Memes
A Collection of dumb things I've made that don't deserve their own posts.
The Mysterious Pain
I made this video Summer 2016. This was before short-form video had really proliferated across social media. I was shooting for the 11 second time limit imposed by Vine, but couldn't quite pare it down short enough.
Black Bolt
I made this video when memes involving the riff from Coolio's 1995 classic, Gangsta's Paradise were very popular. The video is footage from the '90s Fantastic Four TV series. Black Bolt, the Marvel hero has a voice so powerful that he must remain silent, risking great destruction if he ever speaks. I was particularly proud of how I made the volume drastically increase when the bubble bursts at the 13 second mark.
Namaan
This was taken from an early 2000s Bible video I remember seeing for the first time as a teenager in seminary. The bible story tells of Naaman, a military commander who was healed of leprosy by bathing seven times in the Jordan river. When I rewatched the video as an adult, I was struck by how sensual the video seemed, so I cut it up and changed the soundtrack.
Come Get Her
Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to be able to write music for a whole orchestra and hear it performed (I was a nerdy little boy). When MuseScore 4 came out and I saw how good it is at synthesizing instruments, I decided to arrange the hook Rae Sremmurd's 2015 hit Come Get Her for string quartet.
