Pregnancy Announcement Video

Well, the news is out! My wife is pregnant with our first child. I decided to use my video production skills in support of our family. I created this video for family memories and to announce our pregnancy to the world. It was well received by both of our families.

If you watch to the end there are two other videos you can click on and watch as well. One is our first ultrasound and the other explains how we came to the decision to have a baby at this time in our lives.

A Music Video In A Parade!

This was a fun video to work on. I was credited as director on this piece, which was technically my title. However, I feel more like I acted as a producer. I assembled the team together. I oversaw the details for the two Saturday shoots. I got a few Director of Photography's to help me out. Jackson Daneluk was one of them. He's going to film school right now and did a great job!

You could also call my position a parade manager. I oversaw the creation of the signs for the parade. I purchased the balloons, ribbons, fabric, shirts, etc. I also managed two other parades which we also did videos for. Finally, I did rough cut edits of all the parade videos before handing them off the Lucas McGraw to polish up. So, was I really the director? I think I was more of a producer or manager. Did I have a blast? Did I learn a lot? Did I have fun? Absolutely! 

First Time Doing Color Correction

I had the great opportunity to be the final editor and color corrector on a music video for the LDS Youth website. I took a cut that another editor had done and polished it up and made it shine. I also did the color correction. Click here to see the video.

Music Video - Community Film Project

I had the great opportunity to work on this music video for The Community Film Project. Yes, that is me playing the piano in this video. I did the original arrangement of the song in Garage Band. After that Phil Stokes took the song and really made it shine! It was fun to be a part of this.

Filmmaking Workshops In Davis County

I am part of a team that is creating a community film in Davis County. I am very excited for this project. However, before we really begin, we need to have a group of people who are committed to the task of making a movie. We also need this group to know the basics of movie making. So, The Community Film Project is officially offering filmmaking workshops. These workshops have already started, but it is not too late to join! Click here to find out more.

The workshops will include guest speakers who are professionals in their fields. A man who has worked in Hollywood for years is speaking to us this week. He has worked on Prince of Egypt, Holes, Lars and the Real Girl, and so many more movies. In the future we will have the director of Meet the Mormons come and speak to us as well.

Also, don't tell anyone I told you this, but the first workshop you come to is free. You can come and check it out to see if you're interested and if you're not, you do not owe the Community Film Project anything.

Finally, all the money that is generated is going directly into the creation of Davis County's first community film!

Can you guess my photography final?

The following are pictures I took for my photography final this semester. Can you guess the subject I chose for my final?

It was very fun and very helpful to really learn how to use my DSLR camera. It was also fun to enhance my skills in Photoshop. I think this will come in very handy in my career.

Editing Texting

There are a lot of fun youth video projects coming out this year for the LDS Church. I've had the great opportunity this year to come up with several new ideas, help with the scripting, and do editing.

I had the great opportunity to be the main editor on this video. I also coordinated the shoots and I was actually able to shoot a couple of the cell phone shots at the end. Finally, I composed the music at the first seventeen of seconds and the last twenty-four seconds. I did not do the music in the middle.
