Commercial Reel


A collection of commercial and web spots.

Doritos - "Rescue"


Writer / director Mark Henderson came to me with his creative concept for a Dorito's spec spot. I thought it was fun and clever enough to spend a couple pro-bono days on.


We scheduled the shoot over one day with only the sun and reflectors, using the vastly shifting fall-season light to creative effect. Note the use of late-afternoon light on the moments when our hero is in the "magical realm" of pursuing the cart.


Mark and I recorded some Foley of the shopping cart and I cut, graded, and sound designed the finished :30 spot.

Chevy Cruze . spec spot


I shot this fun spec spot for director, Christian Clark and producer, Angela Trevino. It reached the finals in the MoFilm spot competition.

Trulia . "Location"


Swing Advantage . "What If?"


I shot this evocative product spot for director, Glenn Martin. A black-out stage and stark edge lighting created the drama. Shot in color, Glenn isolated key elements in color to create more impact.

Verizon . Blackberry Torch


Creative company, Invodo, hired director, Christian Remde, and me to shoot the live elements for the release of the Blackberry Torch smartphone.

Ellis & Salazar . "Authentic"


Producer/Director, Glenn Martin, asked me to shoot this duo of quirky regional spots featuring a slightly off pitch-man.

Pest Management . "Doorbell"


I shot this trio of regional spots for producer/director Glenn Martin. With insufficient budget for locations and Glenn handling post-production, we shot these on green-screen (with a partial set for the "Doorbell" spot. After Glenn researched stock photos for the background plates, I lit the talent to match, assuring a seamless picture.

And, yes, that's me in the "Fast" spot.

Tony Nguyen . "Stop"


One of a series of regional spots I produced, directed, DP'd, composited, edited, and sound designed - pretty much soup-to-nuts. Drawing on the over-the-top delivery of regional attorney spots, Tony and I stepped up the look beyond the typical production values of his competitors in the space.
