    Samples of My Work



    Some animation I did in After Effects, over a picture of me being assaulted by Star Wars characters.



    I wrote, shot, and in every way produced this PSA for a local charity.




    I was the Assistant Colorist for the official ad, but this is a version that I Color Corrected myself.




    I made this FAKE AD for Virgin Galactic mostly because I was looking for an excuse to edit some time lapse from space.




    I created this alleged "fact" as a way to exercise my motion graphics skills in Final Cut.




    I edited this sizzle reel for the show House Haunters on HGTV, cutting it down from 42min to what you see here.




    I created this sample of Green Eggs and Ham by scanning pages from the book, editing them in GIMP, then animating the first several pages.




    The original editor left this project for the International Rescue Committee before the client was happy with the piece, so I sat with the producer and worked it into something they were pleased with.
