I started editing somewhere around 2010, when my friend’s dad showed me Final Cut Pro. Since then my quiver has expanded into other software and styles, yet I remain mostly educated by tutorials on YouTube.

I studied film and motion graphics in college, and have developed proficiency in the entire Adobe design suite as well as Premier Pro and After Effects.

There’s this thrill of shooting something, you may know it, when you really get THE shot, and only you’ve seen it. You pull it up on the computer and you get to work: chop, mix, color, sound. Adjust and adjust and adjust.

Anticipation grows as it nears its destination. It jives, it moves, it’s pure gasoline… and then… poof It’s out there. A split second of blissful satisfaction and then as fast as it happened it disappears. That’s the good stuff. For me, that’s the game.

THE DIFFERENCE – SUPERCUT 2020

COVID-19 initially brought uncomfortable stagnancy, which eventually urged a dive back through footage. This short edit, mixed to an edit of “THE SCOTTS” by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi, is the product of that dive.

These are some of my favorite moments captured on a camera to date.

SIDELINE TEXTURES — 2019

In the world of hype videos, and especially the world of college football hype videos, its all about getting an edge. Myself, alongside Madison Hansen — Creative Director for Utah Football — stuck a couple of cameras on the sideline of Utah Football games, capturing basically everything BUT the game, in order to get that edge.

We pointed the cameras at the interactions, often unseen, that happen between players, coaches and fans on the sideline. We dubbed the videos “TEXTURES” and pushed them on social after every win (except one) in the 2019 season.

This piece played in front of 45,000 fans before the Utes took the field at every home game in 2018. I wrote the concept for the film after listening to an old favorite: the original “God’s Gonna Cut You Down,” by Johnny Cash.

A few months prior I heard a live vocalist at the local sandwich spot during Sunday brunch. His name was Jarret Burns, and he ended up composing, singing and producing the cover track used in the final edit. Brunch always leads to good things.
