I’m a seasoned problem-solver with a lot of opinions about the way we work in the entertainment industry. With 15 years of award-winning experience in media, and hundreds of television and film credits, I want to use my well-honed sense of user empathy and my well-earned technical knowledge to bridge the gap between creative and technology.

As I’ve mentioned randomly before, I regularly practice yoga and have semi-frequently to frequently practiced for 4 years. I’ve seen a lot of benefits, both mental and physical, come from this regular practice. For example, throughout my senior year of college, I had horrible stress-related jaw pain from grinding my teeth at night. The pain […]
Less than a week ago, we got clued into a video contest in our area with a deadline of today. It seemed that there wasn’t much notice for the contest, nor much interest as the deadline was extended originally. The contest was a video about texting and driving for our local government, so we quickly […]
Last Tuesday was about the most exciting Tuesday night I’ve ever had as an adult (I don’t get out much). Watching the FCPUG Supermeet live (via Twitter) and seeing Final Cut Pro X unfold was a pretty interesting experience. I have to say I’m looking forward to using the software. I really like what Apple […]
People end up in editing in a lot of different ways. Some fall into it when they try directing. Others discover it later. For me, it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. I was blogging before it was called blogging, as far as I can tell. My first post that I can find was on […]
I was thinking today about the time I dissected a fetal pig for 11th grade anatomy and physiology class and how it relates to editing. I know this is a pretty weird thought.
I’ve been working on a project with a quick turnaround time for the last week. It was shot last Wednesday and Thursday, and will be presented next Tuesday. It’s essentially a training video with a 20 minute runtime. It’s very straightforward, but it’s still got challenges. It’s probably 97% chroma key footage mixed with a […]
A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Miami to shoot some testimonials for a technical school. It was a good experience. For one thing, I’d never been to Florida before. And I’d never traveled longer than 3 hours for a shoot. And I’d never flown with video equipment. And I […]
I love the Oscars. Even though there are so many amazing films that never have the chance to be nominated, I think the Oscars represent a good cross-section of the best films in any given year. I find the Oscars to be a fun sport, so here are my predictions along with who I would […]
Especially for post-production professionals. Constant conversation, instant replies, and people who kind of actually care. I really think I’m a much better editor because I’m always on top of all changes and tips thanks to Twitter.
fxphd has been going well for me. Though, I have to admit that I’m about 2-3 weeks behind on each class. I really hope I’m not the only one, and I’m sure I’m not because there are far busier editors than I participating in it. I hope to catch up this weekend, though I have […]
