With the current pandemic going on and the video production industry in freefalll, this has given me tons of time to go through old videos and see what I was doing years ago. Actually, I’m going to post these videos over the next few days, and they are ones I had lost, and just like going through old albums, it’s a cross of disbelief, “I’m never showing this to anyone” and “Oh yeah remember that.”
So hopefully, you enjoy some of the stuff, as I think it will be at least entertaining.

So here is my first video, it’s actually my first reel. IF you don’t know what a reel is, it is supposed to be the combination of your best work that you show to prospective clients in order to get work. I watched this thing a thousand times when I made it as I couldn’t believe I even had one….
It’s funny as there are so many first in this video…the check thing was my first job with TJ Max and Homestore it was surreal as I was still working a day job at the time, and I had to take a lunch break to film the grand opening in Georgetown. It was such a big deal that my parents came out to see me work (hahaha)….Oooohhhhh the dodge challenger commercial!! That was my first car commercial actually I had a friend you told their manager I do video as they were looking for a local production shot for their website…it was so guerilla-style as at the time I only had a camera and a mic, in the end, that’s all you need but showing up to a set with just you, a book bag, and a mic…and your client asking where are your lights…was definitely a learning experience……
