“Train of Thought” is a collaboration between Brandon J. Abbott and Christine D’Epiro Abbott. Exhibited in 2022 as part of Reverie: Elham Bayati and Christine D'Epiro Abbott at Blockfort Gallery.

This piece was created by filming a variety of wooden train track configurations against a green screen background. Once the background was removed, the remaining video segments were layered on top of each other to create the composition. The movement of the trains is akin to the flurry of energy often present in creative thought; at the same time feeling both choreographed and spontaneous.

Early Music Columbus produced this feature length production as part of their virtual performance series during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shot over the summer of 2018, the goal of the 2019 West Ohio Camps promo was to show the ethos of the three camp grounds run by the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church. The video combines studio footage of kids writing letters home from camp mixed with action shots from each camp ground. For this project, I shot the footage, recorded audio, did the motion graphics, and edited the project. I paddle-boarded into the middle of a lake, taped a camera to an arrow and shot it at a target and hiked around in the early morning for sunrise time-lapses. You can’t beat that.

Sent out as a Christmas reflection from the West Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church, the idea was simple, have a worship minister sing “O’ Come, O’ Come Emmanuel” in a church building undergoing major renovation. So, I suggested we record a live performance of the song, mix the live recording, capture it on three cameras set up throughout the room, then film some b-roll of the renovation in progress to fill in the gaps. The result was this piece. A moving reflection and prayer for viewers to engage with during the holiday season.
