New Riverside UMC Bike in a Box
After hearing about the successful ministry happening at New Riverside UMC, I reached out, scheduled and conducted interviews, edited the video together to help tell their story and promote the ministry to other churches.

To promote the podcast I took clips from episodes, cropped for vertical viewing, added subtitles, and motion graphic tags to share on social media platforms such as Reels, YouTube Shorts, or Tik-Tok.

Video Podcast In Studio
I oversaw all set design, lighting, recording, editing, graphics and promotion. Each episode was released on all podcasting platforms as well as Facebook and YouTube.

Excerpt from a conference speech, edited and added subtitles to be featured vertically on Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Tik-Tok.

2024 Motion Graphics Reel
I put together some of my best motion graphics throughout my career using Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.

CTCYM 2019 Promo
In one week I traveled 1,533 miles, visited over 60 work sites, and interviewed around 100 young people, to put this video together. Not everyone’s interview made it in the final cut and I had more b-roll than I knew what to do with. This was used to promote the summer mission trip so other churches could join next year.

How do you make a video about a Podcast interesting? You gotta get creative with the edit, but I didn’t rely on the editing, I planned out my shots and transitions and which direction I was going with the camera so editing would be much easier.

Ashes To-Go
Ash Wednesday 2020 I visited 5 churches and interviewed pastors about their experiences serving ‘Ashes To-Go’ to their communities. I found the churches, conducted the interviews and handled every aspect of the production. (with the exception of 1 pastors interview)

A New Kind of Easter Egg Hunt
How one church is doing Easter differently during the Covid-19 pandemic. Completely produced by myself. I was lucky enough to still have Drone footage from this church’s previous Easter egg hunts on my hard drives.

The first video of a series featuring interviews from members of the church addressing how the church lives out their core values. I oversaw production and organization of when and where the interviews would be conducted, operated the cameras and assisted with lighting. I edited five videos total adding in a themed graphics package to be shown on consecutive weeks during church service.

Do Something Week 2016
Highlights from a week of mission work done in Arlington, TX. I conducted all preproduction organization, travel, interviews, b-roll, motion graphics and editing.

Highlights from a junior high mission trip to Corsicana, TX
I conducted all interviews, as well as shot, and edited the footage to be shown at the end of the trip.

Making videos is my passion. I've produced high-quality videos of weddings and live music performances, as well as commercials, promotional videos and a few short films. I am capable of handling end-to-end production by myself or work efficiently with a crew. When it comes to editing, I love being able to take what's been shot and cut it to tell the story as smoothly and coherently as possible.

This video features my best work interviewing people for various projects. Footage includes interview shots, as well as before and after examples showing raw video to the final product.
