Check out my latest reel, featuring footage from projects I have worked on over the last few years. One of my favorite parts of my job is the variety. I get to film so many different things, from cows on organic farms for a documentary, to a Boston-based rock band for a music video, to little orange robots for a trade show video. I always try to look at things in a unique way, bringing a fresh perspective to my projects.

The Sound of Music
August 30th, 2010Let’s talk about music. I’ve been thinking about this post for a while now but am finally getting down to writing it. Music is arguably one of the most powerful mediums we have; it can so strongly help to create a mood or emotion and can stay with you for hours or days (even when you don’t want it to).

Expansion
July 23rd, 2010So this week I added a new piece of gear to my arsenal. Unfortunately this piece of gear won’t make me much money, but it will get me from point A to point B. I bought a new car, a minivan, in fact. As anyone in production knows, having a good sized production vehicle can [...]
