May 2026: Pop Culture Generic Ad Slate
A+E GLOBAL MEDIA
This generic ad slate is designed to fill in a variety of A+E FAST channels when no advertisement breaks are available.
Made entirely by nesting stock footage, it succeeds at being a mesmerizing pause from programming, keeping viewers in place.
Full disclosure, in this director's cut, I've put back in my temp music, type design and a few shots I really liked. To see the final version just tune in to an A+E FAST channel focused on Pop Culture and wait for a slow ad day.

April 2025: Wellness Ways - Chromotherapy
LIFETIME NETWORKS
Wellness Ways is an on-air campaign across A+E networks to help people understand concepts about self improvement.
When I was asked to create a segment about color therapy from the ground up, I was excited. It was an amazing opportunity and a lot of fun to make.

June 2025: A&E Crime 360 - F.A.S.T. Channel Ad Break
A&E GLOBAL MEDIA
Part of designing F.A.S.T. channels for the broader market is creating content when no commercials are booked. The breaks still continue. This content can be anything from a clock in the center of the screen for two minutes, or something incredibly elaborate. May I present the latter?
This 3d logo fly through with crime vignettes is incredibly easy to watch for two minutes and keeps viewers on the channel.

Nov-Dec/2024: Deadlocked: Dad of the Dead
SNOW STORY PRODUCTIONS
I was originally brought on to this indie zombie flick to create VFX and took on the Main Titles and thumbnail art as well. Only sharing a few clips here as I don't want my site flagged by Google for gore 😅.
This was a great project for me where I was able to flex VFX, Motion Design, Color Grading, Conform, and even some editorial in the opening sequence. Available for viewing on Amazon and YouTube.
Copperline Creative - Production Logo
COPPERLINE CREATIVE
During post-production on their feature film American Insurrection, I was asked by the director and editor for my help on VFX.
Afterward, I was happy when asked if I could make their production logo for the top of the film. I always love these vanity plates and understand their importance as the first thing the audience sees.
I was only provided a vector file of their logo, but I introduced some 3d and gorgeous stylized lens flares.
All parties happy on the first pass. No notes! 🤯
Jan-June/2024: PlutoTV Digital Out of Home
PLUTO TV
I was brought over to the Pluto TV team to take some amazing animations created by the design company GRETEL, and expand them into an entire massive launch campaign.
I became completely immersed in the Pluto TV brand and provided marketing materials on all platforms.
We showed up everywhere; The Superbowl grounds, in-app, on- air campaigns across Paramount channels, and enormous out-of-home displays blanketing major cities.
The launch was a huge success and I really enjoyed designing and delivering the more complicated urban OOH displays.
