Back at it again with this year's Jhalak lineup! As usual, dance teams from all around the nation from California to Chicago come once a year to Austin to compete! And here's this year's teams!
Jhalak 2024 Dance Competiton
Here is another year of a Jhalak hype video! I really am starting to lean in to 2D animation and creating imaginary worlds to build stories in, making sure the character design makes sense with the background elements, and so on.
Yeehaw!
Yeehaw!
TXI x PBS Austin's Space Shapers Demo
January 2022 - June 2023
This project took TWO whole years. First a User Interaction Designer then the Art Director, I got the privilege to work with UT's Texas Innovation Center, Texas Immersive Institute, and PBS Austin to conceptualize and design two interactive digital storybooks and a deck of cards with AR functionalities. The goal was to cater to young families with children that grew up during a post-COVID world. This demo is PBS Austin's first step towards educating the Austin community on media literacy and encouraging parents to take an active role in teaching their kids healthy digital practices.

Inside Broadway's Aladdin
November 2022 - February 2023
Through the Daily Texan, an Austin-based newspaper I got to work for about 2 years, I had the super cool opportunity to cover the traveling Broadway show, starring Disney's Aladdin. Talking to both the performer playing Aladdin and a stage manager, I got to peek behind the curtain of this show and how it all comes together.

UT's Swim and Dive Team take a splash
My first time trying out sports videography! It was definitely super interesting trying to navigate high-speed moving subjects and slippery pool floors.
UT's Women's Soccer
Like I said with the swim and dive team highlights, this was my first time dipping a toe into sports videography, and these players were zooming. I sat on the field for two hours with a 18-135 mm lens and tried to figure out how I could scrap together a highlight video with shaky footage and a dream, but I managed. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement but I hope you enjoy!
Emerald City Band
July - August 2021
Emerald City Band
While I was shooting an event video for a party, I had the pleasure of meeting Emerald City Band, a Dallas based live party band. Soon after, I got the opportunity to create short ad spots for their corporate and wedding event clients. I was able to learn so much from this project, the most outstanding being cutting and blending audio tracks. I really had to get creative with their show recordings to find something with enough explosive energy to emulate their brand within the seven second ad.

Redmorph
May - July 2021
Redmorph cyberprivacy
This entire animation was drawn frame by frame on an app called Procreate, which in retrospect was probably the worst application to use for this project. This essentially became a full time job for me, working from 9-5 for two weeks straight just to draw out the animation and convey the cyberprivacy company's vision.
I now use Adobe After Effects.

A Masquerade Ball
April 2021
Tanya's 40th Birthday
This was the most fun I have ever had on a project. A couple approached me to shoot a 40th birthday video and essentially told me to do whatever, only giving me the word "masquerade." I learned a lot, including being quick on my feet in an unpredictable environment and changing up the script on the fly around moving parts.

Shipra Creations
August 2020-present
Shipra Creations jewelry company
The concept for this was "For the Bold, For the Beautiful," featuring a new line of jewelry Shipra Creations was releasing. Since I had done a couple of projects in fashion and jewelry at this point, it was a little easier to imagine how the ad would look like shot by shot. Working with the models was also amazing since they could see the vision right from the start. I say this very rarely, but releasing these videos were as smooth as butter.
