Diocese








This was a really fun project. The assignment was to design an opening credit sequence to a fictional film. I shot all of the video, just using a regular handheld DV camera and a tripod. I was pretending to make a drama about the St. Paul diocese of the Roman Catholic church. I did not have an entire story worked out in my head, but it was clearly going to be a drama of some kind, so the credit sequence needed a healthy dose of suspense to set the tone.

The St. Paul Cathedral is one of my all-time favorite buildings, so I would argue that it is the star.
