Windows Forms GUI

Class: Programming IV for New Media
Designed a GUI in C# using forms. Allowed for user customization, which saved to a text file using StreamReader and StreamWriter. The next time the program was executed, it read each line from the text file into an array. By using a switch statement on the first index of the array, I was able to read the user customized options.

Other Work and Projects

I'm a big gamer. Being a gamer, I started making halo montages of my best footage and clips. All of these videos are recorded and edited by me! I used Sony Vegas to make most of these videos.


Halo: Reach Beta Montage

A montage from Bungie's Halo: Reach beta test, about two weeks worth of footage. I mainly tried to focus on syncing the footage with the music in this montage. The song is E for Extinction by Thousand Foot Krutch.

The Flipsyde

Most montages try to show skill and the best of the best. For this montage, I decided that I wanted to show the other side of Halo. All the funny, stupid stuff that happens and that, in the end, is really why we play. I gathered footage from all of my friends on Xbox LIVE and put together this montage.

Vestride's Halo 3 Friends Tage

Another montage in which I gathered footage from my friends online as well as my own. The first song is Falls Apart by Thousand Foot Krutch and the second is Wasting Time by Red.

Corvallis Lacrosse 2009 Montage

I put together a short montage for my old high school lacrosse team. The editing style doesn't really fit lacrosse, but that's what I'm good at :). The song is Rawkfist by Thousand Foot Krutch.

Jizz in my Pants | Halo Remix

Class: Digital Video for the WWW
This video is remix/mashup to the popular Lonely Island song Jizz in my Pants. I used Halo 3's theater mode to record with the flying camera and to control the player's head bobbing.

Vestride Halo 3 Montage 1

My first halo 3 montage! Some nice editing and gameplay. First song: Time of Dying by Three Days Grace, second song: Train by Flipsyde.

Vestride Halo 3 Beta Montage

This was one of my favorite times in gaming. Bungie's beta test for Halo 3 before it was released lasted about two weeks and was amazingly fun. The song used in this montage is No More Sorrow by Linkin Park.

Vestride's Halo 2 Montage 1

The first real montage I ever made in for halo. Looking back, the gameplay wasn't that great and neither was the editing, but it wasn't bad for a first montage!

Life's Gonna Suck

One of the first Halo videos I ever made. The song is Life's Gonna Suck by Denis Leary and the video is about everything going wrong in Halo. Enjoy!
