PUSHING MY OWN CREATIVE BOUNDARIES

PERSONAL PROJECT

AUDIO PRODUCTION

Fueled by the belief that creativity knows no bounds, I embarked on a journey to test the limits of my own potential. Every aspect you see and hear in the project below has been born from this pursuit. From the adrenaline-fueled moments of surfing captured on film to the meticulous work of editing, color grading, and the intricate layers of audio production, I've been intimately involved in crafting each and every detail. It's worth noting that I didn't film the shots featuring myself.

A passion project in every way, I was able to combine my love for water sports, music, 3D modeling, animation, and sound design all in one 30 second mock advertisement. Winging brings a thrill to us almost unmatched by many other sports and it can be quite difficult to explain to those who do not know the feeling. So why tell when we can show?

This personal project was such a pleasure to work on and working with friends only made it more memorable. It's always amazing to try and mix all my passions, so this project was a real treat to piece together. RIP to the Sky Surf we used and abused on the journey to create this project.
