This video puts my storytelling skills on full display.
I used the footage shot sporadically over a week long, surprise backpacking trip and little to no special effects in order to weave together a touching story.
“Man, this is just wholesome as hell.”
“This is the YouTube content people want”
“this has to be my most favorite video you have ever done”
It required many days of work and revisions in order to craft every scene, transition, and sponsored segment, but the result is a timeless video that captures an unforgettable trip.

On the other end of the spectrum, this video was shot, edited, and posted all in under 24 hours.
Proper planning and execution of the shoot along with access to high quality b roll footage allowed me to crank this video out very quickly.

This mini-documentary involves multiple interviews with staff members as well as event footage in order to tell the story of the laser special effects artist, a key team member in this convention.
It involved synthesizing hours of footage and pulling out common narrative threads from all the interviews in order to craft the story.

In this video, George picks up 500 clownfish from a breeder, takes them to his friends’ fish store, and sets them up as a beautiful display.
It was made from about 2 days of footage from 2-3 locations and has helped generate hundreds of clownfish sales for his business.

Belen Market in Iquitos, Peru, is a chaotic, sprawling bazaar where exotic meats, rare Amazonian creatures, and powerful shamanic potions are sold openly. It’s a place where the black market and ancient traditions collide in a jaw-dropping display. My job was to convey the unsettling, overwhelming, fast-paced adventure!

In this video, Cat, a dental hygienist, reviews the Dental Pod Pro by Zima Dental, an ultrasonic dental appliance cleaner.
Zima Dental sponsors Cat’s channel and provided an affiliate link, and Cat referred so many sales, it crashed their payout system.

Client informs and consults aspiring online course creators in this first episode of a course guide series.
I assisted in script-writing and planning the video and client provided footage of 2 angles of them talking to the camera.
Despite the exciting subject matter, the real magic happens in the editing room. By meticulously synthesizing hours of footage into a cohesive and entertaining story, I maintain pace and keep viewers engaged. I believe one of the primary skills in editing is to transform seemingly unrelated parts into a seamless narrative, allowing viewers to get lost in the entertainment and fully immerse themselves in the experience.
