What I do
I’ve spent the last 25 years or so learning how to concept, create, refine and deliver creative projects. The tools have changed and I’ve certainly changed, but my aim has always been Robin Hood reliable. Trying to figure out what humans want, why they want it and when they want it will always be a source of constant frustration and fascination – it’s the main reason I’m still interested in dreaming up solutions for the latest contestant behind door #2.
after effects
After Effects is one of my daily drivers and has been for 15 years or so – if it moves onscreen, I probably used AE to wind it up.
premiere
Premiere is another tool in my bag of non-linear editing programs. I’ve guillotine spliced film, punched analog in and out points and selected my share of iconic blade tools.
photoshop
Photoshop has been a reliable coconspirator in fabricating the puzzle pieces that comprise digital projects across the board. Color correction, retouching and wrinkles removed on demand.
videography
I’ve had a video camera of some sort in my hand for over 30 years. That sentence actual scares me. Let’s just say I’m comfortable using cameras of any make, model or manufacture date.
voiceovers
I’ve supplied my vocal cords to a variety of projects over the years. They are always available and can be used in professional, scratch track or any capacity in between.
photography
I borrowed my father’s Nikon after film school and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot a buffet of subject matter spanning eat at your own risk food styled plates to don’t you dare shoot after the 3rd song Aretha Franklin concerts.
MY Skills
I’ve developed a wide skill set over the years that covers pretty much everything you’d need to breathe life into a campaign. I’m not saying I should cover every position on the field, but you can plug me into almost any situation and I’ll be able to keep the ship afloat. The right person for the right job at the right time is always the better call, but I’m always on the bench if you need me.
