Filming / Producing / Editing / Directing / Sound Design & Mixing / Digital Shorts / Photography
Content Creation – A major part of my previous jobs have been to create content for distribution. All of which were for broadcast television, B2C and B2B. For the 3 videos below I was the producer, shooter, editor and director. The only piece of gear I had to use on these shoots was a Sony a6500.
**SOUND DESIGN SAMPLE BELOW – “SPICEOLOGY X NEW BELGIUM” and “DEREK WOLF BEER CANS” Videos**
Personal & Music Content – My band EGR was my outlet before Covid, so I’ve produced, shot, edited and directed many videos for us over the years (one is shown below). I also produced, mixed and mastered the track as well. With the lack of opportunities to perform live music during Covid, I needed an other creative outlet, so I started a YouTube Channel talking about gear and music. I’ve since become a YouTube Partner in that time and have a handful of great partnerships with some fantastic brands. Below is a #Short and a full length review from my personal YT channel.
Photography – Below are some pieces of work I shot at Spiceololgy. One of the main components of my job was to do lifestyle and product shots for digital distribution. During my time at Spiceology I shot and edited thousands of photo assets that have been used on all our marketing material and featured on sites such as Forbes, CNN, BuzzFeed, Bon Appetit and many others. Most any non UGC photography seen from Spiceology from late 2018 though late 2022 was probably my work.
Composing / Songwriting / Producing / Engineering / Sound Design
Adrenaline Sucks – I wrote, performed, engineered, mixed and mastered all of the original music for this film to be shown at the Banff Film Festival. I was a relatively late add to the project and was given a rough cut to start my first pass of writing about 6 weeks before deadline. I then had about 2 weeks with the final cut for finalizing songs, mixing and mastering. *Please note, I did not mix sound on the video below – I can share high-res song files upon request*
DC StarGirl – This is a piece I did for a composing competition last year. The selected scene was from DC StarGirl. I had about 6 hours to write, perform, engineer, mix and master the tracks.
Wedding Scores – As a gift to a lot of my friends, I’ll film and edit their wedding video along with writing an original piece of music for them. Below is an example of one of the videos.
Original Music – I’ve been lucky enough to have found some decent success with online streaming for my original music and my bands music. Between the 2 projects I’ve garnered approximately 5 million streams. I am the songwriter for all of the music and about 50% owner of any lyrics heard. Below is a music video I shot, produced, edited and directed for my band. The other video is a graphic video I have for one of my latest releases. You can listen to my original music HERE or my bands music HERE. My full discography can be viewed HERE. The 3rd video below is from a new project I’ve started. I produced and engineered the album in my personal studio and co-wrote all the songs.
Live Television Director / Content Specialist
KXLY-TV – From age 18 to 31, I worked as a live television director at KXLY-TV in Spokane, WA. I spent stints on the AM Morning Show, the 11pm News, but most of my time was spend on the 5pm newscast. A large part of my time was spend being the Production Manager of a crew 20+ over the 13 years. In my free time I also shot special projects to create new digital revenue streams for the station. Below is an example of a newscast I directed and a special projects video I shot, edited, produced and directed.
