Site Under Construction!

Over the next week (hopefully less), I will be posting all of my previous projects to my blog and organizing them to new pages which can be found on the menu bar. Some posts will be copies of previous posts that I did for the given project, and others will be new posts explaining the projects. I hope you enjoy the new header photo!

Recultivating my online presence: Part “Next”

Hey all,

Alright. So we’re on the move. At this point I’ve decide that I will not be making any new theme changes right now, since I don’t have the time to set up a new theme. What I will be doing, however, is taking my theme as it is now and adding new pages and changing the appearance a bit. Changing the appearance will include changing the header photo (which says nothing about me right now), possibly changing the background color, and messing with some other stuff.

Currently, I’ve made a list of all my projects that I want to include. Over the next week I will be collecting all of the media, whether they be already somewhere online or putting them online as I go along, and giving them their own blog post and organizing them into a specified page.

As of right now my pages will include: blog, about, film, motion graphics, graphic design, photography, photo editing, voice acting.

Stay Awesome!

Recultivating my online presence: Part “Beginning”

Two weeks ago I blogged for my portfolio class – “How will I cultivate my online “Samson Seligson?”  In it I gave examples of what i found when I searched myself on Google. I then expressed what I felt I needed to change in order to fix the (seeming) errors that I found.

This week I sat down with my professor to figure out some real answers apart from the few that I noted in my blog post. There was one major change and one minor change that need to be made:

1) I need to change my ancient (3 or so years old) godforsaken gravatar photo, which makes me look mad. I’m not mad, I’m an exciting person to work with (I think), and I’m always looking to keep the mood light and cheery. So I’ll have to do some serious searching, or do a photo shoot.

2) My website- This website- needs to be redone. So far its just been a place that I come back to once in a while. It needs to be remodeled, because the original layout and design is just dry and old. (Kinda like a good piece of gum that has been chewed on for just too long.) So, for now I am going to change the basic appearance, but I will be looking into getting a new theme altogether. (Probably from a place like ThemeForest.)

I need to keep it up to date- it wouldn’t be very effective if I have been working on  loads of projects, but the last thing anybody sees is from a half year ago.

In short, I have begun my quest of turning over my web page from its first impression (which I created nearly 2 years ago), to a new look.

Over the next month I will be attempting to curate my library of photos, videos, graphics, and sound bites, so that someone who comes to this website is able to skim through all of my works.

I will be posting each project by itself, in chronological order of its final production date.

Stay Awesome!

Dr. Rubin’s Office

Welcome to the hectic world of Dr. Jay Rubin Periodontics and Implantology in Brooklyn, NY. We take a brief look at the office from the outside with all of the hustle and bustle of New Utrecht Avenue. We will also take a look at the office from the inside, again with all of the hustle and bustle of the doctors office. We will catch a glimpse of the doctors in action, as well as other everyday commotion that takes place in the office.

Recently I got my wisdom teeth pulled at Dr. Rubin’s office, and I felt that it would be an awesome place to document. It’s just so active and there’s so much to watch. So one monday I came in for a few hours and this is what I saw.

I begin with shots of  the loud Brooklyn, NY outside the office. Then i move into the relative “quiet” of the front desk. I conclude with a stylized montage of the hustle and bustle of the office throughout the day.

This video took one day to shoot, and approximately 5 hours total of editing.
