University of Regina Campus

I thought it was as good a time as any to have a look at the campus I left behind in Saskatchewan. I made this photo collage highlighting all the main points of the U of R in 2006 for some friends who were leaving. It has only been 2 months since I left, but it's amazing how much things have changed in such a short time. To be honest, it's great to feel like real life has begun.

Silent Shoppers

Silent Shoppers is a modern silent film that I made in 2005 that was inspired by watching shoppers scramble after Christmas. It's actually a re-edit from the original film I made in class, Yellow Tag Clearance, which was very similar but instead of being silent was more like a comic book. The original was made as part of my 3rd year core production, but this re-edit went on to win the Audience Choice award at the 2006 Medicine Hat Film Festival. All I really remember about shooting this day was that it was -30 C out so we could only work a few minutes at a time before needing to go into the mall to warm up. It was such a long day, but it remains one of the shooting highlights of my film school projects. 

Mirage Volcano Las Vegas

This footage and edit comes directly from my Vegas travelog video in 2005. There's not much to explain here really, but if you've been to Vegas you've likely witnessed the volcano erupting out front of the Mirage several times. What makes this noteworthy though is that the famous Mirage volcano is going to be getting an upgrade soon, so it won't look exactly like this anymore.
