Scooba Designs offered a $500 prize and all of the bags shown for free to whomever could make the best promotional video, and I won! All of the video and animations were created by me. Recorded with a Canon GL1 and animated in Adobe After Effects. The actors were gifted the bags as payment for their work, as well as the original music.

In 2015 CarGurus was attempting to get their video offerings off the ground and into a professional quality level. I produced this video in a couple of days and while the client was excited by the final version, they attempted to negotiate a lower price after the work was done. We were not able to come to an agreement and in the end I opted to not sell them the video.

I attended a Holiday Party hosted by my friend and Rochester based Artist, Mark Groneing. At that party I met Greg Winters who was in charge of the Laser Light Show at High Falls in Rochester, NY. We discussed video and animation and Greg asked if I could create an animation using the song, "Please Don't Stop The Music" by Rihanna. Each frame was hand drawn and then exported as black and white images which were then processed and converted by the laser software. The final "image" was projected onto the rock wall in the High Falls basin at approximately 100 feet tall. I used a combination of rotoscope and keyframing to create the animation. Fun Fact: A good portion of the animation was done while I was on a motorcycle trip down the East Coast.

While attending SUNY Brockport, Professor Carvin Eison proposed a competition to create a commercial for the school and I won!

This was a fun package I recorded and edited for Lapp Insulators in LeRoy, NY. Everything was recorded and edited by me.

This is a video that I produced while interning for PBS station WXXI in Rochester, NY. Unfortunately, this is the only VHS tape from this project that survived a flood at my parents home.

In 2007 I was working for the Rochester Rotary Sunshine campus. I created this animated intro for their weekly video series.

Experimenting with phenomes and AfterEffects using a single comp and hold frames. Each phenome is associated with a frame in the comp so each syllable in the speech can be translated to a number and then copy and pasted to keyframes. Thus animating by tablature or like a player piano.

These flowers were a gift from my friend Erica. For fun I recorded this timelapse of them opening and closing. The song is "Les Fleurs" by Ramsey Lewis.

I created this animated video as a demonstration for my students while working for IDTech Camps. The goal was to show them that you didn't need a lot of fancy equipment to tell a story.

A "Making Of" video for the holiday cards Megan and I sent in 2017 using my AxiDraw machine. Megan designed the card and I created it in Inkscape. (She assembled them and did a much better job than I did in the video :)

I recorded this video for the Rochester Rotary to be used at their annual meeting and in support of the Sunshine Campus. I worked for the Rotary Sunshine Campus and was happy to lend them my support to create this video.

This is a stop motion video I produced to act as the background for title slides in a Merck eLearning course. Images of the rig I built can be seen in my Behind The Scenes gallery.

This was an assignment for a college class, the challenge was to use a piece of "found audio" and create our own images. The other challenge was to make the the video a "oner" meaning one single shot. I built a PVC "steady cam" that allowed the camera to float a few inches from the ground.

This was a video I created for a class project, the objective was to use "found video" in an absurd or humorous way.
