Five of us collaborated on a client video for AUSTI. Dance and Physical Theatre, a pre-professional contemporary dance company based in Coalcliff, NSW.
I undertook an individual assignment at UNSW to create a photo essay on a deeply personal subject. Using entirely my own photos, I created a video with a voiceover using Adobe Premiere Pro and Logic. I chose to narrate how a lifetime of visiting a winter resort displayed such startlingly obvious signs of climate change over more than 30 years.
This was one of my first films that ventured into such overt envronmental messaging, and it has given me further inspiration to pursue more documentary filmmaking.
Past Lives is a 2023 Korean/English film produced by A24. At UNSW, we were tasked in groups to recreate a scene shot-for-shot from a Korean film of our choice. After picking the "second goodbye" scene, we began to plan how to recreate the sets of Nora and Hae Sung's bedrooms. I was sound designer and post-production sound editor along with my DOP, and it was a treat to come out of lockdown filmmaking and work with a team again. I am so proud of the film we created.
Using the Zoom F3 recorders, we took turns seeing how they worked and recording voices at different distances. I ended up being one of the sound recordists for this week, acquainting myself with the equipment. I ended up loving the role so much I volunteered as Sound Recordist for the Remake Assignment.
