The ECU Team Film Introduction on Awards Night
This was a fun collaboration with photographer William Let and video editor Totie Herman. We worked on a film introduction of the ECU Team that was presented in the big screen to to the audience on awards night. Our inspiration was the opening for the TV Series True Detective I truly enjoyed meshing together background photos that I have taken with studio shots of each member to give an essence of their personality. The project was just completed within a few hours.

ECU in CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2014
Every year, ECU: The European Independent Film Festival is invited to participate at the Cannes Film Festival. The ECU team travels to the south of France to join the festivities.
Our main theme was vintage Cannes celebrities from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I created two sets of visuals: Group 1 using photo manipulation, incorporating ECU President and team members into past photos of the festival; Group 2 would be images of past Cannes celebrities and incorporating them into promos and ads. Visuals were used for both print and web; posted on social media. Photo manipulation.
