Decided to put a bit of explanation for why I included each piece:)

11/11 - Thanks hitRECord: Not only is this the RECord I'm most proud of, I feel that it really sums this place up very, very well and also sums up my greatfulness in general for life and love and friends.

... and a(nother) new life: I couldn't not include this. It's my favorite project I've ever worked on and the one I'm most proud of:)

City Movement: This is the first thing I ever filmed and edited. And I'm really proud of the way it turned out. I also included it because it sums up the civic pride I feel living in Chicago.

Some rhythm tap (w/ washing machine sound): I love tap dancing. It's an integral part of who I am. Plus, I really like this piece because it plays with rhythms and I'm really into that in a nerdy way. My favorite type of tap to do is the kind of tap that isn't like a big choreographed number, but just another form of percussion.

Journey of the Anglerpod: I'm quite proud of this piece, and I feel like it shows my general perspective on life. I'm a big believer that you should never give up no matter how bad things get, and that through the love of friends and community, anyone can have a happy ending.

Faux Fall Formal in 30 Seconds or Less: This was an amazing time. Just amazing.

Voyeuristic Owls with Voices: I just had so much fun doing this one. I don't generally make "funny" RECords, so I wanted to include this one. I love making things "talk"

Nebulullaby - Earth edit V2: This was a tougher editing piece for me to do because of all the quick cuts in the end. But I'm really proud of the way it turned out.

hitRECorders at the Alice Statue in Central Park: What an amazing moment of one of the best weekends of my life.

Sunset after the Storm: Seriously one of the most beautiful things I ever saw. Aesthetically it's cool, but I just love what it symbolizes - that from the roughest of storms can come the greatest of beauty. I also like the way it visually captures the dichotomy of good/evil.

Good Night, Big City song: I really like this song I did. I would LOVE if people added instruments to it.

Phil Phillips - CinePHile: I just had a lot of fun with this and I really like the way it turned out.

Fake History: The Spork: I just had a ton of fun with this piece.

a new hevn video story-board: I'm proud of this because it was my first feature, but I also am happy that I was able to contribute to this amazing project even though I can't draw/paint/photoshop. One of the many reasons I love hitRECord.. everyone's talents are useful

SxSW Checks Go Out Into the World: I'm really proud of how this turned out... I worked hard on it and it came out just the way I wanted.

Summer Journey - Summer in the City #2 Vid: SITC was by far one of the coolest experiences of my life. The show itself was awesome, of course, but also the journey I took to get there literally and metaphorically.

Owl & Octoped in the Oatmeal - I love anything that presents me with a challenge and takes me out of my comfort zone. This did that. And I LOVE how it was REmixed.

Tap for "You Do Your Thing " Yeah, I know I just said I don't like choreographed numbers as much as just raw rhythms. And I don't. But I loved doing this. I even got to get into costume:)

Portrayal of Chapter "The Journal Entries" from Psych Ward Rockstar by gweninterrupted: This was the first acting I had done in a long time. I really want to re-do it, cuz I know it could use some improvement, but I'm also quite proud of the way it worked out.

Wishing on Tiny Stories: Love the way this was created with all of us. Just a fun memory of Skype chat:)

Blot Romance - I honestly just whipped this out in about 5 minutes but sometimes those raw, unedited short little things are what works best:)

Got a Minute to Vote?!: Again, I'm very proud of the way this one turned out. It was one of those times when what was in my head came out almost exactly.

... and it was all a dream: I really enjoyed doing this one and am very proud of the way it turned out... with the longer, fluid edits while the dream is "good" and the quick, starling edits when it becomes a nightmare.

Dreams of Wonderland/Dreamy Alice V 2: I made this the night before I went to Summer in the City 2 because I couldn't sleep:) I really like the way it turned out.

Tiny Book of Tiny Stories Arrives: Excitement Ensues: This RECord more than any probably showcases my general personality and excitement for life.
