MICHAEL CHETELAT a Creative and multitalented Graphic Designer with experience in print design, branding, photography/ videography, website creation & design, package design, social media, clothing design, embroidery & screen printing.

In 2024 I decided to expand my horizons as a designer and purchase an old camcorder from 2002. This was my “hiatus”, if you will, from my graphic design work and is how I came up with the name “Hi8US”. Hi8 is a type of tape used by camcorders so the name “hi8us” literally means “tape us” or “record us”.

My goal for this project is just that, to simply record people in different settings, but in a way that makes it feel as if the viewer was experiencing that moment right then and there rather than watching it on a screen from a couch. What better way to capture the raw intimate nature of a moment than to use the thing that most of us remember our parents recording our entire childhood on…camcorders.

Please enjoy this video that i filmed and edited during a new year’s eve party where renowned dj’s from Baltimore and surrounding areas came together to put on one of the best shows of the year!
