My Production Expertise

The following are areas I excel in with over 10,000 hours in the field.

Pre Production

After the initial concept pitch and scope of the project, I then outline the budget, deadline, and understanding of the audience and where the project will live. Then comes scriptwriting, storyboarding, conceptualization, and development of visual pitches, mood boards, and tone boards. Ultimately with a sign-off of approval.

Production

Working closely with my team of actors, interviewees, and talented crew members. As a director, I guide the creative aspects, ensuring the project aligns with our vision. Collaboration is key during this phase, and it's where I see the script and storyboards come to life in a dynamic and exciting way.

Post Production

Securely offloading and backing up our valuable footage, create proxies and dailies to simplify the editing process. Ultimately cutting together the first initial rough draft. After extensive notes and feedback, then transition into polishing including, coloring, motion, graphics, visual effects, and any other finishing touches such as music and sound design.
