Media systems

Keep the work useful.

I build the recording, archive and publishing systems that keep media usable. My work connects capture and production with organized storage, access, documentation and the people who use the material.

RecordingRecording that fits the setting and the people using it.

OrganizationMedia that can be found, understood and accessed.

AccessDocumentation, publishing and reuse beyond the first project.

Official Aniwa Gathering 2020: Digital Edition video thumbnail.

I re-edited archival event footage for Aniwa and supported the digital gathering’s livestream production across two weekends on Crowdcast. The gathering connected Indigenous elders sharing teachings and ceremonies from their communities.

The project combined archival storytelling with a paywalled live program.

“From the pictures he has taken to the video edits he has made for us, Andrew's skill of storytelling shines through again and again.”

A system people can keep using.

The work can involve recording setups, archive organization, media requests, editing routines or documentation. The useful result is a clear way to make, find, publish and build on the media.
