Bed Bugs- a brief history

This project started in the summer for me, but it wasn't released until just now- I edited the rough for the entire piece, but the opening I helped to create remains as is. Working with many people closely at CCFV and working closely with the producers and clients helped make this so cool. The opening section for a longer PSA with ten tips to preventing getting the dreaded pests (featured here). Enjoy--

Dr. Miracles

A fun series of spots I edited for the Dr. Miracles brand.  I believe the strategy was to run the :15 for a while, then follow it up with the :30 that references the :15.  A neat strategy in my mind.  Please enjoy them in that order-

Catching up–

Catching up a bit here from a very busy summer.  Here is a piece I did with the folks at CCFV for History Channel.com.  Using sources from all over the History Channels' library of footage, the job was to integrate graphics into this piece and make it all work together as seamlessly as possible.  Basically this short piece will tell you all the basic facts about the Battle of the Alamo in one short go.

This next spot is deceptively simple looking and employs several layers to erase signage and make the transitions from each focal length more seamless. It aired in Delaware movie theaters in an effort to discourage DUI. This piece was also made in conjunction with the stellar folks at CCFV.

Recent Strides

Yikes!  It's been a busy, busy summer.  Some recent projects I've worked on include, but are not limited to the following.

The pilot episode of a new series at Nancy Glass Productions, also I've been hard at work with the happy crew there on their long list of fine television programmes... Kitchen Impossible, Drill Team, and Money Hunters.

Additionally I helped craft a really neat PSA with the talented folks at Center City Film & Television and hope to be able to share some links to that project soon.

Last but by no means least I've also begun working on a locally produced feature film called Operation Get Rid of Pinky.  The new trailer we're producing for that should also be available very soon.

Sorry to breeze through this update, there is a lot going on and I've got to get back to work!
