My Resume if you are interested...

I have been meaning to blog...

Hello everybody.

Let me just start by saying how sorry I have been for not posting in awhile. It has been a very busy 6 months to say the least. As the holidays approach I feel the need to blog more and bring some insight to production. I will try to start blogging more about being on set, and giving some behind the scenes photos.  I will also be posting more video and design work. Until then, have a safe and wonderful holiday. Talk to you soon.

Show Poster Design for The Lantern Effect 6/24/2011 - 001

A design mock-up for an upcoming "Lantern Effect" show at Halftime Bar & Grill in Johnsburg, IL. Leave your comments, let me know what you think. The design is inspired by a tutorial for a boxing poster. I copied a lot of the layout elements, for balance, but the main event was changed up. I also kept the color scheme because I liked the look.

Blizzard of 2011

This is a piece I did, just as the snow began to fall in Chicago, in the biggest snow storm to hit the city in over 10 years. I shot this on my Sony HD Bloggie, at 60fps, then edited it with Adobe Premiere. It has little to no color correction, as i wanted to post it ASAP, while the storm was occurring.

I intend to revisit this in the near future to do some editing experiments with it.
