Originally, I was brought on to executive produce three national spots for RedPocket Mobile, but I eventually inherited the offline edit and some of the GFX work in order to hit our :30 and :15 targets. This was my favorite from the campaign.

Speak Sis was fairly straightforward multi-camera studio show that found a way to create unique challenges. The entire post process was done remotely through a virtual desktop. The pilot turn around time was 3 days from first cut to air.  Most tricky: the set included a central monitor displaying remote guests and the series logo.  Due to audio sync issues and a series title change, I had the unenviable task of manually masking out the video screen and tracking in the new video overlay.  Cameras were a little loose on their sticks and, in this act, one of the speakers continually moves in front of the monitor, necessitating some clever compositing and some digitally-created limbs.

In editing the Brand Titans USP Master Video Sessions, not only did I become a better brander, but I got to freely invent visuals to cover the talking points. A few of my favorites in this series are seen here, including the collection of fake commercials I built from some simple graphic design and basic stock footage. Also, let me know if you need a fake name for your fake product.

I’m no stranger to ad sales and product integration.  Since 2012, I’ve produced, directed, and/or edited roughly 480,564* seconds of branded content.



*Based on a number I made up by hitting the numeric pad with multiple knuckles.

Everyone is switching to RedPocket!  And I know this because I said so in this spot.

Selling LA was produced to look like a multi-camera docu-series, even though it was mostly filmed with a single camera.  Scenes were constructed more like scripted TV, utilizing lines and angles from multiple conversations in situ. 

One of many character profiles produced for Great American Media.

Hallmark Channel’s Holiday Home Decoration Sweepstakes was in its second year, and the big reveal aired in primetime amongst their classic holiday movies. That’s TV’s Ken Wingard leading the way.

A sample of one of the many series I produced for Great American Pure Flix’s premium tier.

Do you know how many home makeover’s I’ve edited?  Me either.  I’m Gen X, and Sesame Street didn’t teach counting that high.

From a time before Disney owned every IP in the history of imagination; Today, based on the budgets presented, the show would end after each family was handed a sandwich and told they were now out of money.

A conversation about how there WAS NO MURDER it was JUST ACTING.

In the early to mid twenty-teens, a lot of people hated a lot of areas of their homes.  Here are some of those people.
