Not only do commercial projects pay the bills, but they do allow for a certain amount of creativity and plain old fun. The videos below are some of my favorite projets I've worked on.

LEONESSE CELLARS
Produced over a period of two months (five actual shooting days and one night) this ten minute presentation was created for VIP's visiting the winery. The goal was to create the video with a cinematic/documentary like approach.

THE ROAD AHEAD PROMO
Produced while working with STUDIO DEMIURGE, this short promo/viral was created for the indie film THE ROAD AHEAD(Western Front Pictures). The goal was to give the illusion of a production gone bad due to poorly chosen talent.

DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL MUSIC VIDEO
In all reality, this project was an exercise in pure speed! As part of a MySpace competition, we developed the concept on a Thursday afternoon, cast the parts on Friday, shot on Saturday and completed the editing/post on Sunday.
