2014:

Kia 2014 Dealership Conference
This was a series of videos that played during the keynote speech, including 6 presentations from dealerships around the country and another to precede the reveal of the new model Sedona. Each piece was created for multiple screens that wrapped around the audience (at a combined resolution of 18632 x 1080) for a total of 23 videos delivered. I also helped the other 5 editors & motion artists on the Special Order team in the completion, encoding, and delivery of their portions of the show.

DIT, assistant editor

Relatively Prime Series 2 Kickstarter Video
I made a video for my friend Sam without either of us flying across the continent to be in the same room. This is my third animated collaboration with Lewis Sequeira. Between the hand-drawn style and the kind of improvisational animation techniques, I think this is probably a lot better than last year's space video. (The campaign was a success.)

A Quiet Night In
A 168-hour Film project, in which shorts inspired by bible verses are produced in 1 week or less. Nice folks, manageably small scope, and a short film that was actually short. In addition to cutting, I also did some light sound and color work and cleanup VFX.

That in addition to sound mixing, some color correction, editing the special features, designing and creating the DVD, label, and packaging.

Surviving Disaster
Spike TV and ex-Navy Seal Cade Courtley show you what to do if you get stuck in an Irwin Allen movie. As one of two assistant editors, I worked nights with a specialty on ingest. We shot over a dozen video formats, supported five edit bays, and managed upwards of 80 drives. Syncing sound, multiclipping footage, producing manageable and useful file structures and Final Cut Pro project files, all in a night's work.

The Train
What started as a plan for making a quick and easy green screen web show turned into a thing with 5 seasons of mythology and all manner of complications, but we never made a show.
Co-writer, director, editor

From what I could determine at the time of this writing, 4 years later, Duncan Trussell was producing sketches for this show, which was on Fuel TV. I did one shot for him, which was of a fire burning in the background of a shot. Breakdown

I never even met anyone on this one, it was just email tech support to guide the production through Compressor and DVD Studio Pro. The knowing observer might recognize this block of entries as one of those times I said yes to every gig on Craigslist, just to see what would happen.

MnR Dance Factory
This LA dance studio paid some guy to edit together home video footage of their graduation show, except he didn't. Two or three days before it was due that guy paid me to do it for him. Portions of the three hours of finished material seem to be on youtube, including this puppet tool-based intro.

Smash Lab
Overnight tape ingestion for the production company Silver Machine. This was a show for the American market on the cable channel Discovery, which was shot in Los Angeles, in PAL, so that it could be more conveniently edited in London. Interesting fact: One full PAL DVCProHD tape is almost exactly as long as one episode of HBO's Entourage.

Additional editing

Project Nightlight
This wasn't a video, but it was an interesting gig. Project Nightlight is an anti-child abuse organization that posted billboards all over LA county. It was my job to take an alphabetized list of their locations and document as many of them as were still standing. It made my photo library-based screensaver really weird for a while.

Bud Light/Maxim Exposure Tour: Cleveland
It's like this: companies want to sell things to trendy club goers, so they throw a party. They hire some models, and stand them up near the entrance to the party with a number of other locals who are given fake cameras with working flash guns. Club goers enter, grope models, have flashbulbs fired at their eyes, and then go drinking. Later in the night, slides (shot months in advance) are projected featuring trendy club goers, but nobody knows the difference because trendy club goers all look rather alike.
