NIKE COMMERCIAL - UNDEFEATABLE DREAMER
This commercial is to express the desire to achieve greatness. No matter how painful or tough life can be there is always a way to overcome it. My goal for this project is to show the inner personality, the determination, and the motivation in order to complete an objective or dream. The mood I want the audience to feel is inspiration and relatable. I did not want this commercial to look too cinematic but instead I wanted the footage to look more on the raw side. This portrays the real image of the actor and the real determination or hunger to win at life and expressing the actor as real as possible makes it relatable to the audience.

PLATOON TITLE SEQUENCE
This title sequence had relatively dull colors (unsaturated). I used toy army men and melted them on the soil base. The concept is death or disappearance in order to show the outcome of many wars. The army men and army vehicles will melt in order to show disappearance. I used a macro lens in order to show close ups of the melting. The main feeling I want to convey about the story is the meaning of life and the fact when war is present death is easy to come by. While the audience is watching the title sequence I want them to feel emotionally interested in the footage and a dramatic effect of disappearance.

SHAMELESS SHOW OPEN
This show open's goal is to show the unconventional side of the family. The family portrayed in Shameless are so different, so edgy, and so laid back. They don't fit in the category of the common "normal". I wanted to show the unconventional side of the family using a family album to reveal the important characters in the show. The images to show this is a child smoking, a adult in a trash bin, a teenager fighting underground, etc. Also I want to emphasize the direct family using a non-full screen to show the isolation of this exact family and how they are in their own ways.

MEMORIES POEM
Using this "view on life" poem, I created a video to show the meaning of life and how the elements that people create can change their meaning in terms of happiness. Life is about memories, and creating them.
