ABOUT ME
Beginning with my passion for flying remote control airplanes as a child, I slowly became interested in the world of drones. From there, I developed my skills with both drone racing as well as aerial cinematography, where I found myself driven to create visual content as well as building and programming remote airplanes and drones from scratch, ultimately diving into general cinematography.
I am licensed by the FAA for commercial drone use and have worked with over 100 clients on professional wedding films, promotional corporate advertisements, real estate tours, among other customized video and photo projects. I strive to improve my work with every project I complete, but always deliver the highest quality digital content possible using industry-standard editing programs and camera equipment used in today's films and commercials.

Visual Effects
VFX are not for every video, but when they fit in they will make a massive difference on the production value of the video, especially for product advertisements. The Coca-Cola clip shown below consisted of three separate shots and backgrounds put together in post-production.
Color Grading
Color grading is an essential and often overlooked aspect of the post-production process.
I create my color grades from scratch, involving my own workflow that ensures I achieve a look fitting the appropriate tone, style, and emotion in each individual video and clip. This could mean a filmic color grade (ex. 1), a clean grade geared more toward promotional or television advertisements (ex. 2), or something completely different.
Commercials could involve a narrative and call for a filmic look which can work better than a clean one depending on the situation.
The most important thing to understand is that every video is unique and therefore needs a tailored color grade to achieve the best result.
