Manual Microdermabrasion Peel System

This was a sales video created for Cospro Inc to play on video monitors in their stores. I was involved in all levels of the production. I designed the set, lit it and then shot the footage with a DVX-100A. The graphics were created in Livetype and the video edited in Final Cut Studio . The producer/director sat in on the edit session.

Unfinished NBC Digital Studios project - What The Fight

Sadly, when Digital Studios was closed down the project I had put the most amount of work into was left unfinished. What The Fight was intended as a game of sorts. People would visit the WTF site, select their combatants as well as their weapons and then would get to see a short video of the resulting fight. Over 100 different fights were filmed and more half were in some stage of editing when the project was abandoned. Of that number I was editing about half. I was given free reign with this. All that was provided was the footage and I would construct the fights however I chose. The following fights are the only ones I managed to take with me and are all in various stages of completion.

The Beta version of the site is still up and fights, which I cut the vast majority of, are viewable there: http://whatthefight.com/

This first video is entirely my own creation. The actually video was originally only supposed to be the footage you see at the end. I felt it didn't work on its own and so invented the intro that comes before it.

Old NBC Digital Studios Work

Sadly, because NBC shut down Digital Studios so unexpectedly, well, for me at least, I was never able to collect copies of my work from there. Here are a few of the samples I have been able to find:

Untitled News Comedy Show
Shot in LA on Beta and then copied over to NYC servers, this project was edited on Final Cut with the producer sitting in on the sessions. It eventually aired on Dotcomedy.com, which doesn't allow embedding so I can only post a link to the episode. I also provided some finishing on earlier episodes when the original editor wasn't available.

Hot Crush
All 5 episodes of this show were shot in a single day. I operated the second camera, a Panasonic DVX-100B, and was responsible for picking the best angles and positions after being assigned an area to shoot from.

Special of the Day
This was a commissioned show that Digital Studio's produced for sister company iVillage. Cut with FCP I was assistant editor for the series and would put together a rough cut for the editor based on the producers original paper edit. iVillage's website doesn't allow for embedding so I can only post a link to one of the videos.

The Start

I recently realized that I don't have an up-to-date reel with which to show off the body of my work. The reality has been that I've moved from one staff job to the next, essentially being headhunted rather than applying, and so haven't had much need for one.

But the times they are a changing. A friend, who's a fellow editor, mentioned that his reel isn't up-to-date either but that he makes up for it with a blog that houses all of his new work as it becomes available. Since I'm usually pressed for time I think that's a pretty brilliant way of going about it and so I'm shamelessly stealing the idea. In the coming weeks this blog will begin to be a storage space for any videos I've either shot or edited that are available on the web. It probably won't be of much interest to a casual reader but then I've never managed to be a consistent or interesting blogger anyway.
