  The wonderful staff at Calvary moved mountains for their congregation; multiple services and community outreach events per week, several large yearly conferences (with 1200+ attendees) and many recurring or one-off events. Utilizing print, digital and video work was key to their mission of touching families' lives. As a key member of their Creative Department, no two days were alike and each required new, unique collateral made. My digital work included: animated web banners, social media/newsletter content, LED screen vfx, photo retouch. I created all print design and ran production (printing/cutting machine/QC) myself to create hundreds of each piece for parishioners: flyers, brochures, feedback forms, 30+ pg. conference booklets, product DVD cases/discs, as well as designing event vinyl signage and roadside billboards. In addition to Graphics, I'd regularly run many video tasks: event coverage, production, interviews, DVD menu creation, as well as training the Creative Dept. in audio/video/motion graphics abilities.

  • Jan 2007 - Aug 2008

  Beneath the River, originally titled 'The Butterfly Knot', an independent feature-length film: Early on I handled visual effects work, involving compositing and shot clean-up to remove reflections, wires, etc. Eventually I re-edited the entire film alongside our talented director Brian Strine, changing the flow of our story's structure and making an unlikable 'hero' more redeeming. During this process I also collaborated in writing an entirely new denouement that was soon shot by our DP, the great Andre Pienaar, creating a completely new ending for our dark tale of fading love

• Editor / Videographer / Instructional Design for ETC Dept

  • Feb 2004 - Mar 2006

  When enrolled in RIT's dual Film & Animation program, I gained further valuable insight and experience while working for the campus' ETC Video Production/Marketing Department. On camera, I captured exciting footage of campus concerts and keynote speaking engagements, as well as singlehandedly live-streaming multi-cam setups that allowed professors to reach distance learners across the nation and overseas. Editing projects ranged from campus PR pieces, updates to archived betacam videos to fast-turnaround jobs that needed to go from classroom to online students the same day. Finished projects were often captioned and all delivered via web and DVD, podcast or videotape
