    paper Synergis Software/Adept Experience (Highlights & Testimonial Content)

    For two consecutive years, I co-produced Synergis Software’s annual Adept Experience event media campaign. Each year, I created the event highlights video used to recap and promote the conference. I handled production end to end, shooting on-site, managing a second cinematographer, editing the final cut, and integrating motion graphics and branded elements to match Synergis’ visual identity.

    In addition to the highlights piece, I produced seven multi-camera customer testimonial videos featuring attendees and presenters ranging from specialists and project managers to senior directors. These interviews captured real-world outcomes and user perspectives and were edited into polished, brand-consistent deliverables. I also created strategic cutdowns from the testimonials for social media distribution and future event promotions, extending the lifespan and reach of the content beyond the conference itself.

    As part of the full event coverage package, our team also produced multi-cam recordings of 15 live sessions with integrated slide deck feeds, animations, and real-time computer demonstration captures, rounding out a comprehensive media archive for Synergis to use across marketing, training, and future event promotion.

    paper WCU Marching Band Hype Videos (LED SCOREBOARD CONTENT)

    A pair of high-energy hype videos were created for the West Chester University Incomparable Golden Rams Marching Band, designed to capture the spirit and excitement of one of the most dynamic collegiate bands in the region. Each piece was crafted to energize both the performers and the crowd, celebrating the Golden Rams’ tradition of excellence and showmanship.

    These videos play on the stadium’s brand-new LED scoreboard at every home football game, one setting the tone as the band takes the field for pre-game, and another driving the energy for halftime. The visuals, pacing, and music all work together to create an atmosphere of anticipation and pride, ensuring the audience feels the momentum long before the first note is played.

    Beyond game day, the videos serve as a powerful recruiting tool, drawing future members into the experience at university events and recruitment fairs. They showcase not only the band’s musical power but also its community, precision, and energy, an invitation to be part of something truly incomparable.

    All of the footage used in these videos was archival, though much of it originated from previous projects that I personally filmed with the band. By revisiting and reimagining this existing material, it was possible to craft something entirely new and visually engaging. The edit incorporated a range of effects, dynamic pacing, and motion graphics to inject fresh energy into familiar moments, transforming archival footage into a cinematic, stadium-ready experience that feels both timeless and electrifying.

    paper RocNation Sports Throne Boxing (Cinematography)

    In association with ESM, I served as Director of Photography for a media package supporting Roc Nation Sports’ Throne Boxing, the boxing series launched by Jay-Z that blended rising talent, established fighters, and live-music energy to elevate the sport’s presentation on FOX Sports 1 and BET.

    The first event, held January 9, 2015 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, featured Dusty “The Beltway Boriqua” Hernandez-Harrison vs. Tommy “The Razor” Rainone for the vacant WBC Continental Americas welterweight title, along with Tureano Johnson’s win over Alex Theran for the WBC Silver and International Middleweight Championships.

    My role centered on shooting a series of cinematic fighter introduction videos that set the tone for Roc Nation’s debut in boxing. Over four production days, the team traveled up and down the East Coast, filming at multiple training facilities in Maryland, New York, and beyond to capture Hernandez-Harrison, Rainone, and Dustin “The White Tiger” Fleischer in their authentic training environments. Each segment was crafted to highlight their intensity, discipline, and individual stories in a style that matched Roc Nation’s high-production brand.

    The “Tour de Throne,” as we lovingly called it, concluded in New York at the 40/40 Club, where we filmed the official weigh-in for Johnson and Theran and documented the atmosphere surrounding Roc Nation’s entry into the sport, including an appearance by the legendary Michael Buffer. The finished pieces helped define the visual identity of the Throne Boxing series and contributed to the event’s major-league presentation.

    paper Chesapeake Eye Care and Laser Center (Ad Campaign)

    A series of 30-second commercial ads were produced for Chesapeake Eye Care and Laser Center in Annapolis, MD, a practice of Vision Innovation Partners and the official sponsor of the Annapolis Blues, a soccer club in the National Premier Soccer League. The goal was to create high-quality video spots for display on the stadium’s jumbotron during pre-game, half-time, and post-game segments. These commercials aimed to both highlight the center’s expert services and strengthen their brand presence within the local sports community.

    Production took place over a full day on location at Chesapeake Eye Care and Laser Center, capturing footage of their skilled surgeons and board-certified specialists in action. Since many of the doctors were new to being on camera, a teleprompter with pre-loaded scripts helped make the process comfortable and efficient. This approach led to confident, natural performances, some of the physicians even seemed to enjoy their time in front of the camera.

    Alongside interviews and testimonials, extensive b-roll was captured throughout the facility, ranging from routine eye exams to advanced laser treatments. The resulting visuals showcased both the cutting-edge technology and compassionate care that define Chesapeake Eye Care. By blending authentic, behind-the-scenes moments with professional imagery, the final edits struck a balance between being informative and engaging.

    This project served as a rewarding opportunity to create polished, audience-focused content that helps businesses tell their story in meaningful and memorable ways.

    paper NAPA Auto Parts: Heavy Duty Solutions (Product Video)

    This project combined live-action footage, product text, and still imagery to create a bold, rugged aesthetic designed to resonate with heavy-duty audiences. The motion graphics–driven video showcased an overview of NAPA Heavy Duty Solutions, highlighting new product categories, featured HD replacement parts, and expanded fleet coverage.

    The piece was designed to function as a “motion catalog,” looping continuously in NAPA garage waiting rooms across the country. Its purpose was to inform and engage customers in an appealing, digestible way, turning downtime into an opportunity to explore available products. The combination of bold visuals, impactful text, and steady motion created a dynamic presentation that balanced strength and clarity while aligning with the NAPA Heavy Duty brand and its hardworking audience.

    paper Draken International (Branded Documentary)

    Every so often, a truly unique project comes along with a story worth telling and this one was no exception. To celebrate Draken International’s 10-year anniversary, a 20-minute documentary was produced and premiered in Las Vegas in the spring of 2019.

    Draken International provides tactical fighter aircraft for contract air services to military and defense clients. They’re essentially the modern-day “Top Gun,” playing the role of the “adversaries” in training exercises with U.S. and allied forces.

    Production took place over several days at multiple locations, including Draken’s headquarters at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Florida, Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, and Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania. Once the primary footage was complete, the flight crew was interviewed inside a hangar to capture their perspectives and experiences. Along the way, there was no shortage of incredible aircraft, impressive technology, and outstanding people.

    The finished film quickly became the most-watched project to date, earning more than 160,000 views and continuing to reach aviation and defense enthusiasts around the world.

    paper Deadmau5 x Tait (BTS ENG Cinematography)

    I led a video crew to capture the behind-the-scenes build of Deadmau5’s Cube 2.1 at TAIT Towers in Lititz, PA. Over three days, we documented the construction of what became one of the most innovative DJ stands ever created, a fully dynamic structure of moving LED panels that evolved with the music and visuals, representing a major leap in live electronic performance design.

    Our team filmed the build process, highlighting the technical engineering, creative design, and collaboration required to bring the Cube to life. We also shot interviews with TAIT’s designers, engineers, and creative leads, along with members of the Deadmau5 team, including Mau5trap, Three Six Zero, and Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5) himself.

    I organized, managed, and delivered all production-ready raw footage to the client. The material was later used in a multi-video YouTube series promoting the launch of the Cube 2.1 and Deadmau5’s first tour in five years.

    paper Nicki Minaj: Live in Brooklyn (BTS ENG Cinematography)

    As lead ENG cinematographer for BET’s Nicki Minaj: The Pinkprint Tour special, I assembled and led a six-person behind-the-scenes crew over two days at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. With the help of our talented associates at ESM, I helped coordinate three two-person mobile production teams, each made up of a cinematographer and an audio boom recordist, to capture behind-the-scenes content happening simultaneously throughout the arena. One team focused on fan interactions outside the venue, recording informal interviews and gathering exterior b-roll of the arena and city. A second team captured backstage production moments, sound check, dancers, band, and mid-show behind-the-scenes footage. I operated as the cinematographer on the primary team, following Nicki Minaj throughout her day and filming candid moments before, during, and after the show, including the dressing-room interview that opens the program.

    After production wrapped, I also handled the organization, archiving and delivery prep for all b-roll footage. The material my team captured was edited by BET and became the program’s intro and outro and the bumpers leading into commercial breaks for the full 90-minute special that aired on BET on Valentine’s Day 2017.

    paper The Baldwin School (Philanthropy & Recruiting Series)

    produced two complementary films designed to support enrollment, advancement, and brand storytelling. Working as producer, director of photography, and editor, I led the creative from planning through final delivery, capturing both scripted moments and documentary-style real life detail across campus.

    The athletics piece is a high-energy recruitment and admissions film built to capture the strength, intensity, and spirit of Baldwin sports. We filmed short, punchy scenes across a wide range of programs, including tennis, squash, soccer, field hockey, softball, basketball, swimming, and training sessions, along with trophy displays and landmark athletic spaces that connect the school’s history to its modern culture. Student voiceover provides the through-line, pairing with kinetic visuals and tight pacing to create an immediate sense of pride and momentum.

    “100% Baldwin” is a cinematic philanthropy film created for advancement, celebrating perseverance, creativity, and leadership across academics, athletics, and the arts. Told through intimate, student-narrated vignettes, it follows five girls as they navigate moments of challenge and push forward with support and self-belief. The film spans everything from pre-dawn swim practices to collaborative classroom work and creative breakthroughs in studios and performance spaces, emphasizing the process behind growth rather than just outcomes.

    Together, these projects show Baldwin through two lenses: a fast-paced, social-ready recruitment tone and a more emotionally resonant, narrative-driven fundraising story—both grounded in authentic student voice, cinematic craft, and a cohesive visual approach.

    paper Dorman SpecFit Chassis Engineering (Marketing Video)

    Dorman Products commissioned a short-form promotional video spotlighting its SpecFit Chassis Engineering program, designed to show how their team uses 3D scanning and modeling to create direct-fit replacement parts with OEM-level precision. Shot on-location in Colmar, PA, the piece blends clean, technical process coverage (scanning, CAD, hands-on engineering) with cinematic tabletop and beauty shots that emphasize craftsmanship and product quality.

    I handled the production end-to-end from translating a detailed brief into a shoot plan through post, building a polished cut with tight pacing, branded motion/typographic overlays, and strong visual rhythm. To support Dorman’s international audience, we also delivered three language versions (English, French, Spanish) by coordinating translation and professional VO to keep messaging consistent across regions.

    paper Mastercard "Sell-It" Challenge (Internal Training Campaign)

    In collaboration with Corporate Visions, I produced a multi-format internal training campaign for Mastercard’s global sales organization, combining motion design, live-action modules, and scenario-based learning into a cohesive program deployed across Mastercard’s learning ecosystem. Built as a modular system, the content supported internal communications, facilitator-led workshops, and on-demand reinforcement for teams worldwide.

    Filmed on-location at Mastercard HQ in Purchase, NY, the series was structured as a repeatable training framework: an anchor motion-graphics launch overview, a “Right Way, Wrong Way” coaching piece featuring a spokeswoman on green screen with composited environments and animated overlays, and multiple “Customer Scenario” role-play modules designed for both live facilitation and self-guided learning.

    To reinforce learning at scale, we also created thirteen “Voicemail Scenario” microlearning modules, fully animated and voice-driven, with talent from multiple regions to support localization and global relatability. The result was a scalable, cross-platform training ecosystem that unified brand, instruction, and practice into a consistent learning experience.

    paper "Road to the Roses" (Branded documentary)

    For West Chester University’s Road to the Roses film, I developed and executed a cross-platform release campaign designed to build anticipation, drive attendance to a live premiere, and extend engagement after launch. The film premiered as a livestream event and later lived on YouTube as the hero asset, supported by a coordinated rollout of short-form video and graphic content across social channels.

    To generate momentum ahead of the premiere, I produced three 60-second promo videos with distinct creative goals: one performance-driven, one story-driven, and one donor-focused “thank you” piece designed to build emotional connection and recognize supporters. I also created a series of static teaser graphics pulled from the donor promo video, pairing key stills from the film with headline-style messaging to increase awareness of the livestream event and reinforce the campaign narrative. In addition, I produced a one-minute trailer to broaden reach and drive anticipation.

    Beyond digital rollout, I designed a full-size movie poster used as a donor gift at select fundraising tiers, extending the campaign into physical brand touchpoints and strengthening supporter engagement. The result was a cohesive, multi-format launch system that aligned storytelling, design, and distribution across livestream, YouTube, and social platforms.
