Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head


















A storm had rolled through the area recently and I wanted to opportunity to take some pictures. These are some raindrops I got. It was really hard to shoot these in the rain with it being pitch-black and pouring outside. Its really cool how each raindrop is unique kind of like a snowflake.

An Experimental Clip I filmed, edited and directed as my end of senior year project for my TV production class. It all started with an idea to make a skate edit focused on the simplicity of it and to focus on lighting. Also, I wanted to stray from a normal skate video and shoot it entirely in a studio. The idea then evolved into an idea to sample skate sounds and mix it into a song as the beat to have playing as the sound track. 95% of the track is skate sounds other than the piano and the higher pitch ringing just to make it alittle more interesting and pleasurable on the ears haha. Once I had a solid idea for the song and skating, I then wanted to take it a step further so I incorporated a voice over/interview aspect to it. I am really happy with the way it turned out. It is recommended you view with a pair of headphones on so you can absorb the subtle sounds of the skateboard mixed in the song. Enjoy!
