Video and Motion Graphics

As much as i appreciate being well-versed in both design and video, I must admit that nothing feels better than completing a video edit. My first job out of school was as a video production manager and as they say, you never forget your first.

I can't recall producing a video that didn't involve a combination of Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects. Graphics are essential to telling the story. I have experience in a wide range of video methods: documenting internal events, interviewing customers and clients, charity events, onsite events production, and motion graphics work.

Core values are a very important part of the culture at Evolve. The CEO came to me with an idea for a long form video centered around members of senior management discussing each of the 14 core values. I knew this would end up being too long so I proposed we have each manager pick 3 of the values and each individual value will get it's own 60-120 second video. The end result was 14 videos, as well as an overview video of the series.

A former co-worker has had a very successful career in media and his current position is Executive Producer for the Jenny McCarthy show on Sirius XM Satellite radio. Jenny needed a last minute video cut together. By last minute, I mean within 24 hours. She sent raw footage and I was tasked with editing together and adding effects. This is a sampling of the 5:43 piece.

This piece is an overview of the services and technologies offered by a former television station in Philadelphia. It was the nation's first 24/7 Traffic Network. The piece was assembled using a combination of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro and was done in about 3 days. I don't if I mentioned yet that I am a fire drill expert. I'd estimate about 75% of my professional work has been done with extreme time constraints. No complaints here because I always deliver.

This four-minute feature for the Sony Pictures feature film "The Mighty Macs" was produced as part of an EPK promotional kit that was sent to major news networks and worldwide media outlets. This was a VERY exciting project for me and I love how it turned out. I was basically given 40+ minutes of random interviews and told to make something of it in a relatively short amount of time.

Every holiday season, the CEO wants a video Christmas card to share with his friends and colleagues. I'm responsible for coming up with a unique theme each year. I am intricately involved with documenting our Evolve Cares philanthropy program so this particular card was centered around Evolve's philanthropic efforts and footage from events throughout the year.
