MPC Creative Reel

Highlights from the past few years of production with three full spots at the end.

In 2008, I traveled to CES in Las Vegas to shoot a video for Expert Real Estate Tips.net. I shot and edited this piece which was distributed online through Discover Card's website, as well as Expert Real Estate Tips' YouTube Channel.

Mr. President

This spot was created for the Career Builder Hire My Ad Super Bowl contest. It didn't go on to win, but turned out to be a solid spot. I wrote, directed, and edited "Mr. President" and Mark James shot it on a Sony Ex3 with a Letus adapter and Nikon lenses.

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.

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!

Brandon and Nancy

This is the first wedding video I've made. Two close friends of mine tied the knot in October 2009. I shot most of this with my Nikon D90 using a 50mm prime and a 10-20mm wide angle zoom. A couple ceremony shots were borrowed from the official videographer's camera. Despite it's flaws, the D90 can shoot great video if you use it correctly.

Staging Your Home for Sale

I helped create over 300 videos for the Expert Real Estate Tips YouTube Channel.

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.
