I had a blast directing tons of talented kiddos in this 3-day commercial shoot! It was such a fun opportunity to live out my Star Wars obsessed 9-year-old self!
Esoteric Clothing - BTS Video
I had the pleasure of capturing a Behind The Scene fashion video for Esoteric Clothing Co. at Sultan Sea. Using our high-speed camera, we were able to capture a really great style piece for the 2015 clothing line. As always, keep your eyes peeled... video is coming shortly!
Special Camera Rigs Make For Special Images
I had a great time collaborating with Brian Michael Henderson, my DP on our most recent commercial project. Our mission was to capture lots of real, visceral moments with our talent and a few shots required some creative solutions to overcome the size of a heavy camera. It was fun to see the team build these two rigs to get the camera right in the action!

Multi-Cam BBQ Cooking Show
Back out in hot and humid Texas for some H-E-B BBQ cooking videos! Time to light that grill and make some steaks sizzle!
Stand-in Time!
Sure we could have asked a PA to stand in but that defeats the strategy of fully understanding the comfort of this prop mattress!!! On set for the short, 'Molly' shot in Los Angeles.
H-E-B Texas Shoot

Disney Commercial - With Minnie!
I had a great time working on this Minnie Style project with Disney. Looking forward to the launch at Coachella 2015!
Circus TV Commercial
We had a great week in Frisco, TX filming a TV commercial for Circus Nation. My highlight was having the opportunity to have the arena to ourselves to film the Tiger-cage act. The footage looks incredible and we were able to get the trainer to use our Helix stabilizer to get up close shots of the Tigers swiping their paws at the lens. The footage looks insane! Keep your eyes peeled for the product once its completed!
DTLA Commercial Shoot
Moments away before our first shot of the morning. We can't say much about this project just yet but this will culminate into a bigger campaign for 2016. Looking forward to its release!
Working With Microsoft
I had the pleasure of working with some of Microsoft's executives and developers at their headquarters based in Seattle, Washington. Highlights include printing out 3D models with 3D printers, working with former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, and having a pizza party with developers as they explain the future of 3D printing and how we will be able to print out custom medications for patients.
Hero Blast Commercial
I had the best time directing a commercial in Wisconsin for an awesome laser tag product coming out onto the market. The kids we had on set were fun to work with and we made sure to play any chance we could get!
Ford Escape TV Commercial
Even though rain unexpectadly came early in the morning, we had a great time shooting this Ford Escape commercial in Los Angeles. Thanks to the rain clouds, we were able to capture an incredible sunset shot! We appreciate your majestic glory Mother Nature; Cheers!
Lift Fund Commercial
I had a wonderful time working with Lift Fund in creating this video for their company. The small business owners in this product all had unique stories to tell and it was a pleasure working with them.
Trying Out New Gear
It's important for me to know what tools of the trade are available and how they function so that I can properly understand their abilities to ultimatly implement them on set. I had a day to try this Letus Helix on a Steadicam and I was impressed. After some adjustments, the brushless gimbal performed flawlessly. I was impressed with its ability to hold the camera at a level horizon throughout each shot I performed even in certain shots when my operating was a bit off.
Set Selfie
When in doubt, take a mirror board selfie!
Birds Eye Commercial
I had a wonderful time working with my cast and crew in creating our Birds Eye family commercial. Keep your eyes peeled for the final product!

Portfolio Photography
All this directing makes a man want to pick up a camera again. I did a headshot session with Kyle Waters Gellar to dust off some of the old cobwebs and play again. We had a great day and I'm happy with the GQ shot we pulled off on a rooftop of Los Feliz, CA.
Amazing Hennessy Commercial
If you're going to shoot a liquor ad make sure you portray one of the sexiest era's in human history. I'm filled with awe and envy over this Hennessy commercial. Check it out!
