Portfolio
B2 - BELIEVE
My most successful video project while at my internship with B2 Outlet Stores. In one week, David Astudillo and I produced this commercial. David was responsible for handling the camera while I handled directing, acting, organizing, planning, and editing. Below are three other variations of the ad. This commercial played on channel 8, a local news station, and on Youtube where it went on to get over 181k hits.
B2 - Clothes
This ad was designed to highlight our inventory. This was shot with help from Erik Durham and Lauren Harrisstep. Animation, editing, directing, and camera work was done by me.
B2 - Tis' the Season
This video was animated by me for a Christmas sale in Adobe Premiere.
B2 - Final
This was the last video I produced for B2. Directed, organized, written and edited by me.
B2 - Guatemala
This was the first video I made for B2. I was given a folder of some footage taken on one of B2's funded mission trips and I edited it into a video to showcase the trip. This was to show how B2 was giving back to the community.
B2 - Appliances
This video was edited specifically to fit a time slot on a local news station to showcase our inventory. The logo intro was animated by me in Premiere.
Animation Test Footage
This was an animation project I did in school. The completed file was lost... but this was a test video of the work in progress. It was completely hand-drawn, frame by frame animation.
Storyboard Roughs
These were some rough layouts to another possible animation. Drawn using standard storyboard layout sheets. This was for a school project.
B2 Concept Art
These were some concept art pieces I did while working at B2. I was trying to think of some promotional material we could use to sell product to our main demographic, women.
