In Week #4 of TBT for 52 Weeks I talk about "Ray Roman HP Commercial". I copied what was done in the Jay-Z HP Commercial in attempt to see if I could recreate what was done in my own way to tell my story. Would you say this is stealing or copying? Subscribe and don't forget to leave a comment!
Week by week every Thursday I will reflect on previous experiences I've had creating videos over the years. In Week #3 of TBT for 52 Weeks there's some technical difficulties, but I present to you my reviews channel where occasionally I post product review videos. I've been sick the past week or two so it was a bit difficult putting this 'TBT for 52 Weeks' video together. I'm realizing that although these videos have been fairly short, I'm finding spending more time on them than expected. Yes, they are fairly easy to put together but I'm finding myself spend more time on the videos than I wanted to. The idea for the "Throwback Thursday" videos was to reflect on previous work and experiences I've had as a filmmaker. It was supposed to be quick to talk about and edit together, but I'm a perfectionist and have been trying to write out a script or outline for each video I reflect on. Moving forward I may decide to switch up the style from a well edited video to more of a flat out video where I go on a tangent on the subject at hand. It all depends on what's going on in the week that will effect how these come out -- as you can tell from this weeks video, there's a lack of quality than what I normally hope to put out.
In Week #2 of TBT for 52 Weeks I talk about "Kitty Unboxed My B&H Package". That video was created for a video contest for B & H Photo Video to win a new camera, find out if I won or not in this episode!
Week by week every Thursday I will reflect on previous experiences I've had creating videos over the years. In Week #1 of TBT for 52 Weeks I talk about "BG's Dirty 30: Cruise to Ensenada". I created DVDs for everyone who went on the trip, and was inspired by filmmaker Gaspar Noé on the way a section of the video was edited.

To save you the trouble of reading about why these videos are apart of my Top 10 favorite videos to create this year, you can watch for yourself. However, if you're interested I recently announced that I'm starting a web series about previous videos I've created called "TBT For 52 Weeks". I'll most likely talk about a handful of the following videos shared below, enjoy!
In 2016 I will post a Throwback Thursday video every week for 52 weeks! Make sure to Subscribe by clicking the following link: http://youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=proceedapathy

Split Borders is a 360° video that was shot on the San Diego/Tijuana border. Directed by David Kano, and shot/edited by myself. We wanted to show what it was like being just a few feet away from the United Stares/Mexico border and how different the two sides are. While we were there, we were approached by a Border Patrol agent who seemed to think we were trying to set him up. It was an odd standoff situation that started our day of filming in a bizarre manner.
This is a 360° video. It may or may not work for you depending on what device you're watching it from. On your mobile device if you copy and paste the following link into the YouTube search bar you should be able to playback the video correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhUnr-uucEY
In this San Diego 360° video you can go on a virtual tour to many of San Diego's Historic Landmarks and tourist locations. Enjoy!
Checkout this 360 degree video I recorded, edited, and of course worked out in. It was tough to do all of these back to back with a 5 minute break in-between. I was gassed but in order to be able to capture all angles it had to be done. Due to the current state of technology the 360° video will only be viewable on select desktop browsers and devices.
