i honestly still can’t believe that i was able to get this opportunity. this was my first time ever doing concert photography and it was such an amazing experience. to have my first time doing this be for one of my favorite artists since middle school was so incredibly surreal. couldn’t be more grateful for the things i’m able to do here:) “Angel Olsen at the Regency Ballroom” @angelolsenmusic The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco, CA 10/20/23

Land’s End. I’ve finally made it home so now I actually have time to post about it. There’s a million words that I could say about this production but I’ll try to keep it short:) I didn’t anticipate being on this set at all. But yet, there I was doing hair/makeup for a good portion of the last 2 months. Everyone on this crew was so incredibly talented and passionate about their roles and it was so admirable. Through both the calm and the chaos everyone’s talent showed through and truly gave this project life. I was given such an incredible opportunity to watch this crew work, and I even learned from these talented hands. What I first thought was going to be a boring summer with nothing but academia has turned out to be my most memorable experience at Berkeley yet because of these people. I seriously cannot stress enough how happy I am to have gotten this chance and to have been able to grow closer to these people. It’s absolutely meant the world to me and I’m so excited for when this gets to premiere (then i can show you guys some of the crazier things i got to do)🫶 Special shoutout to the members of the blueberry car because you guys truly pulled through for me at every moment I needed support. I’m gonna miss worrying about our misplaced props/wardrobe every weekend and all our other shenanigans 🫶💙 Also huge thank you @natasha.hayter because you referring me is the reason I ended up with a summer like this. It’s been invaluable 🦣🫶

Bonzo’s Lil’ Big Show is now out on YouTube! link is in my bio, so pls go watch!!! Being part of art department and doing make-up and wardrobe for this film was honestly really intimidating given I have never done it before but i had such amazing partners to help me as we got our hands dirty. the results were incredible and I will never forget the audience reactions during the premiere. It was such a gratifying and incredible experience knowing people enjoyed a project i worked on and specifically the effects we spent days planning. it really solidified my love for filmmaking and just making things in general for others to enjoy. This project is one i will forever hold close to my heart; it cultivated so many friendships with some of the most talented people i’ve ever had the chance to meet. thank you to all the amazing people who put their blood, sweat, and tears into making this project possible, you were all so incredible and inspiring. i really look forward to all the amazing projects we still have in the future 🫶 and an incredible thanks to @capclubberkeley for making any of these opportunities possible :)

“Bonzo’s Lil’ Big Show!” Poster been really excited about this project and making the poster was a lot more fun than i anticipated. i love making dumb n silly movies and it’s honestly been an honor working with everyone else on this project. they are such an incredibly talented and supportive crew that set the bar high with their raw skill and professionalism and really embraced creativity at every step. but yeah, come to the CAP Club Premiere, April 30th!!!!!

CGI Animation Test 1 wanted to try making a web swinging animation as a cg test run. cgi was one of the first things i developed interest in within the filmmaking realm but i’ve never actually tried it out until now. its rough and there’s various things that need to be fixed and/or tweaked from shadow glitches, camera speed and movement, and properly rubber-banding the path speed to better depict momentum. but as a test run im decently happy with the outcome considering its my first attempt at something like this character model by Ugo Ribaut building assets by Peter France final render and composition by me
