being […]

    A Rolling Stone

    October 5, 2014
    For this animation, the challenge here was to create an animation in about 8-10 secs using shapes, text on a path & parenting. We had to do all of this using a phrase, a saying or a poem, along with our choice of fonts, shapes and movements that would be meaningful to the project. The toughest part of this for me was finding a saying that I could bring to life and apply the shapes, text on a path and parenting altogether. After I managed to find the saying, “A Rolling Stone Gathers No Stone”, I decided I would create all the shapes in After Effects, rather than import from […]

    So I chose to review stories done by Kunal and Deji. I must say it was kind of weird realizing how close these individual stories sound. For me though I felt like they definitely could have been expanded. For Devlin written by  Kunal. it was weird reading how his family did well then suddenly they […]

    Media This is my first animation I created with After Effects. The task was to animate a logo. I decided to take apart Diary Queen's logo and put it back together in a quirky way. I took the original Diary Queen logo and broke it down into 5 parts into Photoshop and edited the red to make it legit. From there it was making to sure to save each piece as a separate layer and bring them into After Effects. Since I already had a feel of using Keyframes from using Premiere, it was really then about me experimenting to bring my vision into reality within the 10 second time […]

    This project which I’m doing is once again from the DS106 assignment bank.

Words such as “boom”, “blast”, or “thud.” So as I […]
