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.

I made a video for work that has by our standards, kind of gone “viral”. It’s difficult to make a video go viral in our industry just because of the nature of what we do – unless a truck is ridiculously tricked out, or a semi is crashing, people don’t really spread it too much. […]
At my job, I commonly have to encode files for the web. Recently, I’ve added a new deliverable specification to each project I finish: three versions of the file for a streaming video library that will dynamically choose which version to play based upon the viewer’s internet connection. I commonly edit on a ProRes 422 […]
Our 48 hour film project participation and win was apparently published in the fall edition of Informatics, our alma mater’s bi-yearly magazine. Too bad they didn’t publish the picture I emailed them too. Ah well. This magazine is mailed to students and alumni of Informatics, and will be sitting in the various school lobbies throughout […]
I like award season, I can’t help it. It’s entertaining to me and I like to try to predict the winners. Here are my predictions for this year’s Golden Globes.
I saw Black Swan last Friday and as I expected, I enjoyed it immensely. I first heard about it earlier this year when it started making its way to various festivals (where it did very well), and being a huge fan of Aronofsky, I was intrigued. It opened in one theater in Indianapolis (I think), […]
End of the year means list time! Everybody loves lists. It seems like there weren’t that many films I went to see this year. Inception Toy Story 3 Scott Pilgrim vs. The World A Single Man The Social Network Films I plan on seeing soon: Black Swan The King’s Speech Winter’s Bone 127 Hours True […]
For a project for work, I had to put together a snow globe. I looked into what other people had done in the past for snow globes and I had some issues. I didn’t think they looked quite right for my project. And I needed to zoom out from a video to reveal that the […]
I submitted our 48 Hour Film Project film that we created in July/August to a film festival a couple of weeks ago. I actually wrote this the day I did it and scheduled WordPress to public it a little later in the day since I had just published another blog, but it apparently decided to […]
Today I was putting together a little motion graphics project for a promotional video at work. I work in corporate video, so extra creative projects don’t come by all the time. When I do get a project I can potentially put more creativity in to, I like to take the time to try some things […]
I work for a marketing/advertising company that focuses on the trucking industry, so I spend a bit of time shooting in the field. Often, shoots are somewhat run-and-gun or impromptu and there isn’t much time to prepare. We shoot at a trucking school, so there are always lots of trucks driving back and forth nearby. […]
