Chester Children's Chorus:
Promotional Feature

Promotional video for the Chester Children's Chorus.  This is a distillation of work that I have done for the CCC over the course of several months.  I am responsible for all camera work (with exception of certain additional camera angles in concert footage) and editing, as well as for interviewing the children and for lighting design (where it was possible). 
You can also view this video on the CCC's Vimeo channel or on YouTube.    [added 11/16/2011]

The "Righteous Mind" Symposia

Picture
The Institute for the Liberal Arts at Swarthmore College organized a series of four symposia and one concluding lecture around the the "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion" by psychologist Jonathan Haidt. The book makes a daring argument, and it provided a broad canvas for interdisciplinary discussion.

My task, as a media editor for the Swarthmore Communications Department, was to prepare all the media recorded from this series for the web. I was not responsible for filming or audio recording of any of the events, but I edited all the media in the forms you can find on the website. The task included preparing full audio files from each event and condensed videos from the four symposia. 

The latter task--the video features--was the greater challenge, as I endeavored to present all the most crucial ideas (and Swarthmore professors are full of complex yet compact ideas!) while reducing the length of the event from 2 hours to 30 minutes. It was very rewarding to spend that time with such thought-provoking material.


"Friday Arts:  Elizabeth Osborne"

I edited this video as a web extra for the October, 2011 episode of Friday Arts. It is a meditative montage combining still images of Osborne's paintings with some of the beautiful footage produced by Michael O'Reilly for this episode.  
The description I wrote for the WHYY website:  "Philadelphia painter Elizabeth Osborne's works envelop the viewer with a warm rush of color and light.  This web extra, which weaves together pieces from her recent "Lux" and "Crevice" series as well as a few earlier works, gives you a chance to revel in Osborne's colors a little longer."

"Friday Arts: Robert D. Hicks on the Anatomy Academy"

This most recent addition is a short web extra that I edited to accompany the November episode of "Friday Arts": an extended interview with Robert Hicks, the director of the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. Hicks discusses a physician who is important to a the history of medicine and art in Philadelphia.  The convergence of those two fields was the topic of the "Anatomy Academy" exhibit at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. 

Note:  These videos, embedded from whyy.org, may not play on all mobile devices.  My apologies!  If you're looking at this on a phone right now, please come back later from a computer.
