Aviation Central is where I share my love for travel and aviation through immersive, cinematic videos.
I love the experience of flying and the goal of Aviation Central is to share that love with the rest of the world. In 2014, I uploaded my first video of a Boeing 737 landing in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Since then, it's grown into a hub for immersive flight reviews, travel videos, and more with a following of more than 300 and over 100,000 views.

Creating my own YouTube channel taught me a lot about being creative, imaginative, and resourceful. As a one-man show, I have limited access to software and equipment with an even tighter budget. So, it's always an exciting challenging to figure out how to design a certain visual effect using the software that I have.
I created all of the visuals on the Aviation Central YouTube channel, including the boarding passes featured in videos. These boarding passes were designed and animated with Keynote.

Throughout the years building the channel, I've gotten really good at teaching myself. Whether it's through YouTube tutorials online to learn how to edit smooth transitions or animate the logos above, or reading articles on how to use the Luma Keyer in Final Cut Pro X to apply a green screen effect.
