Content Formula

YouTube Collaborative Creation & Edit

As an educator and filmmaker, I understand how to strike the perfect balance between entertainment and learning.

Drew from Playing With Sticks reached out to me for this special video project, and together, we crafted a video tailored to his audience, style, and marketing needs. We made sure it fit seamlessly into his email list and even mine.

In this video, you’ll find the result of our first collaboration – a video that combines entertainment and education in a unique way. Let’s dive into the world of collaborative creativity and strategic marketing for an unforgettable viewing experience that gets views.

Documentary Story Telling & Marketing


No matter if it’s an unboxing video, podcast, product video, commercial, vlog, or reel, the story is what makes it special. These stories are usually based on real facts, just like a mini-documentary.

Whether I’m working on a Vlog-Style piece for a business or my own feature-length documentary (published by Amazon in 2011), storytelling is always the main focus. I believe that sharing captivating stories is what makes content truly meaningful and engaging.

Stills From Bigger Projects

My experience as a professional photographer, specializing in still photography for websites, press releases, and print media means I can provide expert guidance to create captivating visuals that enhance your online presence and promotional materials.

Creative Business

Practical Effects and Video Production

The Falling Up band asked me to shoot and produce their last music video for their last album as a band. 

I had total creative license for this project and used no computerized effects for a more organic feel.

Role: Director of Photography, Practical Effects, Sound Design and Mastering

SFX (Computer Special Effects)

The Power of the Dubside – For a few years, I was an instructor for Adobe.  An instructional piece for Adobe Inc to train teachers and professionals on how to use Adobe products.  It blends practical light leak effects with CGI lighting (composed in After Effects).

Role: Director, SFX, Darth Vader Dancer

“Fallacy” by Gumshen – This project was sent as a rescue project as the shoot didn’t go as they’d hoped.  They asked me to edit and we saved it enough for their album launch with over 1/4 Million views on YouTube.  We followed the video up with a comprehensive press release, interviews, and email sequence.

Role: Editor & Special Effects

“Circadian” by Falling Up – A music video for a Kickstarter & email marketing fundraiser for the band Falling Up.  The band wanted a live music video of this song.  All audio and video is all live shot in one take during a concert.  They also wanted it to look like many of their early 2000s videos with a lot of throwback and easter egg references.

The fundraising campaign grossed $104,000 in 5 days and the video was viewed over 200,000 times in the first week.

Role: Director, Editor, Producer, Special Effects
