I have spent the last few days gathering up assets to update and spruce up my portfolio. I decided to start off with the below general production reel. Up next are more specific reels for editing, motion, etc. Contact me with any questions, thoughts, or to inquire about potential projects.

LIVE STREAMING + DIRECTION: Mishkan Chicago High Holiday Service
It was my honor to direct and technically direct the live stream of the Yom Kippur and Kol Nidre High Holidays for Mishkan Chicago. On top of Mishkan offering a riveting service, the production team at 1619 Productions put together an amazing crew and engineered a concert film feel that made calling it very fulfilling.
Out of respect for the solemnity of the holiday I won’t link directly to the live stream recordings, but they can be found on Mishkan’s youtube channel.

LIVE STREAMING + MOTION GFX: Skift Design the Future Awards 2020
It was a blast to help Skift’s creative team craft the vibe of their very vibey Design the Future design awards virtual event, for which I was technical director (live stream), on top of doing the editing, direction, and motion graphics for the interstitial content.
Working from the art and stills that the Skift team developed, and a lo fi sonic aesthetic as the inspiration, I put together some of my favorite bumpers and interstitial content of the many covid-era virtual events that I’ve worked on. Here is one of those… a guided breathing exercise set to a lo fi beat as a break between sessions, for which I animated a set of serene circles to visualize the pace of the breathing… just watch it you’ll see what I mean:
Skift Design the Future Awards 2020 Wellness Break Interstitial Editing and motion graphics by Me. To be clear: I did NOT make the awesome dot wave from the opening bumper, I merely found that stock footage :)
You can watch the full broadcast with the above interstitial and much more on Skift's youtube.
