Jonathan Ellis - Reel
Each of the narrative and experimental videos displayed here (with the exception of "Black Woman") are examples of my work 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.
The 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 seperate page is "The Tonya Blount Show" Intro/Edit - I was editor only - reusing previously edited materials supplied to me. Ms. Blount unfortunately took off for parts unknown and never picked up the work, nor did she complete payment, but hey, what I did is still good.-)
At the bottom of this page you will find a few of my radio pieces.
And finally here's a link to a recent collaborative work (the 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), still, I'm proud of what we did.
