I can write, shoot and edit professional videos for the web and broadcast. Here’s a sample of some of my previous work:
Pah! - I co-wrote, directed and edited Canada’s first HD Deaf television pilot. “Written” and performed in American Sign Language in association with members of Toronto’s Deaf community, this production won the Broadcast Educators’ Association of Canada Award for “Best Drama” and Ryerson University TARA awards for “Best Director” and “Best Video Practicum.”
Cutting Down Caribou – A scrappy little video I cut over a weekend on Windows Movie Maker with a $20 microphone. It stirred up a bunch of trouble and media coverage, and has been viewed over 13,000 times. It enjoyed early success among niche audiences including forestry professionals, research scientists and government decision-makers.
Ducking Responsibility in Ontario’s Boreal Forest – A scrappy little take-off on the Nintendo classic DuckHunt. The dog gives a slide show presentation on the importance of protecting Ontario’s Boreal Forest. Guess what, the McGuinty government just announced protection of an area half the size of California – the largest conservation commitment in Canadian history – and it was all because of this little video! (Okay, that’s a gross exaggeration, but I’d like to think at least one of the Premier’s staff watched it).
Endangered Species “Greatest Hits” – Remember those terrible “Greatest Hits” infomercials? Well…enjoy.
Mountain Caribou Public Service Announcement – A 30 second public service announcement that ran in Festival Cinema theatres across Vancouver during the summer of 2007. Part of a much larger campaign that secured a major caribou recovery commitment from the BC government, including large-scale forest protection.
