Seven handpicked videos by yours truly created over the last few years that best showcase the breadth of styles I've developed. Including visuals for songs by Damon Albarn, Yellow Magic Orchestra, SLINGBAUM, and more.
A project I completed by putting 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm mirrors on a mannequin and projection-mapped complex visuals I created on her.
This is a proof of concept, and I plan on creating visuals specifically to be projection-mapped on her for other projects in the works.
A "live" performance of Urban Dusk by Luke Frees. A statement on live music during the pandemic, where concerts have been replaced with live streams that lack the connection between the audience and the artist that in person concerts create.
Music by Luke Frees. Video, editing, lights, and projection mapping by Michelangelo Cozzo.

A song by Phoenix, Arizona band, DeathPop. For their shows, I was their guy for live visuals, projection mapped onto a screen behind them. I've been working with them since March 2021 and have done house and club shows at venues such as Rebel Lounge, Last Exit Live, and Valley Bar around Phoenix as their live VJ.
A song by Chicago based artist, Luke Frees. This is the lyric video I created for his song "If There Ain't A Heaven". I've been his go-to digital media guy since April 2021 when we first interacted. Since then, I've created visuals, lyric videos, single art, and canvases for his work
A fan visual I made for Janelle Monáe's lead single from her debut album, The Archandroid. Endorsed by her guitarist, Kellindo Parker
Fan visual for an album track off of The Hives' fifth studio album, Lex Hives. Visual was shared, endorsed, and loved by The Hives. Made in the style of their single art from the Lex Hives album campaign
A fan visual for the opening track on Erykah Badu's second studio album, Mama's Gun.
Lead-in video to be played at Nashville Predators hockey games. The goal of these lead-in videos is to get the audience engaged to scan the QR code and play a browser-based mobile game to win prizes based on the team or the sponsor. I created multiple videos similar to this for other hockey teams as well as for different sports such as basketball and football.

ASU Fall 2020 Capstone Project
DisposableOcean is an immersive, multimedia, art installation featuring art made entirely from recycled materials and other trash, visuals, and a voice-over with an ambient track. The project imagines an alternate reality or distant future where nature has evolved to incorporate plastics into its DNA. Its goal is to get people to understand the scale of the issue of plastic in our oceans and why the individual isn’t mainly to blame like many are led to believe.
