Promotional Videos

Lucia-Masks.com reached out to me to create a series of promos to promote their new line of Lucha Libre themed PPE masks. The masks were still in production at the time and so I was unable to shoot anything with the actual products. However I was able to get photos of the masks from the manufacturer and then use those as a reference to create 3D versions in Blender.

Edited in Final Cut Pro X with 3D renders done in Blender. UVs created in Affinity Photo.

“Olapay” Product Video

I shot and edited this product video showcasing the Olapay software on TeamSable POS terminals. The project went through multiple revisions as certain features where not finalized, or in some cases, dropped entirely while in production of the video. In some shots the Screen images had to be replaced in post-production due to the viewing angle of the LCD screens creating issues during filming.

Edited in Final Cut Pro X with some motion tracking shots done in Adobe After Effects.

Video Transfers AD

A1 Photo & Video Lab

Shot and edited this simple 30 second ad for the A1 Photo & Video Lab in Berkeley, Ca for them to use in their online marketing. Rather than showcase every service they offer, the Manager and I decided it would be better to highlight one specific area that they specialize in, in this case Video transfers. The video was shot on location at their facility and edited in FCPX.

Pro Wrestling Revolution Action Figure Commercial

Shot and edited this commercial for the first wave of action figures from Pro Wrestling Revolution.

I created a replica of the PWR entrance way out of an old WCW Nitro arena playset and some poster board. The figures have no articulation and so I had to find ways to convey action using static figurines. I used Fog, Fishing line, Moving lights, and a slider to add as much energy as possible to the piece. On the set that was built, one of the featured wrestlers was no longer with the organization, and it was requested that they be replaced. Rather than build a new set and refilm the spot, I motion tracked the shots where it was visible and composited in a new image

Shot on a Sony a6400 and edited in Final Cut Pro X with some motion tracking and compositing done in HitFilm Express.

“Big Boy Wraps”

Social Media Promotional Video

I shot and edited this simple promo video for Big Bow Wraps in Oakley, CA to showcase their facilities and quality of work. It was a spontaneous shoot so the entire thing was filmed with a Google Pixel 3 and a DJI smartphone gimbal. The Ferrari wasn't finished by the end of the day so the client went back and shot footage of it completed later on for me to edit into the final video. The ad became one of their featured marketing materials across social media.

Pro Wrestling Revolution Event recap for Social Media

PWR would have me do recap videos for some of their event to be featured on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

The videos are shot run and gun style from the audience perspective and are designed to promote the atmosphere of the events and encourage people to come out and experience them for themselves.

“Action Figure Addiction” Instagram Branding Video

Created this branding video for the Instagram page Action_Figure_Addiction. It is essentially a micro documentary about the page designed to increase brand awareness and attract new followers while also showing a behind the scenes look at the toy photography the page is known for.

Pro Wrestling Revolution Training Academy Commercial

Shot and edited this commercial for the PWR Training Academy in San Jose, CA.

BLACKSUITS | Sc-Fi Web Series

A mini-series following a handful of top secret government agents who police and monitor extraterrestrial and paranormal activity on planet earth. This project was shot over the course of several years in between other projects. It was a passion project built around our affinity with sci-fi.

"Sticks and Stones" After School program Promotional Video.

Shot and edited this promo video for the "Sticks and Stones" after school program. I interviewed the creator of the program and a local teacher that was using the program. For the interview with the teacher there was difficulty with the acoustics in her classroom that I was unable to minimize so I had to resort to using ERA plugins to correct the reverb and echo as much as possible. The video would go on to be the main promotional tool for the program.

Shot on a Sony AX100 & a Canon 60D and edited in Final Cut Pro X.

"Devil's Due" - Joaquin Xavier | OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

I conceptualized and storyboarded the video before production began and created an animatic of what the end result would be to get everyone on board and streamline production. The video would serve not only to promote Joaquin Xaviers singe, but also act as an episode of the popular web series Frosted Mini Fears.

I shot the video over two days on a Sony a6400 and edited it in FCPX. Storyboards where done in Storyboarder.

Amadi Grey's "Tricks" Music Video BTS

I shot and edited this behind the scenes video of Amadi Grey's "Tricks" Music video which was used to promote the release of the track. Some footage from this ended up in the finished video. Shot on a Sony a6400 and edited in FCPX.

After delivering the video, the client had a falling out with members of the main production team and re-edited the video to remove them before releasing it. This is the original version I completed.

“You Can’t stop a Revolution”

I shot and edited this documentary in early 2021 which tells the story of how the Pro Wrestling Revolution Training academy was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. I interviewed the students of the academy and the wrestlers of the promotion about how the pandemic changed their lives and how PWR adapted to the lockdown and found new ways of training their students.

The film was used to promote the full reopening of the academy in May of 2021. It was released on the Training Academy’s Facebook page and garnered massive praise and engagement from those following the page.

Shot on a Sony a6400 & Sony AX100 and edited in Davinci Resolve.

“The Natural One: The story of Michael Modest”

This film was a collaboration with the Indy Handshake wrestling podcast and is a career retrospective on independent wrestling legend Michael Modest. Modest is most well known for his appearance in the film Beyond the Mat as well as his work in All Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Iron, Pro Wrestling Noah, and World Championship Wrestling. The film would be a massive success for the podcast, becoming their most acclaimed piece to date and receiving critical acclaim from many involved in the pro wrestling industry. The film was also featured in the June 2021 issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated where it was reviewed by Mike Bessler who rated it 5/5 suplexes.

The film was shot by me on a Sony a6400 and Sony AX100 with Jesus Cruz of Indy Handshake handling the editing in Adobe Premiere.
