This visual magazine is intended to be a showcase and retrospective of my entire media career up until this point throughout my college career. It combines the sports journalism work I’ve done; the music and audio work I’ve done in radio; the media aesthetics work I’ve done in video; some of the extended realities work I’ve done; and the performative media work I’ve done with softwares like Isadora. The video starts out like a piece of journalism reporting on an up-and-coming band out of New York before morphing into a music video. As the video progresses it becomes more erratic before losing form all together. The different technologies used include a video camera, 360 camera, audio recording .mp3 file and .wav files, hand-drawn animation on a Wacom Tablet, Adobe Suite, old celluloid, and archival footage. The video was achieved by mixing multiple video channels in Isadora and then doing additional editing and remixing in Adobe Premiere.
