In 2016, Destructoid writer Zack Furniss reached out to me to help shoot a video game themed, parody fitness video. Intended to be a series, the premise was to follow Zack as he explores video game inspired workouts as he tries to achieve his fitness goals. Each episode would feature a different video game and its related workouts. The game featured in this pilot episode is the Nintendo classic, Castlevania.

As a two person crew, we worked together on conceptualizing the different workouts and writing/sequencing scenes on a roughly sketched storyboard. I directed and filmed on a Canon Eos 5 with an attached Rode Mic, improvising additional footage using the environment and props on location. I also designed and animated the +1 Str Fitness intro card.
