IT'S ABOUT YOU

John Mellencamp asked my dad and me to film his baseball field tour, which traveled alongside Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. With no traditional crew, we followed the tour for more than six weeks while John recorded No Better Than This in historic locations across the country. What began as a small two-person project grew into nearly two years of filming and editing, ultimately becoming It’s About You.

SALT OPTICS

After the release of It’s About You, my dad and I were hired to do a shoot for Salt Optics. He photographed the models while I filmed them. As each model finished on his set, they’d step over to mine, and I’d capture them moving from camera right to camera left as we talked. That shoot gave me the confidence to move to Seattle and begin working as a freelance videographer.

SWEET PEA FESTIVAL - BEER & WINE GARDEN

A light and minimal animation created for the Sweet Pea Festival in Bozeman, highlighting the relaxed atmosphere of the beer and wine garden. The simple line work and subtle motion set an easy summer tone, and the final wine stain reveals a hidden Sweet Pea Festival logo at the end of the clip.

MOTION EXPERIMENTS

These are a few short motion pieces I made for fun in After Effects. One plays with Meow Wolf’s coyote mascot in a shifting geometric world. Another is a loud black and white optical art spot for an imagined show at Site Santa Fe. The last one is my take on an opening for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, complete with made up production company logos and a bold black and red palette. They were a chance to mess around with timing, type, and illustration and see how far I could push the style.
