This is an immersive walk through the building where Boston University trains its artists — the movement studios, the Booth Theatre, the painting facilities, and the spaces in between. It's a comprehensive visual tour of the rooms where artists are made, built to feel like you're moving through the building yourself and discovering each space the way a student would.
The whole piece had to feel like one continuous walk, so we ran the Canon C300 Mark III on a DJI Ronin RS2 and planned every cut and transition in advance — shooting so the footage could stack together into near‑seamless moves in post. The hardest part was coordinating production days room by room, because every space had to feel authentically in use: the movement studio actually doing movement‑studio things when we filmed there.
A few shots took some building. We dropped an Insta360 down the central stairwell on a custom‑built drop rig, then stabilized and spun it in post, and a DJI Mavic 3 let us leap building to building across campus. Depending on the space we shot on the C300 or a Panasonic EVA1, with a dedicated focus puller monitoring throughout the shoot.
I was the director of photography, editor, and graphic designer on the piece — owning the look from room to room, cutting it together, and building the on‑screen graphics. Shooting and editing both ends meant every setup got captured with the final cut already in mind. As Media Production Manager at BU's College of Fine Arts, this one was close to home: the building I work in, shown the way it actually feels to move through it.
From university tours to facility and brand films across Greater Boston and New England, I bring the camera, the movement, and a plan for how it all cuts together.
