This year we had to innovate and capture content remotely… We built out a custom animated environment that both made the piece more engaging and helped elevate the lower quality footage of the laptop and cell phone cameras.

I'll be leading the Foundations of Video Storytelling course for the Communication Leadership graduate program at the University of Washington this Autumn quarter!

If you’re interested in video marketing but the technical side isn’t your forte, this is a great listen for you!

All in all, I probably spent around $150 to create the portable battery bay and it’s been a game changer!

Visual storytelling is really just creative problem solving - we are faced with a situation and have to find the best way to convey information to the audience.

I’ve consumed thousands of podcasts while commuting or walking my dog but until now I had never been on a podcast!

I had A LOT of client work lined up as 2021 was kicking off and I saw the guaranteed work as an opportunity to expand the team!

Seattle, I’m coming home!

With COVID-19 altering what’s possible in terms of production, I’ve been forced to truly think outside of the box for how I help my clients tell compelling stories.

I moved to a new city, networked at every possible opportunity, and documented the entire process for a year.

By being so organized in pre-production, we were able to drastically cut down on time spent filming and editing for the EarthCorps project which ultimately led to a more affordable video solution for the organization.

I cut my financial gains in half and set out to create something high level for my portfolio and it really paid off.

Organizations are almost exclusively turning to small and efficient video production teams to execute what would otherwise be impossible given the health risks involved with large crews.

I may not be a first responder but I am a storyteller. Here is my message of hope.

My tips and tricks for capturing remote content!

Within one week of Seattle getting its first case of COVID-19, I had clients cancel $19,200 worth of production.

69% of viewers don’t use audio when viewing video content. Don’t let your content get left behind - here are 3 easy ways to make sure your content stands out!

I struggle with the question of, “how much of an impact can I really make working on a feature length?”

One of my 2020 goals is to direct 4 commercials, so the fact that I’d direct my first commercial in the first week of the new year was pretty enticing.

I had way more fun than I was anticipating and the audience was super interactive! We had roughly 40 attendees; some were industry professionals and others were just getting started on their filmmaking journeys.
