A series of short videos about the years wall of fame inductees.

A short documentary about a non-profit arts organization. Lighting and filming multi-cam interviews. Filming b-roll with director.

A very quick production with eight shooting days. Single camera. All night scenes, mostly interior. Lit with soft light and many practicals. Main set was an antique passenger train which meant for extremely tight quarters and limited numbers on set. Pre-lighting/pre-rigging were used to maximize time on set and allowed for camera tests. Distributed online as an interactive murder mystery event.

Mixed boom and lav tracks. Recorded wild lines. Captured some foley on set. Delivered organized sound files to production.

Maintain the camera to be ready to shoot at all times. Keep camera notes. Measure and pull focus. Load and change film magazines. Some second unit and pick up photography.

Lighting and operating. One set built on stage and lit so subject appeared to be in an infinite black space. Second set on location in a house. Location was lit night for day. Camera/lighting test and a pre-light were crucial to the film's visual success.

Financed the film. Built budget and hired cast and crew. Oversaw post production and festival entries.

Organized locations and cast and crew logistics.

As a production assistant, I worked with the UPM to coordinate transportation, gear pick up, and catering. I assisted the DP with lighting setups, and the set designer with locations and set dressing.

As a PA I worked mostly with the producers on logistics. I went on many runs picking up and dropping off gear, props, lunch orders, and other items needed for production. The show changed locations often so I helped with company moves, as well as doing whatever was needed of me.

I reported directly to the first AD, bringing things to and from set, locking up during takes, going on runs and doing whatever was needed. Also began working with DP and 1st AC as an additional camera assistant.

Picked up gear from rental house, assisted with setup and breakdown, collected releases.
