So much more than an office job!

Plane rides, car accident scenes, body builders, politicians, restaurants and more restaurants, history, music, weddings, real estate, children homes—you name it I have probably been involved with a video about it!

The past three years of my life have been spent working for Navigation Advertising and Adventure Video Services to produce videos of all kinds. I have traveled to from Washington D.C. to Montgomery, AL as well as small southern country towns.

Each video production has been unique and opened my eyes to different places and people. Not everyone is fortunate enough to get paid for doing what they love. Visual story telling through video is my primary gift and I enjoy every minute of it.

One of the most recent video projects I shot and edited was a demo reel for motivational speaker, Dale Smith Thomas. Dale's presentation at Murfreesboro's newest hotel and only convention center, The Embassy Suites, was my first time shooting in high definition. Our multi-cam set up included three Panasonic AG-HVX-200’s that recorded directly to P2 cards. Wow! This made “capturing” the footage in Final Cut twice as fast! While editing her speech into a 10-minute demo reel I was not only able to practice editing and exporting high definition video but also truly became inspired by her encouraging words. What a great way to start 2009!
