PRODUCTION
I have been editing for over 10 years, and working old switchboards and video toasters since Junior High School. I am very fast with a high quality output. I have a mobile system with FCP6, 7, and X, Adobe Suit CS5 and everything I need for high end post production. I have customized keyboard presets to optimize speed, and I play the keys like an instrument. I have a working knowledge of Avid Media Composer. I also dabble in 3D environments in After Effects and high end graphics in Photoshop. Most recently I worked as an in house editor for Comedy Time. Before that I worked as the main in-house editor for DC3 Global/The Dude Films. With the company I’ve also been a main editor for Creed, Slash, Alter Bridge, Ron ‘Meta World Peace’ Artest, viral sensations Megan and Liz, and many more including a feature length documentary for Alter Bridge which I completed in 1 week. I was also an editor on an add campaign for Levi’s, and I edited the full length comedy feature film, “Driving Bill Crazy.“ In previous years, I have worked as an AE for the History Channel's ”UFO Hunters” and "That’s Impossible!" The majority of my background is in cutting sketch and improv comedy. I have been the head editor for the world famous comedy group, Swinging Johnson Brothers since their inception in 2002, with whom I have also written and produced. With the group, I have edited full length pilots, shows, and a couple of 2 hour Christmas specials. Freelance I have edited short films, music videos, industrial pieces, commercials, trailers, sizzles, spots, and been the head editor for a local comedy TV show. In addition I’ve done full website development, key art, composition, ad development, foley, sfx, ADR recording and syncing, voice over, and character voice replacement. I have extensive knowledge of Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Adobe Premier, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Live Type, Soundtrack Pro, Pluraleyes, Conversion, Avid, RED, Encore, Vegas, Acid, iZotope, and much more. I have attached some links and my resume. Have a look and if it looks good, give me a call.
