RIP Leon | Apple Spec Ad
I was tasked to create a “spec ad” for a university project. I always shoot everything for my projects, but I was up for a challenge: try to fit into an advertisement created by a crew with a budget for one of the biggest companies in the world, Apple. I went to my basement and started setting up, only to be the man in front of the camera yet again.
Disclaimer: Some shots rightfully belong to Apple. I did this with the intent of learning and experimenting. You can find my shots below.

The timeline looks relatively simple, and it’s a simple video. The challenge was replacing the original sound because I had to start fresh due to the timing of the shots. I also had to color grade in a way for my shots to now stand out in terms of quality. Yes, there is a big difference, and I’ll always improve. I trimmed down some of Apple’s clips by a few frames to improve the flow. I’m slowly being more intentional with the cuts, and doing some modifications to the audio if needed.
Das Krankenhaus | Covid Short Film
This short film was created with the intention of developing my skills, and making good use of new gear that I purchased at the time; it wasn’t anything fancy. This project opened my eyes to issues like flickering, and took me through most of the filming process. Since this was a one-man-crew home film, I had to frame the shot, then go behind the camera. Although this project isn’t as shiny, it is one that started it all.
December 2020
As a short film, I had to incorporate many angles, which is why it looks like there are many cuts. It appears that there’s a lot going on with the audio, and yes; I had to work with dialogue, foley, and music.
