Indy to Immortality

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!

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.

Dawen “Wake Up”

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.
