AS SEEN ON TELEVISION

Videos and commercials I have produced for work or not for work. All are WMVs, and are less than 2 MBs unless indicated otherwise.


I put this preview together for our award-winning sports guy. They're trying to get it sponsored, so he wanted it flashy. Hence the flash...And then I made a second one.

Freedom's Warriors

One of our Anchors went to Iraq and almost got blown up. I edited his series when he got back. All the files are 7-8MB. These segemtns became part of a show that won an Emmy in 2006.
Night Patrol
Soccer Patrol
Day Patrol
Progress Report
Voices from Home
 

The Devil Went Down to Georgi a guy played a gig in South Carolina sponsored by one of the station's sponsors, so I made a promo.

I made these still gfx for our Emmy-winning sports anchor. In addition to the Emmy, he won four AP awards and the Edward R. Murrow award this year to complete the Triple Crown. So he asks so shall he receive.

These were edited, start to finish, in 20-40 minutes. This is what I do every night.

A Late Night spoof that I didn't have much time to make, and was never that happy with, but everyone else liked it, and you probably can't see any of the glitches with the resolution lowered for the web. I make a cameo as a member of the WTOC Orchestra.
