I've always had a supreme fascination with 3D printing, but I never got to sit down and learn it. As students at Syracuse University, we have access to a plethora of 3D printers through the SU Makerspace located in the Kimmel Computer Cluster. If you plug in 311 Waverly Avenue, just look or this sign! There are ten different brands of 3D printers in the Makerspace: MakerBot2 3D Printer MakerBot2x 3D Printer MakerBot 5th Generation The Gigabot (with 30x the printing volume) Stratasys Mojo 3D Printer Maker Gear M Series Printrbot...
There's no better way to share a day than with 360 video. Especially if that day is EarthFest. Every year, the Students of Sustainability, NYPIRG, and SU Sustainability Division throw a festival in Thornden Park to bring awareness to sustainable and Earth-friendly organizations, movements, and initiatives happening in the city of Syracuse. It's a very family and pet friendly event and I chose to capture the fun things that were going on during the day including slack-lining, painting, dancing, and hanging out with floppy dogs. Check out my video on...

Wow! What an amazing experience. The original idea was to get a perspective piece from the band conductor's point of view. At first, I was thinking we could go record the concert band in Crouse Auditorium (which is also very visually attractive). However, we chose to go hard or go home. So after multiple e-mail exchanges to get into the high-security Carrier Dome, I brought the rig to the Syracuse vs. Pitt basketball game on February 20th. We captured the band as they played the hype song while the Cuse...

Woo! That was an intense project. When I was applying to college, I almost went to an animation school to pursue my dream in making computer art. But who knew I could do that at Syracuse University as an advertising major? I first encountered the wonders with Unity two years ago when Professor Pacheco showcased the Oculus Rift at a technology conference in Syracuse. I was instantly intrigued by the high quality alternate worlds. And the sky whale made me even more excited. This world is a slightly mountainous, slightly...
On the Podium

In an orchestra setting, the podium is reserved for the conductor. Now with 360-degree cameras, anyone can be the baton-brandishing boss. THE SCENE: This would take place in the Crouse Castle performance hall. Right now, the concert band is practicing "Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre. I envision our rig to capture a practice or a performance of this piece from the perspective of the conductor, who can see each musician up close. LIGHTING This scene will contain indoor lighting. AUDIO This scene requires an external Tascam to record audio....
