Behind
Scenes
the
Obsessed with many different art. Aspiring to help other artists and learn from them! Everything seems to be better with a team. I love people. I hope I can share the fun of creation forever!
From stage to film to television, and round again! Love helping someone actualize a vision by sharing stories, expressions, and ideas in any way that I can!
For some projects, I might be presenting ideas, and working with others to actualize my visions to produce an end product that will hopefully benefit us all creatively and financially. And other times I move furniture and turn things ever so slightly to help another artist's vision for several hours, I might clean toilets, or drive all over town, and drop off coffee.
Sometimes I build props, set pieces, backgrounds, and a look on set, Love doing all of that. Props and FX stuff is very fun! Other times I'm carrying sandbags up a steep hill for what feels like forever on a sandune.
Sometimes it's sitting in front of the computer watching several hours of footage a day editing and looking for other ways to get paid. Compared to days when it's fast-paced and behind the camera trying to capture all the beautiful things I can see to hopefully share with you.
I'm not famous by any means. I'm told I have to share my work, but I don't like promoting on platforms. I guess I'm not much of a salesperson, I just like making and being a part of production. I like it most when I get to play a character and perform, but I also enjoy preproduction getting projects ready to roll, and I love being on set with cameras rolling even if I'm hiding from them, but running in between takes to move a bush in front of a logo we aren't allowed to show or something!
Editing is very empowering. But, beyond edits, Post-production, and what to do with the product afterward I'm not experienced in. I don't post them, I don't tend to promote or sell any farther than initial negotiations of the benefits of the project to be created in the first place... Which is even more reason to work with a team!
The most notable projects I've been able to help on behind the camera are Metallica's Spit Out The Bone, Disturbed's The Vengeful One, Twisters 2024 the movie, and commercials like Colorado Lottery, Denver Mattress, Furniture Row, Google Mouce, Jeep, Conoco, NFL, Netflix.
The ones that have little money to back them in promoting, are not as easy to find. I do a lot of independent projects. My favorite things to do, I'm still trying to learn how to make money doing them, but I love filming passion projects for people. Love acting as a character in them, I love learning from them, I love the passion behind them. I want to make it real for everyone to make dreams come true and I also love working on these projects in any other behind the camera capacity. I tend to love the art department the most, within many categories Greens department, Set Decorating, making props, painting items, helping FX, Set design, love it all!
