Float.NYC

In 2019, my daily commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan took on a new dimension when I started riding a Onewheel electric board as my primary mode of transportation. As I explored the city on this futuristic ride, I saw an opportunity to document the experience in a way that captured both the motion and the energy of New York’s streets. Merging my background in design with my interest in photography, I began experimenting with 360-degree action cameras, using a telescoping rig to achieve unique third-person perspectives while in motion. The raw footage was unlike anything I had captured before, fluid, immersive, and full of possibility. To turn these rides into compelling visual narratives, I taught myself an entirely new post-production workflow, using Final Cut Pro for video editing and Apple Motion to control virtual camera movements. By reframing and stabilizing 360-degree footage, I was able to create rectilinear action videos that felt cinematic while maintaining the visceral immediacy of the ride.
