About Me<\/p>\n

I’ve been told I’m a Workaholic & they might be right.<\/p>\n

I’ve been located in Nashville, Tennessee since 2014 & I’m available & experienced with travel & remote projects. I’ve produced, directed, filmed & edited hundreds of music, commercial, & documentary projects around the world since 2010. I also have nearly 10 years of VFX experience, truly enabling me to work with as small a team as possible when necessary. I love collaboration, & I’m always excited to bring a vision to life & exceed expectations. Over the last 13 years of video production, I’ve become very well-acquainted with the several aspects of every visual production.<\/p>\n

Pre Production & Development <\/p>\n

The most important part of the production process is the idea itself, & planning the production to function in the most effective way. Before production day, development of the creative vision is crucial to an effective video<\/p>\n

Production<\/p>\n

An efficient production doesn’t have to feel rushed, but the right director\/production will get everything they need with plenty of time to spare. I’m very experienced working with wide range of subjects\/talent, & getting the perfect performance out of them with time to spare.<\/p>\n

Post Production<\/p>\n

The most tedious part of the process by far, potentially requiring several services (Editing, Color Grading, VFX, Animation, etc.) I have been optimizing myself through this process further and further, & I am confident I am one of the fastest & Highest Quality video editors in the country. <\/p>\n

Creatingmoments for the audience instead of just a video.Creating expectations just to subvert them.Generating Engagement and keeping retention in unorthodox, bespoke ways.<\/p>\n

Services<\/p>\n

Look What I Can Do!<\/p>\n

Not every project will require all of my skills & services, but they’re nice to have around when you need them. <\/p>\n

Pre Production<\/p>\n

Pre Production is the most important part of the process. Being able to be on the same page with my team is crucial to bringing the vision to life as accurately as possible. My pre-production process includes:<\/p>\n

Conceptualizing<\/p>\n

Writing + Vision<\/p>\n

Logistical analysis<\/p>\n

Revise Vision<\/p>\n

Storyboarding<\/p>\n

Project Planning<\/p>\n

Securing Locations, Talent, Props, etc.<\/p>\n

Footage Testing<\/p>\n

Video Production<\/p>\n

The Big Show! An efficient production doesn\u2019t have to feel rushed, but the right director\/production will get everything they need with plenty of time to spare. I\u2019m very experienced working with wide range of subjects\/talent, & getting the perfect performance out of them with time to spare. My production skills & services include:<\/p>\n

Director of Photography<\/p>\n

Gear Rental <\/p>\n

Post Production<\/p>\n

The most tedious part of the process by far, potentially requiring several services (Editing, Color Grading, VFX, Animation, etc.) I have been optimizing myself through this process further and further, & I am confident I am one of the fastest & Highest Quality video editors in the country.
