Reels and Commercial Editing

Rhythm is very important when it comes to telling stories and capturing viewers.  When a video has the right flow, it connects to us in powerful ways.  Editing is a series of decisions that can affect how well the message is communicated, but it's the heartbeat of those decisions that makes all the difference.

Blur Studio Animation/FX Reel


For this reel, I focused on showcasing Blur's jaw-dropping animation while also highlighting their incredible knack for creating compelling character driven pieces.

Batman Arkham Origins TV Spot


This is a short spot I cut from the original 5 minute trailer.

ADR1FT TV Clair de lune Trailer


For this ad, I sifted through gameplay footage finding the best shots, and integrating the quoted accolades.

RIP-O-MATIC TRAILERS

A rip-o-matic is a method of pitching an idea for a project that doesn't exist yet. It is created using a wide variety of existing sources that are juxtaposed to create the illusion of a cohesive story.  For directors and producers, these trailers and reels are often an integral part of the green-lighting process.

Green Lantern Fan Trailer


This was created before a Green Lantern film ever existed.  Unlike most of my other projects, this one was done just for the fun of it.

FIVE Senses Trailer


I was approached by a producer with this idea for a film about a man who witnesses a crime, but ignores it.  The result is a thriller story about him suffering the loss of the senses he failed to use.

Technotise Remake Trailer


Based on the animated Serbian film, titled Technotise: Edit and I.   This project was commissioned by those who held the live-action rights, and ultimately prompted Legendary Pictures to pick up the live action rights to this property.

CHURCH VIDEOS

A large part of my experience has been in creating content for use in churches.  From sermon bumpers and testimonies to amusing kid-friendly content, these videos are meant to inspire, teach, and help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Morph Series Trailer


Meant to kick-off a new year and a new series, this promo focused on the different themes of addiction and recovery we would discuss each week.

Revelation Series Trailer


This trailer was meant to invite people to a sermon series through the book of Revelation. It was made using the rip-o-matic technique and the music is an original composition I created based on the popular worship song, "Revelation Song."

The Branch Office


Created as entertainment for a church celebration, this "episode" is both a parody of NBC's  The Office and a parody of the real-life staff of The Branch Church in Dallas, TX.

Baby Moses


This fun children's ministry intro put the story of Moses in a new light.

Summer Camp Recap 


A video scrapbook of all the fun times and life-changing experiences summer camp has to offer.

Storyboards & Animatics

One of my favorite things to do is to compile a rough draft and realize the first stages of a script coming to life through storyboards sound effects and music.  Often times I'm privileged to see the first version of a sequence and other times I get to "trim the fat" of an animatic to make it flow better.  This is a hard thing to show here as most of my work is locked in the NDA vault.  But here is a final result of one of the projects I was able to work on.
