Since graduating from film school quite a while back, I’ve had experience working on productions of all sizes. Most recently I pioneered a video program for the Film Society of Lincoln Center that entailed pieces that brought the organization’s history to life and reinvigorated programs for the future, as well as TV spots and even bespoke creations for outdoor digital signage for major events.
As we move into a more digital way of making and telling stories, my specialty is using video to help organizations and individuals add a richer dimension to the way they present themselves online.
Technically speaking I have done (and can do) it all, from shooting on everything from a Flip Cam to a DSLR rig, editing in Final Cut or Premiere and creating animated titles in After Effects.
Here’s a few examples of recent video work (and the role I played in it):
Bringing an Organization’s History to Life:
For this video meant to celebrate the many decades long history of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and bring it together with the opening of a new film center meant to represent the organization’s future, I crafted this video trailer with the help of graphic animator extraordinaire Hiroshi Kumatani.
A new digital face for a Storied Festival
In 2010, I embarked upon an ambitious undertaking to give New Directors/New Films its own stand-alone destination on the web. As part of this initiative, I also wanted to go behind the scenes and capture a dynamic representation of what the festival is all about.
For this video, I conducted the interviews, worked in the editing room and created the title graphics.
Raising the profile of an event through a television spot
I created this TV spot for the New York Jewish Film Festival.
Creating an educational resource for nonprofit bootstrappers
I edited and created the motion graphics for this video.
