While I've edited many Hot Wheels broadcast spots as well as industrial sizzles, this piece can claim two firsts for me: it's the first Indiegogo video, and it's the first that I also shot (interviews and B-roll at Mattel headquarters). This was actually the first Indiegogo campaign ever put on by Hot Wheels, and it was a success. Agency: Good Kind of Crazy. Client: Mattel

I was brought on to shoot and edit a behind-the-scenes montage of a photo shoot for new brand artwork designed and executed by NEFT Creative Director, Paul Robinson. The completed artwork can be seen at the end of this video. Client: NEFT Vodka.

As a father myself, anything having to do with Father's Day I'm all about. So when I got a call to do a short video message from Houston Rocket Iman Shumpert to his daughter, Junie, I jumped on the chance. Combining Instagram videos dating back years with newly shot footage of Iman speaking directly to Junie (the beautiful words written by Iman himself!), the effect is touching. 280K views and a comment from Dwyane Wade, not too shabby either. Shot and edited by me. Agency, Lineage Digital

Tasked with creating a promo video using only pre-existing event photos and video, and publications to the website, the approach that I took to this edit-only job was to pose more questions than answers while also providing the widest possible overview of the series of live events.

Brought on by Director Kyle Ruddick as 2nd Unit Director for the Dallas, TX portion of a four-city shoot. This marks Green's second collaboration with Ruddick who was the visionary behind the global collaborative documentary project, One Day on Earth. A version of Green's short subject, Two Left El Dorado, was included in the feature film. This also marks Green's first national broadcast commercial. Agency: Zambezi; Production Company: FlyHelo

A commentary on the woes of phablet use, this is the fourth commercial I have shot for Plantronics, and the first without their signature "Charlie" character. Instead the comedy in this spot is divvied up among three individuals and features, as the lead, a straight man in the place of the bumbling idiot. Agency: OIC

The third in a series of comedic spots for Plantronics wireless headsets, each featuring "Charlie" bungling communication in one way or another. In this particular spot, Charlie, having just arrived at the airport, attempts to talk into his phone while also handling a number of trolleys full of baggage; this does not go well for our hero. But, with the help of the Voyager Legend wireless bluetooth headset, he is able to hail that cab and all is well. Agency: OIC.
