Re-enactment piece on the true story of a Seal Team One Vet, Dave Roever. Dave had a phosphorous grenade explode inches from his face. His story is one truly great adventure.

Shot with various formats, mostly Super 8 for the Viet Nam portions.

This corporate branding piece was a fantastic project to work on. It took place over a 5+ year period. Several teams filming. Great editorial staff. The directors all top notch. I’m sad this one is gone. Intel did a great thing in the early 2000’s. Most of the work was for Intel employees only. A special thanks to Alan Rich, Producer, Ryan Gruzen, Editorial/Creative, Joel Hood, Director. Really, really admire you guys.

Equipment was often basic as we filmed “under the radar” for the most part. The logistics of permitting everywhere we filmed, mostly the developing world would have been impossible.

Shot over a year in a dozen countries. This is the story about modern family with Tim Sisarich as host and Michael Sajbel, Director.

This was a great shoot in the Arizona Desert. We had great light and the crew was fabulous. The Rigging/Key Grip (name here) was awesome! Special gear on this shoot was The Pursuit Arm mounted on a Porsche Cayenne. Pursuit never lets me down. Director; Pete Erickson

Green screen work with the 2019 Honda Pilot. Fun shoot at Thunder Studios. I used the Fisher Box for the entire shoot, mainly to eliminate green spill on the vehicle. The Fisher Light is incredibly soft and flexible tool. I had experienced operators helping with placement. Director; Sean Wilson

Talk about a fun shoot. I followed the build of this vehicle from inception to record breaker. The test driver, Craig Stanton is absolutely one of the best. His cool under pressure, his skills, and his on camera smarts make him a pleasure to work with whenever I get the opportunity. Director; Mike Balog (me this time out)
