CINEMA

My current video project is the ongoing webisode series "Red Head Talking." I've set up a distribution hub though Blip.tv, and continue to expand the scope of distribution in cautious steps as I to place more material up for viewing. Embedded directly below are the first two episodes as they appear via youtube where I've established a channel specifically to showcase the project:

 

 

Each of the narrative and experimental videos displayed below (with the exception of "Black Woman") are further examples of earlier works from pre-production through final edit, including original scripting, direction, cinematography, editing in Final Cut, Avid and (my personal software choice) Adobe Premiere, as well as audio manipulation using Sound Forge and Adobe Audition.

Three industrial works for Kaplan Medical are a fair representation of more than two-hundred DVD's that I developed for them as Lead Media Producer, on-set director and occasional editor over a period of three years.

I was Assistant Director on, "Black Woman" with my good friend and colleague Joyia D. Bradley at EB Film Productions.

On a separate page is "The Tony Blount Show" Intro/Edit - I was editor only - reusing previously edited materials supplied to me. Though the work is good, Ms. Blount unfortunately chose to let me do it and not make payment - nor did she ever see or receive the completed material. Her facebook link was recently passed to me, and I decided to link it from here. She did teach me that it's always a good thing to require some payment up front. Live and learn. I have no intention of making any attempt at collecting what is owed, but I do feel it is fair to let others know who they might be dealing with no matter how honest they may come across.

At the bottom of this page you will find a few of my radio pieces.

Here's a link to a collaborative work (the 2008 NYC 48 Hour Film Competition). Admittedly the finished project contains more than a few rough spots (what the hell - written, filmed and edited in 48 hours). I'll get over it.

Here's a link to a real estate virtual tour video. An interesting area of possible expansion.

And finally here's a link to my extensive online portfolio where you will find links to some additional experimental works as well as perhaps a duplicate or two of those represented on this page.

What I see is what you get:

Cinema, film, audio or video
It's all media to me
When one sleeps they dream
Upon awakening they turn
To those shining moments
That trigger the dream-state
This is a love affair
Somewhere between sleep
And make believe
