"You (Will) should be a dancer because you learn all the choreography... You guys don't realize in order for us to do a one take video like this, he has to know the choreography and not mess up"
- Todrick Hall - From Fag Behind the Scenes BTS - Green Day - Still Breathing I was the Cinematographer for this music video as well as the drone and steadicam operator. It was a week long music video that took me up and down the West Coast to finish off with the band in L.A. where this BTS video is shot.
Evanescence - Making Of Imperfection.mp4 I was the Cinematographer for this music video as well as the steadicam operator. I was able to do some really fun and creative things on this one from submerging the band in a water tank to using some large rain rigs.
BTS - Todrick Hall - FAG I was the Cinematographer for this music video as well as the steadicam operator. This was a real challenge as Todrick wanted a true one shot video. It took a lot of coordinating with lighting cues and working with the choreographer, but we got it!
BTS - Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes I was Steadicam on this music video. It was a blast to get to work with Brandon and his talented band. It was a lot of pressure to get the big 360 shots right at sunset on the rooftop!
BTS - Countdown to the Emmys through Google Glass I was co-cinematographer on this project along with close friend and DP Carissa Dorson. I also operated steadicam.
BTS -Farm Fresh in Wisconsin I was camera and drone on this video for a supplement company. We shot early mornings up in the cranberry bogs of Wisconsin.
