UW Bothell hired me to produce a short film at their commencement ceremonies again this year. For you techie types out there, I used a Canon 5D mark II on a monopod to shoot most of the footage, and my lens throughout the day was generally a Canon 24-70 f/2.8. I cut the project on Final Cut Pro 7, probably my last project on their version 7 before I switch over to using strictly Final Cut Pro X … but we’ll see.

It was a long day of filming, during which I also broadcasted the ceremony live online with the assistance of Seattle photographer Karlie Roland. I was exhausted after the long day but very happy with the results. A funny side note: I too was graduating this year with a Master of Arts in Cultural Studies, so I got to film my own ceremony. Keep an eye out for the folks who are in my graduating cohort (bonus points if you can spot them. I managed to avoid being in the film myself!).

Well, have a look at the project below!
