New York Aquarium Video Compliation

Assignment #23: Our next class session will focus on video. As we have spoken in class, there are 2 ways of how you can approach this. The first: Find a video online that you would like to use as your template. Choose a sequence or the entire video and redo it. If you feel comfortable go ahead and create the video. Or just present your idea in next class. The second possibility: Create a video or idea of a video which consists of a single 1 minute shot that you don't have to edit or change. If you feel comfortable with the technology involved, go ahead and create the video. Or just present your idea in our next class.


The New York Aquarium sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy and lost hundreds of fish, and despite immense amounts of volunteer efforts and donations, it will be long before the aquarium will be able to re-open. I made this video from a collection of clips I made during my visits to the aquarium, years before and after the storm, with inspiration from one of my favorite musical artists, Barcelona, whose beautiful music is also feature in another aquarium-related video below:

  1. I think your video outcome came out great! I think the pairing of your music with the visual imagery is really magical. I also appreciate that you created this in tribute to the devastating effects that Hurricane Sandy had on the aquarium.
