Worked as an editor on several short form programs for radio.com some of which were chosen for broadcast on CBS.

Came up with unique compositions to show off the LED lighting in lowlight situations, used stop motion photography for 360 degree coverage, and mounted Hero3 directly to underside of board for a compelling perspective.

Worked closely with Gary Wilkins creating sound in a way that paid homage to the game’s original design while crafting something new. Several days of research, a few days of foley collection, then a lot of communication back and forth with the director until we found the perfect blend.

Shot almost entirely handheld and with natural lighting, Tank and Holly (Directors/Producers) trusted me to "do my thing" with minimal parameters allowing me to really move freely to follow the action.

Worked under DoP Brian Garrity to capture key moments and beauty broll used throughout the show and for Promotions. One of my fondest memories was going out in the middle of the night to shoot the Northern Lights for Several hours. What a great show and a great crew!

Best experience was hanging with the crew one sunset when we were on the island of Ometepe (formed by two volcanoes) watching the DoP Derek Carver capture everything in a magnificent time-lapse.

Clarke was interested in how I would put together a trailer so I cut him eight Trailers, now all available as extras on the DVD. Although I did not actually edit the film, because of my trailers Clarke recut the film and gave me honorary Assistant Editor Credit.

Spent several weeks in preproduction discussing the shotlist, storyboarding, location scouting and running screen tests followed by an intense sprint creating all the original content seen in the monitors throughout the film. The greatest thrill was being able to get so much coverage thanks to the talents of my team.

Worked closely with the director going through script and song line by line to create storyboard, spent 1 day on location then 1 day with Gaffer to pre-light, shot in 2 days almost entirely handheld and utilizing a second camera for select cutaways.

Working with Clarke is always a pleasure, we build off each other's ideas and always achieve outstanding results. Many of these shots are taken from the actual recording session while others are stolen from an amazing performance we covered at The Ryman. The highlight was interviewing Jeff Daniels!

The directors weren't satisfied with the ending so they hired me. I had the help of the very talented Clarke Mayer and Mike Vernazza as well as my entire crew at WDK Films. Together we were able to reshoot the entire ending in a very long but efficient 16hr day.

Produced a corporate video for Bacardi on their "Education at Sea" event. The DVD was presented to the president of Bacardi at the time, John Esposito, who was very happy with the presentation and way things were captured.

Worked out all issues with cameras, TC set-up, wiring, headsets, and monitors. Best part was I saved the day by correcting an output issue from laptop to multiple screens so that signage was properly displayed on all in-house monitors.
