 THE MURDER MYSTERY COMPANY (2009)
INTEGRATED WEBSITE ADVERTISING
Working together with The Murder Mystery Company's owner, director, and actor Scott Cramton, we were able to come up with a unique web video to promote the style of humor the Michigan-based improv troupe does best. We also shot pieces for a trailer that has been seen by thousands of corporate clients all over the mid-west. |

LAUREL PARK ASSISTED LIVING (2009)
INTERNET COMMERCIAL
This TurnHere spot had me shooting hilarious and adorable elderly people at Laurel Park Assisted Living. I was able to grab some very natural moments of the tennants enjoying the facility - it's just a shame it had to be cut down to only 30 seconds! Many wonderful moments just couldn't make the cut. |
 |
DIMITRIOU LAW OFFICES (2009)
INTERNET COMMERCIAL
Another solid 30-second web spot shot and edited for TurnHere. This video was unique in that I had to, somehow, make a very plain, very ordinary law office look like a high-profile place you'd trust with your case. Turns out cutaways are the key! TurnHere execs really enjoyed this one. |

GR FERTILITY (2009)
INTERNET COMMERCIAL
One of several 30-second web spots shot and edited for TurnHere, a large-scale producer of web-based advertising for small businesses. I was in and out of the location in an hour and snagged enough footage to drown in! |

THE HAUNT (2008)
INTERNET COMMERCIAL
Grand Rapids' largest haunted attraction, The Haunt, contracted me to direct a terrifying trailer for their new outdoor maze - The Dark Maze. Starring Alicia Clarke and Scott Watson, this homage to 80's horror (complete with synthesized music and chainsaw-weilding maniacs!) was successful at drawing in thousands of people into The Dark Maze. |

DAYMON WORLDWIDE (2009)
INTERNAL INDUSTRIAL VIDEOS
ROLE: EDITOR, CAMERA OPERATOR, GAFFER
This unique gig landed me in with the marketing professionals at Daymon Worldwide, helping them create some fun, casual, and extremely creative presentations. They brought the scripts and props, I broght the camera and lights, and with the help of Collective Studios' Rick Reed, edited some pretty entertaining videos for what they are.

OPEN WINDOW at OPEN CONCEPT GALLERY (2007-2008)
VIDEO WALL INSTALLATION
The innovative street video art gallery "Open Window" was engineered by myself to be part of Open Concept Gallery, a contemporary art gallery downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. The six street-level monitors showcase video art and experimental film from all over the world, while also serving as a video billboard for Open Concept Gallery's events and as advertizing space for local businesses. |

BFE BAR AND GRILLE (2006)
TV COMMERCIAL
Allendale Michigan's favorite hole-in-the-wall bar had me produce, shoot, and edit a new TV spot for them. They were operating under a very strict budget, but even with those contraints I was able to cut together an energetic video making the bar look its absolute best. |

Hard rock band Whelm asked me to produce a press kit with enough content and entertainment packed within its case to double as a DVD that could be sold to their fans. The result was a DVD with a 3-camera shoot of a live show, a "behind the music" documentary, interviews with the band, and booking information. |

BUCKEYE BOB AND THE GHOSTS OF OHIO'S PAST (2004)
VIDEO SUPPLEMENT FOR LIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Part of one of Mobile Ed Production's live educational shows, this production was something extremely unique. The live show featured an actor (Buckeye Bob) who interacted with this video shown on a rear-projector screen. The video contains maps, images, and actors playing "ghosts of Ohio's" past who have conversations with Bob and help him fulfill Ohio's 4th grade history requirement. |

MOTOR MOMS (2004)
EDUCATIONAL VIDEO SYSTEM

PROMOTIONAL DVD
One of my first commercial video projects, slight of hand magician Rudy TwoMoon's promo includes a two-camera shoot of a live performance plus an intro featuring Rudy infront of a chromakey background.
