It was a pleasure working alongside friend and talented actor, Renée Felice Smith, with two of the most unpredictable and challenging subjects, Dogs and Children. But, I must say, it went smoother than expected. Everyone had great patience and work ethic, and the results are the best we could have hoped for! So far, this spot has aired on national television to over 45 million viewers.

Duet is a charming little messaging app that brings the romance back to one-on-one communication and helps you remember to "Do things with people you love."

With about a month of brainstorming ideas, I drew out the storyboards for what would be the video for Duet. It was shot in 14 locations, with 27 actors.  As for music, I decided to write a small piano piece to accompany the mood, then arranged around it with banjo, percussion, trombone, and a rhodes piano.

This was a great project to start off with at Crush + Lovely, and it was especially enjoyable to explore different ways to achieve the more challenging shots, including using a skateboard as a dolly for any scenes with motion.

Baked by Melissa asked me to create a short video showing off the new augmented-reality feature of their iPad app. It's called 'Magic Cam'. The video is shot in First Person Perspective. I lit it in a way that created a small space of focus, so the edges trail off into darkness, but the colors are welcoming. It's short, simple and fun, and was a blast to make!

This was a big vision with a small budget. When I first heard the song "Oak", it reminded me of a music box, which is where the rotating motion came from. Everything else grew from imagination and lyrical themes from the song and album (i.e. the writer). With help from Jon Rick (These Animals Guitarist), and the rest of the band, we constructed a 20-foot wall on wheels attached to a camera platform which would rotate, to give the illusion of a moving floor. It was certainly one of the more exciting projects I've ever had a part of, not to mention the members of the band are some of the best people you're likely to meet.
