This is a TV commercial for the Wild Hare in Cedar Falls Iowa. The owner wanted to use imagery of menu items mixed with various activities at the bar including an Acoustic Jam Night and Volleyball. I shot this over an early evening and later at night to get the full atmosphere of the bar and the patrons who go there.
Commercial spot was seen during collegiate and professional sports broadcasts as a local spot featured on ESPN, ESPN2, Big Ten Network and mixtures of professional sports on various networks.

Production Roll: Lighting Gaffer, Assistant Cameraman, and Post Production Experience
This commercial was shot for a local retirement community on location at a local mall. The lighting proved to be challenging as it was a wide open space that had multiple lighting elements used naturally in the area. Professional Lighting was brought in to not only light the scene but eliminate the effects of the various lighting elements. I also gained experience working with a Black Magic digital video system during the shoot and the imagery it creates in post production.

This commercial was shot for a local printing company. I used a voiceover and script as guidance while shooting shots of the company's products in various ways to create engaging visuals to compliment the voice over. I also got talent to shoot on location with me to give a person feel to the commercial as well show the location for the company.
This commercial spot was used the local designated market area as well as a commercial to be played for the Waterloo Blackhawks video board during hockey games.

This commercial was shot for a local gift shop who cold called Around The Corner Productions (ATCP) exploring the idea of making a commercial. Within minutes ATCP's Co-Owner, Eric Braley, and myself visited the gift shop with a voice over script for approval and a camera to get shots for the commercial spot. we worked with the client to feature aspects of the store they wanted featured.
Soon after I was back at ATCP importing video, setting up shots to match the voice over that was being recorded simultaneously. Within a few hours of the call by the client we had a finish commercial for the client to approve and sent it off for the approval.
The commercial was approved by the next morning with minor fixes and proved to be very effective in developing a client out of a prospect as we had a less than 24 hour turn around for this commercial.
