Explore Lincoln City
Destination marketing at its finest. Leaning into the chill vibes of the coast while highlighting the natural beauty of a place like Lincoln City almost comes at second nature. Hard to come across shoots more fun than this.
Potrland trail blazers
Most recently, I’ve been doing freelance video editing and motion design for the Portland Trail Blazers. Producing videos that run on in the arena during games as well as on their social pages. The team is a blast to work for and these pieces are a refreshing change of pace. I love their light, fun feel.
Around the House
Hard work pays off…. with more work. After working the news grind in Arizona for over a year. I transferred to Portland’s Gray Television station FOX 12 where I took charge of the production of a lifestyle television show called Around the House Northwest. Part luxury home tours, part DIY, all fun. This project taught me more skills than any other to date. From running a small team to more advanced post-production, there was never a dull moment.
Emmy Award-winning
The Forgotten
This project might take the cake for the one that I am proudest of. Not only was it my first time getting to work on a documentary for a major outlet, I was able to use that opportunity to tell a very important story. The podcast for The Forgotten has already received an Edward R. Murrow award and the documentary recieved an Emmy.
Hundred-Year Mirage
Half academic assignment and half fever-pitch passion project, Hundred-Year mirage is a documentary that explores the causes of and potential solutions to water scarcity in the Colorado River Basin. It required an obscene amount of travel and hundreds of hours of labor but it is still one of my proudest accomplishments.
A New Love of Sport
I had never been very interested in sports but that changed the moment I first filmed football for this project. The fast pace, high energy, and raw emotion lend themselves perfectly to video. The speed, constant obstacles, and difficult angles provide a challenge that, as a photographer and videographer, is hard to resist.
Awash in Sound
When I decided to do a piece on sound meditation, it was tempting to follow the normal documentary format of talking heads with b-roll and clips of audio from the night of recording. I decided against this and produced what I believe is a more experimental participatory piece that places the viewer within the sound meditation session as directly as possible.
Lavender Fields Forever
Spending a couple of hours in a lavender field filming has got to be one of the best and most relaxing ways to start your day. The rising of the sun slowly eases up your available light and expands the color palette from cool pastels to vibrant green, blue and… well, lavender. All this, surrounded by butterflies and bees, feels like something straight out of a fairy tale.
