For this music video, I wanted to revisit a past concept from a Collective Soul video that I made and combine it with a really cool technique I saw from a video called “Light Works”. Continue Reading →
This project was the first time I got to work closely with the new Red Epic camera. Many people give it flack for not being 100% professional, but I think they’ve sold me on the dynamic range, size, resolution, and affordability. Continue Reading →
Every year DTS creates a promotional video for CES in Las Vegas. This year, the commercial production company I’m with wanted to do something different. They wanted to make something that people would replay, something that would stimulate people’s minds when they view it on their computer screen. Continue Reading →
I liked the idea of this short story called “The Most Dangerous Game” so I adapted it back when I was in film school, but when I made it back then I didn’t have many people to help me make it so it didn’t turn out too great. After being in the industry and living in LA for a few years now, I got a chance to make new friends and really take advantage of their professional talents. Continue Reading →
**Kina Grannis, the girl behind that “Gotta Digg” video in 2008 got signed to Interscope but left the major label scene prematurely. She brought her fans with her and released an independent album in February 2010.** Continue Reading →
For this video, I pulled out every time lapse, stop motion and live action camera trick that I could think of. It took me about 2 weeks. The goal was to create a fresh, new direction to take my work to. The Eclectic Series has fared well, but that was all in the past. It’s time to look ahead. Continue Reading →

What if, tomorrow, everyone’s car disappeared?
I live in Los Angeles. I drive in Los Angeles. I think about traffic a lot in Los Angeles. A few months ago, I discovered Matt Logue’s Empty LA photographs. I didn’t think much about it at the time, but every time I was stuck in Continue Reading →rush hour all-hour traffic, I found myself thinking, “What if tomorrow everyone’s car disappeared?”
Back when we released Kina Grannis’ music video in February 2010, Clara tweeted at me talking about how much she loved it. That’s what initially piqued my interest in her work. What I liked about her Youtube page was that a lot of her songs weren’t just her standing in front of her webcam — they were little amateur music videos. Continue Reading →
I had known about AJ’s music for about 6 months prior to working with him on this video. I really enjoyed his music as it really reminded me of John Legend in a way and I was really honored and excited to work with him on a video so personal. Continue Reading →
The people over at Disney Consumer Products were looking to do something different and new with their Back to School campaign this year. Last year they held a fashion show and video taped the event. Continue Reading →
I took about 15,000 still photos and strung them together to give the illusion of motion. If you’re still curious I made a video that shows how the time lapse process works. Continue Reading →
The entire movie was shot using a digital SLR still camera and pieced together using Quicktime Pro and Final cut Pro. Since it was shot on a still camera, all the raw footage is 1080p HD. People always ask me how much time I spent shooting or how I made the time lapses. Well, check out The Making of Eclectic 2.0 in case you’re curious about that. Continue Reading →
