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.

Well, we did it. We completed the 48 Hour Film Project – on time. Now I’ve been obsessing over little details I wish we had caught. It’s so easy to let yourself get caught up in your mistakes. Overall, we put together a pretty solid little film for what we had at our disposal within […]
Well, we’ve done everything we can possibly think to do in order to prepare ourselves for this competition. We’re going into this as rookies to the project so we can expect some bumps and unpredictable things to occur. I really don’t want to be rushing to the finish, swerving in and out of traffic, running […]
Our team, Pants Cannon Media, is getting really excited for the 48HFP. It’s next weekend, and things are really coming together for us. I feel like our team is going into this 48 hours with a good solid plan (as best we can), a ton of talent, and a lot of luck. As of today, […]
I thought about writing a review for Inception, but I’m not really sure I can write anything cohesive or anything that hasn’t been said already. Here is what I DO know: Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. When I saw Memento in 2000 as a little naive 13 year old who scarcely had scratched the […]
I registered a team for the 48 hour film project in Indianapolis. If you don’t know what that is, go to their website and check it out. It’s a film racing competition. I’ve always wanted to participate, but the timing was never right until. I’ve formed a team with 4 ex-classmates that all graduated with […]
Edit 6/30: Added photos! The shoot for the project I blogged (and have been tweeting) about wrapped last night, so I thought I’d do a short post-mortem about the experience while it was still fresh on my mind. Background on the film: It was written by Kate Chaplin, directed by Tom Johnson and Nate Savidge, […]
Tomorrow, I start a 5 day shoot as a production assistant for a local short film called “Leah Not Leia”. While my main interests and career lie in post-production, I do enjoy the camaraderie of a set, and I’ve been wanting to get involved in the indie film in the Indianapolis area for a while. […]
The new iPhone 4 was just announced and demoed at WWDC, and I feel the need to briefly blog about the video features because they are exciting to me: 720p video and video editing, and video conference (called “FaceTime”). This stuff astounds me. Is this what it’s like to get old? Constantly amazed at technology, […]
I took some pictures, rather. I don’t have a nice professional camera, so when I want to take some nice, professionalish pictures, I borrow a friend’s Canon 10D. I baked him a pie in exchange for use of his camera this time so I could shoot my best friend’s engagement portraits. I thought I’d post […]
Does anyone else think online tutorials are the death of creative ingenuity? This is the thought process of a 20 year old media major: Wow that effect is so cool.I wonder how I do that?I know! I’ll just Google it.Oh man, After Effects? Well, I’ll just figure it out as I go along.SCREW THIS, AFTER […]
