Short Film: “Lost and Found” Edited in Premiere Pro

Posted on by

This is a cute little short film I made with Wyatt Mitchell and Kathryn (Katie) Adelsen called “Lost and Found”.

No VFX were allowed to be used in the film. It was an exercise in making a film for VFX people who may not be familiar with telling a visual story.

This was shot on Canon 5D and we all took turns shooting it.

The day of the shoot was the hottest summer day in 2011 in Chicago. We had 2 hours to get it shot – we worked between classes.

I edited it in Premiere Pro with the group around me, so we could make decisions about the cuts as a group.

Katie plays the woman that drops the wallet, Wyatt plays the guy on the bench, and I play the woman that finds the wallet.

Enjoy!

Woman’s Best Friend: End Credits

Posted on by

These are the end credits to “Woman’s Best Friend” the short animated film (approximately 15 minutes) I completed this year.

“Woman’s Best Friend” was originally written as a live-action movie and a love story, but things changed at the last minute and I cut the script down from 24 pages to 15 pages.

I am especially proud of this project because I only had a month to learn the program Anime Studio Pro and complete the project, including post-production.

I was taking an After Effects class at the time and the dude teaching the class was like, “No way you’re gonna get that done. Aim for less than 5 minutes, kid. You’ll have a better chance…”

“Thanks for the support, Teach!”

I got it done, and it may not be Pixar, but I think it’s good and I’m very proud of it (and I’m more into South Park than Pixar anyway.)
