Work
Samples
All projects are filmed on a mixture of my Lumix S5 mirrorless camera and a Nikon Z6II. Projects are edited and supplemented with assets from the Adobe Creative Suite (photoshop, premiere, stock, express). Add-ons to the Lumix include a small rig matte box, anamorphic and diffusion glass filters, a Ronin Gimbal for stabilization, temperature adjustable lighting (on and off camera), VND filters, lenses from Lumix and vintage lenses from Canon and Helios. Multitrack audio, when applicable, is mixed using Cubase and is typically captured with two large diaphragm condenser microphones, or my attachable microphone as well as lapel microphones provided by Rode as well. Supplemental music is composed using acoustic instruments from my in house studio (full list of equipment in the audio section of my website) and VST's from Spitfire Audio.
why i love drum corps - SCV 2025
A documentary style look into the 2025 season of the Santa Clara Vanguard with voice over work done by yours truly. I produced this as a passion project on the side of teaching the group. I intend to flesh this concept out further in the 2026 season in a docu-series.
Seven Lakes - TCGC State Championship 2024
Nothing quite compares to the final steps in a competitive season of marching band or in this case, indoor drum line. This video documents and captures the sheer emotion present at the final rehearsal and subsequently the final performance.
Orchestral Recording (Multi-cam & Audio)
Videos like this are possible with a combination of video and audio equipment. 4 microphones and two cameras were combined to create this simple but effective recording of Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copeland. This was fully edited and mixed by me.
Grand Lakes JH - Band Recruitment 2022
One of my favorite types of videos to offer is something that provides you with reusability. A recruitment video for your team, workplace, etc. is a great way to take your dollar further and provide longer value. This video was filmed over the course of 2 days with the Grand Lakes Junior High band and was created to show the incoming class what being in band is all about. Additionally, this was a part of a series I completed for Grand Lakes. A video was produced for the fine arts, the choir, the orchestra and the band.
Show Trailer - San Benito 2024
Seasonally I produce trailers like this for bands programs throughout the country. Fusing my work in audio, motion graphics and video editing I try to give my clients a cinematic feel for their upcoming fall productions.
Mia & Ryan Marriage
Mia & Ryan are close friends and it was an honor to film their big day. I wanted the edit to feel intimate, celebratory and to tell the story of the wedding in a way that could be consumed by those who were unable to attend.
Oh, Hooray - NPR Tiny Desk Submission / 2023
The NPR Tiny Desk Contest is a great opportunity for unsigned artists to find some exposure. The video must contain a live performance and a desk. No problem. For this video we organized a shoot with friends and family, built the set from cardboard and reused linens, recorded the audio using a combination of my available microphones and equipment and overall we just had an excellent time.
Oh, Hooray - Music Video "hey, 29"
A music video featuring toys and crafting accessories we found at local thrift shops. We wanted to juxtapose the emotionally intense concepts of the song with something far more light hearted and hopeful.
Shallowater - House Sessions
This was a part of a larger series of videos I did for the band in the lead up to their acclaimed record "God's Gonna Give You a Million Dollars." I headed up the audio and video recording for this as well as the video edit. Dustin Painter mastered the tracks for us.
