For Oatey

Greetings! Here are some samples of my work. Commercial/Corporate editing samples first, then documentary, then motion graphics, then videography samples, more about my videography experience, my equipment, and additional experience which could be an asset managing work ahead of and during events.

Commercial and Corporate Video Editing Samples

Documentary Editing Samples

Videography Samples

I am trying to locate and upload samples of other documentaries I did video on, Bulldog Spirit and Age of Avaloch.

  • In addition to the samples above, I was formally trained in cinematography as part of my studies at Syracuse University (BFA in Filmmaking, 2005). I filmed four student films there (one on 16mm, three on Mini DV cameras). I also occasionally shot b-camera at Maysles Films, Inc., though I don’t have samples for that. At Maysles Films, Inc., I acted as Office Manager from 2006-2009. During that time and beyond I was effectively their equipment manager, training staff in the use of cameras, maintaining and purchasing new cameras. Among other cameras, I trained staff in the Sony EX-1 and its data capture workflows.

  • My experience as Associate Producer (2 years), Post Supervisor (1 year), Production Coordinator (9 months), and my ability to manage and schedule staff could also potentially be a great asset to Prelude’s productions. I’ve got five years of managing staff as Office Manager (3 years Maysles Films) and Box Office Manager (2 years One World Theatre, where I scheduled and managed a corps of over 100 volunteers). I am fully capable of producing on event days, coordinating multiple cameras and other equipment. At Maysles Films I was essentially the equipment manager, maintaining and prepping the cameras and all production equipment for all shoots.
