Editor

Food documentary I directed, produced and cut for McCormick the spice brand for their series 'Amercian Homemade'. Here's the mini-doc: http://youtu.be/xcfdBLl5pTY

I cut a series of commercials for Oscar Mayer's new P3 protein pack starting with simply the raw footage and the brand's creative brief then worked to finish the spots per notes from the director, agency creative director and client.

Brought on to help finish converting season 2 of Secret Princes which was originally cut by a company in the UK.

Finishing editor for the new Caesar Millan (Dog Whisperer) show.

Built this MTV pilot that would be a series about bridesmaids preparing for a friend's wedding. An hour-long pilot was completed in two very aggressive weeks of post with the Executive Producers and Network Executives in and out of the edit bay making daily notes.

Produced and edited a pilot pitch for a behind-the-scenes documentary travel show about filmmakers. https://vimeo.com/69548290 pass: calicolombia

Sample of the work: http://youtu.be/Nkm8ZQZzsWI http://youtu.be/ODo-IvZIANg

As reality shows go, this one was as close to documentary as they get which was exciting for us all to work on. Joke and Biagio have pretty high standards as far as their post staff goes so we all got to work with A players on this show.

Cookie cutter, edit by the numbers home remodeling show.

Celebreality show following Girls Next Door alum Kendra and her ex-NFL player husband Hank. Fun, lighthearted show about Kendra juggling with career and family.

Pilot for a show thats like a 20-something version of Millionaire Matchmaker. Four sophisticated and sexy women find the perfect match for their upscale and overworked clients.

Similar to Kitchen Nightmares, this show has bar/nightclub business makeover expert John Taffer save failing watering holes. A structured show that provides entertainment watching the host fly off the handle and informational in it's psychological study of human behavior inside of nightclubs.

Custom car culture show that pits four contestants against each other to prove who has the coolest ride. Worked with executives on the pilot to create the shows tone and structure.

The strangest show I've ever worked on. It is best described as softcore ghostporn campfire stories. In very stylized re-enactments, women who have had "erotic encounters" with ghosts retell the moments between the sheets with their other-worldly lovers.

Follow show about guys who do really cool things with ice sculptures like make a fully functional baby-grand piano. Like a lot of these shows, the business and time pressure was totally made up by production so we had to cut it to seem authentic.

Cut/developed the sizzle/pilot.

Elimination editor

Cut promo pieces/pods.

Worked closely with story producers to build scenes and episodes.

Worked with EPs and story to build episodes.

Cut promo pieces.

Developed, shot and cut pilot with the EP.

I was one of the first editors brought on after having worked for the EP on Kimora.

Built episodes with the story producer. A lot of cheating to create "ghosts" on this one.

Built episodes with the story producers.

I built the first episode of the first season of this show with one other editor. Then cut several episodes of season one and season two including the finale of season 2.

Cut and developed the show with the EP. I lent him a lot of my experience cutting more soft-scripted and structured reality television than his doc background taught him. It aired on the MOJO Network which is not listed here and was #1 on iTunes for a while.

The way this company worked we got notes from the EP and built scenes which were fed to the lead editor.

As an existing makeover show this was a no-brainer to cut, but all the editors and I had a pretty heavy graphics workload using a lot of photoshop and color-correcting our episodes.

This was a one-day job where the live feed of Jack Black doing his antics as the host had to be cut into promos between commercial breaks and sent back to air via a high-speed data pipeline. A very high-pressure live TV kind of deal.

I was brought in to cut web content out of the outtakes/discarded scenes and worked on some of the elimination scenes.

Directed, produced and edited this concert documentary film featuring No Doubt, Sublime, Los Lobos, Fishbone, Pennywise and other bands playing a concert in tribute to Sublime founder Bradley Nowell to raise funds for Hurricaine Katrina.
