Executive Produced and DP'd for Oprah's official YouTube channel: over two million organic views in under three months.
A multi-song live performance shot multicam, switched live and projected live in Times Square. Plus live broadcasts on Meta's direct API with MrBeast's Head of Production Coordination, Jean-Claude Van Damme and rising global talent.
Shot for National Debt Relief: vertical, feed-first spots for Instagram, lit and framed to stop the scroll.
Real footage, with the wound painted in by AI. The results come from planning before the shoot: the right plates, light and coverage, so the AI has what it needs. Planned AI looks real. Bolted-on AI shows.
The same hands that shoot the work design and build the products around it: full-stack web platforms, an iOS app on the App Store, and the funnel sites and social that sell them.
It started as a thought: we needed to see the full experience of an artist's path. ARTEEST.co lets us be fans of musicians again, following artists, bands, labels and festivals through their discographies and timelines. Here is the whole road: the day-5 build, the proof of concept, and the site itself.
Your words. By heart.
A memorization app for scripts, Scripture, lyrics, speeches and spelling, live on the App Store. Built with its own funnel site, MemoryLabApp.com, and the social spots that bring people to it.
Films, shows and campaigns, from first idea to final color. Fifteen years of network television, features with A-list talent and big-concept commercials, with the same craft brought to documentaries, podcasts, social, brand work and live events.
Producer, director, DP, editor, colorist and Technical Director in one hire, carrying a project from concept to delivery. Two Sons of Legion videos made for $3,000 total have passed 9.6 million views.
Documentary travel pieces shot solo, camera to sound, as in Armenia. When the shot needs to move: drone up high, scissor crane in the middle, AntigravityCam down low, often all in one day.
Also designs and builds the products around the work: ARTEEST.co, a music discovery platform that lets fans follow an artist's whole path, and MemoryLab, an iOS memorization app on the App Store with its own funnel site, MemoryLabApp.com, and the social that drives it. This site was built the same way.
Came up from the bottom and takes no frame for granted. On time or early, with ideas that make the day faster and the picture better.
