My favorite thing about filming is the finished product! The process can be stressful between preparation, shooting, and editing. I want your story to be told perfectly. I find great satisfaction when it all comes together at the end!

I had the great pleasure of directing this music video "Watch Di Pree" by A-Static! It's out on Youtube, so please check it out and let me know what you think!

We wanted it to be outside-the-box of what you might see in a Hip-hop video, so we created a story that drew on several classic influences! Can you guess which ones??😁
I want to thank Victoria Nimneh and Alison Schiller for helping with the Choreography for the dance sequences. Also thanks to the amazing team: ,Sirena Salazar, Eric Bible, and Nathan Romesser.

Too often we are trying to video an experience rather than being in the moment. This is especially hard when it is your business. I have been working hard to stay in the moment. What is one way you have been working hard to stay in the moment?

Are you considering a video to brand your business? Here are a few tips for selecting the right location:

1. Consider your brand and the message you want to convey.
-Professional Setting: For corporate videos or product demonstrations, a clean, well-lit office or studio might be ideal.
-Casual Setting: If you're aiming for a more relaxed or personal vibe, consider filming at a coffee shop, park, or even your home office.
-On-Location: If your business involves a specific location (like a store, restaurant, or workshop), filming there can add authenticity and context.

2. Noise levels: Quiet environments are best for audio clarity.

3. Lighting: Natural light is often preferred, but ensure there are no harsh shadows or glare.

4. Background: Keep the background simple and uncluttered to avoid distractions.
