Indy to Immortality
I worked with 2nd Decade Productions to shoot this Indy 500 feature for ESPN that aired on ABC before the race. We also shot multiple timelapses and the best one made the cut at the very end!
The Badlands
The Badlands
The Badlands pop up out of nowhere in the middle of South Dakota, but the long drive is worth it once you get out of your car to explore terrain that seems like it’s from another planet. I have more South Dakota photos up on flickr.

Heinz “Now We Can Eat”
Heinz “Now We Can Eat”
A few summers ago I rounded up some family and friends to shoot a commercial for a Heinz Ketchup contest. Not only did it turn out great, but my first ever contest commercial went on to win the grand prize of $57,000 and was shown on national cable networks for several months!
It was all an incredible experience, and I can’t thank all those involved enough for helping me. I wrote, directed and edited the commercial. It was shot by Mark James on a Panasonic Varicam with Master Primes.

While flying back to Talkeetna, Alaska from Denali our small flight-seeing plane flew over this beautiful river. I was lucky to get a good shot of it.
Lookout
Lookout
Somewhere along the highway on the South Island of New Zealand, there is a hiking trail called “Key Summit.” It takes a couple hours to go up, but I can’t recommend it more. The view up there is nothing short of spectacular.

Dawen “Wake Up”
Dawen is an up and coming Pop/R&B artist that I knew from Northwestern. He needed a music video, and I wanted to make one, so we made “Wake Up” happen.

Jim Beam “The Eco-Tragedy”
Jim Beam “The Eco-Tragedy”
This was created for a Jim Beam commercial contest where the goal was to spoof their commercials with the taglines “The Girlfriend”, “The Party”, or “The Tragedy”. This commercial took second place in the contest. I shot it with a Sony EX3 and edited on Final Cut Pro. “The Eco-Tragedy” was written and directed by Mark James.
