This is a promotional video that I wrote, produced, and edited for the Press Release announcement of TV Land's upcoming show Teachers.

This is a spot that I wrote, produced, and edited for online use. It was used to promote an upcoming episode for Hot in Cleveland called Murder House. The idea was to draw viewers in by promoting the episode in a way that was different from anything you'd expect from a Sitcom.

The Art Direction and Sound Engineering really made this spot come together nicely. I asked my Art Director to create something in line with Paranormal Activity, and he really nailed it! The Audio Engineer had a lot of fun with this spot as well, finding the perfect sound effects to set a tone and add life to the spot.

This is a spot that I edited and co-produced for Hot In Cleveland. The show reached 10 million viewer mark, and we wanted to celebrate that! I went out with a small crew and both myself and another Producer conducted man-on-the-street interviews. This was no easy task!

First, interviewing people in Manhattan during lunchtime is extremely difficult to do. Not only did I have to step out of my comfort zone and approach strangers, but I also had to accept rejection. LOTS of rejection.

Second, we had to conduct a lot of interviews in order to get 30 seconds of usable sound bites. It's a nerve-racking thing to do because you never really know if you have enough footage until you get into the edit room. 

We also had a really quick turnaround for the spot. It had to go on air within two days of receiving the assignment.

While we were shooting interviews, the Art Director on the project went around the city shooting footage to use as backplates for the graphics. 

This was a great team effort that really paid off in the end.

This spot was inspired by the trailer for House of Cards. My boss wanted me to created a similar spot, using sound bites to drive the piece instead of voice over. Since Hot in Cleveland is a Sitcom, she wanted to have a humorous turn at the end. 

I wrote, produced, and edited this spot. My Audio Engineer helped bring it to life with sound effects.

This is a spot that I wrote, produced, and edited for use at the 2014 Upfront. Ad Sales wanted a piece to show how much of a presence Hot in Cleveland had on social media, and how popular they were across various platforms.

This spot took a lot of work to put together. My Production Assistant and I spent days gathering screenshots and video from all the different social media sites that Hot in Cleveland has a presence on. We also searched for show clips to compliment the images, and serve as good transitions between sections. 

My Art Director and I worked together to figure out the best way to incorporate the still images. She did an amazing job animating the footage, and transitioning the youtube videos into the spot. We had to make sure it was very clear what platform we were highlighting. Her animation and art direction really helped make the piece so successful.  

This is a 2 minute sizzle reel that I produced and edited for Cedric The Entertainer to use at the beginning of his Stand-Up Comedy Tour. He wanted something to promote his new show, The Soul Man, while the audience was waiting for him to come on stage.

The footage at the beginning was shot by my boss for a Behind The Music spoof used online (see below for the entire spoof video). 

This is a Behind The Music spoof that was created for online use to promote The Soul Man. My boss shot the footage of Cedric The Entertainer as Boyce Ballentine (aka "Boyce The Voice") in his younger pop star years, before he became a Pastor.

I went through the footage and chose the best parts to create a piece that was reminiscent of VH1's Behind The Music series.

This was a lot of fun to produce and edit! 

I produced and edited this clip for A+E Networks' Ad Sales use. I had to take the entire 46-minute episode of Dance Moms and edit it down to a 4-minute clip. 

The Ad Sales department uses these clips during their pitches to give clients an idea of what the shows are about. The sales people usually don't have much time with the clients and they try to show numerous clips in order to sell more than one show at a time. These clips have to be short enough for them to show multiple clips quickly, but have enough content in them so that the client gets an idea of what the show is about. 

This is not an easy task! Cutting a 46-minute show down to 4 minutes is hard enough. You also have to include enough content so the clip makes sense, and enough drama to keep it interesting. 

This is a spot that I wrote, produced, and edited as part of the Launch Campaign for Season 2 of The Soul Man.

This was an especially tricky spot to produce because the show was still in production, I had very little new show footage to work with. To work around this, I used footage from an interview that was done for online use, as well as Behind The Scenes footage from the previous season of the show. 

This is another spot that I produced, edited, and co-wrote as part of the Launch Campaign for Season 2 of The Soul Man.

Again, this was a tricky spot to produce because I had very little new show footage to work with. This time I focused on Cedric's character, and used a funny bite from the one new episode I had, as well as an older bite that we had never used in our promos before. 

This is a 2-minute "Best of" spot that I produced and edited for the President of TV Land to use at a presentation. I had to look through 5 seasons of footage and pull out the best moments. Luckily, I had worked on a few seasons of this show before, so I had a good idea of what moments were the best. I was also given some suggestions from my co-workers, which helped a lot.

I am especially proud of this spot because it was approved immediately. Neither my boss, my boss' boss, or the President of TV Land had any changes. That's very rare, and I was really proud of myself.
