Here is the first full-time Welcome Video for incoming students. The actual video is on the Admitted Students page (only available to admitted students), but you can get a sneak peak here!   how can i get my ex girlfriend back zp8497586rq

I love directing music videos because it combines two of my great loves, filmmaking and music. For me, not having to deal with sound design is definitely one of the biggest perks. I leave THAT to the pros. Instead, I get to spend copious amounts of time listening to the music and dreaming.   I try to feel and understand what the artist wants to accomplish with the music. I think about questions to ask, such as “what happened when you wrote this song” or “why did you write this song?” Different colors float around in my head or I…

Having produced several successful Kickstarter campaigns, and by successful I mean Kickstarters that reached their funding goals, many people have asked me what it takes to have a good Kickstarter video. Here are my thoughts.     Making a good kickstarter video and campaign requires more than just a good camera. It takes a lot of planning, structuring, and good business sense. In my opinion, having no video is better than having a video if a company is unwilling or unable to spend the investment on quality. Why?   Often times, a Kickstarter video is a company’s first impression to…

Filming Meagan and Cameron’s wedding was a fantastic experience. Meagan is a dear friend of mine from the University of Texas McCombs MBA Full-Time program Class of 2012 and one of the first people I recruited for my filming craziness. You may recognize her in most of my MBA videos, such as “Gettin’ My MBA,” “Doritos: Get Your Own,” and countless others. She is a regular super star.   Besides being ridiculously beautiful and an awesome bride to work with, Meagan is a beautiful person inside. She is always such a positive person and so willing to help out others….

I am consistently amazed by how drastically the painting experience can change by simply increasing or decreasing the size of the canvas. This goes the same way with editing. For a bigger screen, camera shakiness, for example, becomes much more prominent and any imperfection is magnified. I have not edited as much for a big screen, mainly for the computer/Internet, so I notice these differences significantly and how they affect my overall editing experience.   When Aaron Lyons commissioned me to edit a 30-second piece for the Venture Labs Investment Competition (VLIC), to be displayed on the Nasdaq Tower in…
