MEDIA & REELS...

Over the last few years, a substantial amount of my production work has been freelance, shooting for other companies, as well as editing and authoring DVD projects for clients of major duplicators. Since the shoots were mostly live events, none of that work is available to show. Below are some samples and clips of projects that I have produced. Please be sure to scroll down to see the variety of media and reels on this page.
 
 
Custom Graphics, Logos, Motion Graphics, Titles & Openings

Custom graphics, logos, motion graphics, titles and openings are all part of the production and post-production process. Below are samples presented in a short slide show.

DVD Production & Authoring

Below is an excerpt from Kaplan Mobray's DVD The 10ks of Personal Branding, one of many such completed. This one is notable, because all of the studio produced shots were done in a green screen studio and then inserted into one of our virtual sets. Kaplan has proven to be a great motivator for his young and professional audiences, to which he makes appearances throughout the country. To find out more about Kaplan, please visit his site at kaplanmobray.com

Below is the intro and a chapter from a training DVD for The Garmin Approach G5, produced for Bennett Media Corporation, a national distributor. The intro segment features both live action (shot in HD) and studio blue screen production. This DVD has just gone on sale nationally, as an optional instructional aid for G5 users/owners. The second clip features some nice animations and describes how the Global Positioning System (GPS) network and devices that utilize this network operate.

Music Video Showcases

Some of my favorite projects are working with musicians and recording artists on music videos or recording them live at gigs. Below are samples of showcases produced using with multiple cameras.

 

Of particular note, footage from one of our favorite singer/songwriters, Elza (ElzaMusic.com), the Elza At The Bitter End In NYC shoot, below, is now featured in the documentary film Single. Written, produced and directed by Richard Atkinson & Jane Scandurra, Single had its first screening on January 23, 2008 at the Tribecca Film Center in NYC. More information about this film is available at SingleFilm.com.
