I shot and edited the video documentary entitled "The Last Generation" dealing with the culture of the gauchos of Argentina. I lived on an estancia (Spanish for farm) in Argentina for five days during the filming of the documentary. South of Here is a project by UNC and University de los Andes dealing with everyday life and the history of the Patagonia region of South America.

MNN Projects

Here are links to the main projects I have been working on at the Mother Nature Network. I have shot and edited these entirely on my own.
Three of them are on-going series, that have a short-form TV feel to them:
"Cooking with Chef A"
"In the Field with Farmer D"
"The Green Party with Danielle V"

North Carolina Democratic Primary Voting Guide


Programmer
Designer

I designed and programmed all aspects of a North Carolina Democratic Primary Voting Guide interactive for the Advanced Programming course at UNC. This interactive is programmed using loosely coupled Object Oriented ActionScript 2.0. There is also PHP and mySQL programming in this interactive, adding to interactivity. The PHP and mySQL can be seen in the "Vote" and "Discussion" sections. All of the content is dynamically loaded through XML. I received an A on the project due to the advanced programming techniques and design used throughout the project.
