We filmed the guests arriving into the suite at the Super Bowl filmed them checking out the stadium and then eating dinner in the empty stadium the night before the Super Bowl and then the next morning we woke them up with breakfast in bed accompanied by Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys.

I was both a Robotics Camera operator, which means sitting at a control board and operating robotic cameras placed in meeting rooms to capture team and position group meetings with up to 3 cameras per room recording 2-3 rooms at the same time.

I was responsible for bringing the clients vision to life and creating the look and feel of the project.

We were filming for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society my job was to capture 800 out of 52000 people that were running the marathon for this cause. It was a very difficult job because its a marathon so you get one shot at seeing the people and then you have to rush to the next location to try and spy some more people. Not to mention that the group of people we are trying to capture makes up 1.5% of the total running.

I was responsible for picking camera, lenses, and how to best capture the creative directors vision. Was a very technical piece, we were wanting to have a "Bird man" style piece where all of our edits were hidden and the piece seemed to be a 1 shot piece.

This was a project in which we delivered an iPad to a deserving YMCA employee. We shot on all DSLR and we had a DJI Ronin to capture a walk and talk with the hosts of Fox Sports San Diego who were delivering the iPad. It was a fun down and dirty project for a great cause.

We were shooting ads for social media and in app content of athletes such as Michele Wie and Keegan Bradley so that ZEPP can have pop up videos that will allow the athlete to know what they need to work on and what instructional content will best help them with that.

For this project Deuce Brand reached out to me to collaborate on this project with street ball player "The Professor" Deuce Brand created a product with the professor and this was a video project to launch and sell the product. We created a 2 minute piece that told the story of The Professor and then we created a 30 and 15 second piece for teasers on social media. We shot in 5 locations over the course of the day with different styles at each to show that this product was versatile in both an active and relaxed lifestyle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J4x2q_CE4A
