All things production and post
Spaceflightnow.com covers each and every shuttle launch and rocket launch that NASA has to offer. They cover each one in great detail, gathering interviews and assembling video packages prior to each live event. For this project, I was called in to direct the live event for shuttle mission STS-127. Continue Reading →
The Bro Bowl
Troy Durett, Lance Robson and myself started documenting the free public skate park in Perry Harvey, Sr. Park in Tampa, FL known lovingly as as The Bro Bowl. Our initial idea was to document the impending destruction of the bowl and the efforts of the skaters and Tampa locals to help “save the bowl” from re-development. However, during the first six months of shooting we quickly realized that our documentary was shaping up to be more about the history of the bowl and the people who skate there. Continue Reading →
CT Shield is a scenario game developed by Xtreme Paintball Xperience. It follows their tagline, Themepark for Paintball, by putting the player into a realistic environment. This is done through realistic “scenes” with hired actors. My role was to create a video that plays while the guests are “preparing” for battle. The video starts as a training video but then breaks into a message that tells the players what to do next. Continue Reading →
Spin that wheel!
This project came to us through an old friend from Fox. We were hired to produce a 30 minute special for the Wheel Of Fortune while it taped a month of shows here at Sea World in Orlando. For this project, Walter Lowe and I split the duties of producing in half; Walter handled the production and I handled all of the post-production. We also brought in a very good friend, Katherine Johnson, to write the show and put together the run-down. Continue Reading →
This production was for Modern Marvels – World’s Biggest 3. Our segment showcased the crawler that is used by NASA to move the shuttle from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad. For this shoot, I was the field audio operator and Dan Beckmann was the DP/camera. This was my first Modern Marvels shoot and it was another exciting project for me because I am a HUGE fan of the History Channel and Modern Marvels. Continue Reading →
This PSA was developed by a very close friend, who is recovering from breast cancer. It was her idea to get the message out to as many people as she could through her connections in television. Since cancer is something that has effected my family, I had no problem donating my time to help produce these spots. I was also touched to see that my partners, Joe Dorsey and Walter Lowe donated their time as well. Continue Reading →
This was a really fun job! I’m not much of a fisherman myself, but I really love boats and being outside in nice weather. This was both of those things. This was a 5 day shoot for ESPN’s “Yo Ish!” show that airs within Bass Masters on ESPN 2. We spent all 5 days out at Disney on several of their private lakes for the shoot. The first two days Dan Beckmann was the DP and I did audio and the last three days I was the DP. I’m happy to say that I had the fun days of shooting this show! The producer Jed, was an awesome guy to work with and Ish was just fantastic. Every once in a while I get to have fun with this job . . . this was one of those times. Continue Reading →
Loki’s backyard adventures was a concept that I developed with Joe Dorsey. It began as an idea for me to visit unique tourist-traps that were off-the-beaten-path. For some reason, places like that fascinate me. Continue Reading →
For my Chicago friends, I don’t have to explain 190 North. For everyone else . . . 190 North is a show that is produced by the local ABC 7 in Chicago. It is a lifestyle show, featuring restaurants, shopping and entertainment in and around Chicago. In my opinion, the show is very well done with high production values and excellent talent. For me it was quite an experience! I had the opportunity to work with this crew as the DP for their show about Disney vacations. Continue Reading →
Beginning in 2006, Blackburst Entertainment began documenting the yearly Torch Relay for Children’s Miracle Network. The Torch Relay begins in Bethesda, Maryland, travels south through Florida and then out west, ending in Los Angeles, California. Blackburst’s task was to capture each day of this 26 day event on video and produce a DVD. The final DVD contained 26 separate 2-3 minute video of each day of the event. Continue Reading →
