This was a simple montage of all the highlights of Anime LA that took place this year. Nothing too serious, but a lot of fun to take footage of for all the stuff that happen that weekend. Shot on location and edited in AVID.

This was my first real attempt at shooting a short documentary from beginning to end. I scheduled the shoot with the client, found a location for us to film before the gathering happening the next day, hooked up the mics, and started filming. I think the thing that was pretty easy for me is to just follow the main focus of the doc during the event the next day. Everything went pretty smoothly, and audio was great. There were in spots where the lighting was off, but that was something that I adjusted in the video as best I could since we were dealing with daylight. This was all shot on location, and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.

This was an interview I conducted at Anime Expo this past year, asking about Richard's thoughts the possibility of what the future holds for the Vtubing industry. Ironically, when we first attempted this interview, the JW Marriott staff booted us out for trying to do an interview there so we had to re-locate. But managed to do so, and ask away his thoughts. Really insightful stuff, and glad how this was put together. This was shot on location and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.

This was an interview I conducted with Kou Mariya at the time for her future concert that was going to take place in two weeks. Did a bit of research prior as I was getting ready, and it was super fun to talk about on how the concert was announced. All of which was recorded on OBS and edited in Premiere Pro.

One of the best moments I had this year was not only getting footage for the Mori Callope Concert, but also interviewing Mori herself the day after. Truly, a great moment, and was able to record it all, and edit it afterwards the whole experience. It was fun, and hope to do more in the future! This was all edited in Premiere Pro and shot on location.

This was the year I started making a different style of videos I am used to making. I volunteer and work for Vtuber News Drop to cover all the LA vtuber events that I can. This past year, I did a mix of documentary style videos, and interviews of various vtubers talents I covered both in person and online. This was the start of it of covering a small pop up event in downtown LA in Little Tokyo. All of this was edited in AVID.

One of the big videos I worked on was with Offkai Expo this year to help promote their upcoming vtuber convention. This was a back and forth method of getting immediate feedback on what needs to be added and edited in a short time span. One of the things that was also a challenge in the process was that everything was being made in real time and or waiting for assets to be made to make the video in a short amount of time. It was good experience to have and did a bit of crunching to get this video done. Ultimately, really happy how this turned out. All of this as edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.

One of the very first on site interviews I conducted at Anime LA with both talents from the Vtuber Agency V4Mirai. It was interesting how I had to set up the interview with both robots, and aiming the mics at the speakers to pick up the audio. The challenge I now realize is that when I conducted the interview, after I look at the footage, the microphone that was attached to me picked up all the moving I did with the suit on. So everytime I would move, I would hear myself rubbing up against the microphone. Luckily, I was able to use the other mics I had setup with the other camera's to compensate for that. This was all shot on location, and edited afterwards in Adobe Premiere Pro.

This was on happen stance I was at the panel in person, and was able to record a good majority of it. Some of the panels at the convention was recorded locally, but apparently there was an issue with this panel. I happen to be going to check it out and record it to use as b-roll later, but turns out I was the saving grace for this panel being recorded. This become a montage type of video of all the events that happen during this panel. This was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Nothing to really say about this video, since it was just one camera, it just needed a few adjustments. I assume the 2nd camera was not working at this time, but an easy job for me to complete with no issue at all. Edited in AVID.

This was interesting panel because it involved only two cameras, and the audience was also part of the panel interacting with the vtuber. This was a dance panel, and the only challenge was making sure the clips were aligned, and switching back and forth when needed. There was moments where I felt that lighting needed to be adjusted, but nothing too bad for what it was. This was all edited in AVID.

I had the distinct honor of editing this concert of the former talent's from Prisim Project, to come together for one last concert. Just like Aura's concert, it was the same challenges I went through, but in a much longer video lengthier and format. Not much to really say about this panel, but it was fun to edit! Edited in AVID.

This was another challenge I took in to edit in AVID, and one of the things I picked up on, was able to transition a fade effect during some parts of the concert. Much of the slow parts I was able to overlay both videos of the audience and the singer over each other, to show the light sticks as Aura sang in her concert. But when it came to more upbeat songs, it was more of a cut away then a slow fade. Was able to figure it out, and it came out pretty well. This was all edited in AVID.

Just like previous years, I was given the opportunity yet again to work with Offkai Expo in editing their panels and events of the convention. This time, I edited these videos in AVID so I can learn how to use the program better and a better understanding of AVID for my test this year. Much of the challenges were figuring out how I was able to do it in Adobe Premiere Pro and achieving the same effect in AVID. Safe to say, these panels were a perfect choice in practicing my skills so far for Offkai Expo. The only really big challenge in making this video is trying to switch from both camera's as best I could since both cameras were used very often to switch viewpoints.

In the course of year, I worked with Hidden Variable Studios on creating short form videos for their social medias, but specifically the Tik Tok platform. Many of these videos are a combination of motion graphics, editing, and constant feedback from the team on what is needed. In my one year of being employed by HVS, I helped raise the subscriber count from 300,000 to 500,00. All of these videos were made in After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.

This was my first highlight reel I edited for Idol Corp, and needless to say it was a learning experience. It was adjusting and time management when it came to working on a video to get done in two weeks, and learning the work process of working at Idol Corp. Needless to say, it all worked out in the end, and added certain ideas to this video that would fit the talent's character, and content. This was all edited in Adobe Premiere Pro

This was another video I have done with Idol Corp, and it was a short I edited for one of the talents, Conni Confetti. This was cut out from the video I have edited for her prior, when it came to her highlight stream video I worked on. Much of the difficulty in this short is just matching the timing, and what I can add to make it stand out and hit all of the right funny moments. I am still big proponent when it comes to using motion graphics in my videos, and I am still learning how to implement them more and more with each video with Idol Corp. All of this was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro

This was my 2nd video I worked for Idol Corp, and it was a motion graphic music video for the talent Riro Ron for Idol Corp. It was one of the first videos I picked up to work on within the group, and this was very challenging but learned a lot. Talked to other editors to help me along, and learning the different type of motions that I could use for making this type of video for Idol Corp. All of this was edited in After Effects.

This was a video I submitted to Idol Corp to join the company as a shorts editor, and after sending this to the CEO of the company, I was then hired to work with Idol Corp to work on more future content. This was a big get for me, and now working for a Vtuber Agency is such a huge achievement in my short span of being in the Vtuber sphere. The challenges on this short was just simply making sure every part of this video was entertaining for the viewer including motion graphics, and timing of each scene of the explanation. Its the 1st of many, and happy to be on board!

Last year, I took it upon myself to cover the event by myself and providing all the video coverage for the conventions youtube channel as well as footage to use for social media. All of this was recorded on site, and edited afterwards in Adobe Premier Pro. I would like to thank the Offkai staff for accepting me to work with them, and look forward to make more content for Offkai.

I was privilege yet again to work with Offkai Expo and Vshojo to edit the Projeckt Melody after dark panel. Learning from the Ironmouse panel, I found ways to make Melody, the audience, and the host of the panel look their best for this event. Clever camera angle edits, and audio balancing really helped me in this panel thanks again to having to work on a similar panel for Ironmouse. This was all edited in Adobe Premier Pro.

I have never thought in my wildest dreams in my short time in the Vtuber space, that I got to edit a video for Vshojo's Ironmouse. This was a fun edit to do, and not only did I edit this for Offkai, I was there in the crowd for the event! Loved every minute of Ironmouse's event at Offkai, and this was the cherry on top for all the work I did for this panel. I worked with both Offkai and Vshojo to make sure the video was up to par for Vshojo's standards, and it came out great in the end. This was all edited in Adobe Premier Pro.

I have edited all of the videos to date for Offkai Expo, and still doing so at this time. One of the videos that went live today and it was the Bao panel. Another panel I had the pleasure of editing for Offkai Expo and was given an opportunity to edit for another great Vtuber. This was edited in Adobe Premier Pro.

I volunteered with Offkai Expo as their videographer, and helped in the post production side. I edited and shot all of the panels at Offkai Expo in the panel rooms, but was given the opportunity to work on the main stage panels. Including at this time Nijisanji. I am very thankful for the opportunity to work with Offkai and having the chance to edit a video for Nijisanji was such a joy to work on. This was edited in Premier Pro.

Working with the Cosplay Wrestling Federation group, Fanimania 6 was the most complex, and ambitious show I have shot and edited in post. I worked with several other people at this show, to take different camera shots that included 5 different camera's shooting at the same time. This show was shot on location in San Jose for the anime convention, Fanime. I edited all of the audio, and video in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro. 

This video was made on a volunteer basis, and figured I try a different format then I am usually used to in my work. I had fun making it, and it was much more long form type of video that was interesting incorporating images, and video clips to what was being said in the video by the narrator. This was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

This was a volunteer work I did with Acts of Compassion Inc. This was an event to give a xmas to those less unfortunate. This video was much about showcasing the event, and the fun the kids were having. I shot on location, and edited the video in post in Premier Pro.

This was a video project I helped create for 3 months, at the Sacramento Veteran Affairs. I shot most of the footage in the video, as well as edited it in Premiere Pro. I had helped from my mentor, Kingston, in developing the video. He helped with the video editing process, script, and voice over dialogue for the video. Currently this video is the 2nd highest watched video on the VA youtube channel

This internship was a partnership with We Care Services, a Non-Profit in the east bay. We Care Services was looking for a videographer/photographer for the summer to showcase the agency. We Care Services is a child day care, that helps supports the development of young children. I was with We Care Services for the entire summer of 2014, and put together this short commercial about the agency. Everything in this video was created in After Effects, and music was used by the anime, Toradora.
