Restoration: Parables of the Pandemic

I oversaw the entire process for this project. The client approached me with an idea, including the idea of the kintsugi pots. They also provided most of the clients I interviewed. I outlined the scope of work, refined the idea and the stories, and guided the narrative on this project. I filmed in a studio setting, did the graphic design for the project, and then all the editing, color grading, audio mixing, and final delivery. In addition, I cleared rights for footage of another event we integrated into some of these videos (Makoto Fujimura, If you’re familiar with his work).

Please note, there are 6 Parables of the Pandemic videos. Others are linked here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Filming Live Events

We have an ongoing relationship with Trinity North Park in San Diego. Typically, we edit iPhone footage for them. However, for this project, we filmed a small group doing a worship service in the middle of the pandemic.

We filmed the worship service, and did all the editing to deliver the final product. This included color grading, audio mixing, integration of external assets, etc.

I’m particularly proud of the audio recording of the musician, and what we accomplished with 1 tech person on site.

Editing iPhone Footage

Some of our clients need us to help them make the most out of limited assets. We provide quick tips & consulting to help them improve, particularly for clients with whom we have an ongoing relationship.

This particular video used cell phone footage for the musician as well as the speaker. Both used the cell phone’s built-in microphone. External clips & stock footage were also integrated.

We simply edited this, including color grading, audio mixing, and final delivery.
