American Cancer Society PSA
A couple weeks ago I was asked to produce a thirty second spot for UT’s Relay for Life. The American Cancer Society promotes the event every year, and this year they wanted to use Tennessee’s point guard Melvin Goins.
Barbells For Boobs
Recently I participated in and shot Barbells for Boob’s “Amazing Grace” fundraiser to benefit Mammograms in Action at Crossfit Knoxville. The CrossFit community’s first cause to benefit women and all the CrossFitters who love them. As you can see from the video everyone had a really good time hurting for a great cause. It was [...]
Big Orange Rain Delay
The Volunteers led Oregon 6-0 when Neyland Stadium was hit by a torrential downpour. There were over 100 lightning strikes within the vicinity of the stadium in 30 minutes. Here is a behind the scenes look from the video board control rooms.
Basketball Summer Workouts
The first week of football season is no joke. It’s Friday night and I’m sitting here waiting on a render jamming to the Rage Pandora station already 75 hours into my work week. I somehow managed to squeeze out this basketball recruiting video today for the team and thought I would share. It’s a mix [...]
Laforet’s Gear List
Vincent Laforet (an amazing still photographer and video powerhouse) has just released a list of gear he uses on his blog that could possibly lead me to homelessness.
Knoxville Film Festival Awards
Team Friendship represented well at the 2010 24 Hour Knoxville Film Festival for our film “Granted”. The competition was stiff, but our crew came home with “Best Cinematography” and “Best Director”.
Granted
On August 17, 2010 I became part of a group of 7 co-workers that decided to enter a 24 hour short-film contest in Knoxville.
24 Hours Behind the Scenes
I entered into my first 24 hour film contest with a few people I work with at Tennessee. It’s been a lot of fun so far, but we still have several hours of editing to go. Here is a sneak peek into what we have done so far.
The Boys of Fall
If this doesn’t get you fired up for football season, I don’t know what will. Very strong.
What is CrossFit
Shot a couple classes today at CrossFit Knoxville. I had a bunch of stuff to encode at work today so I threw this together while I was waiting.
Snowshoe 2010 Race Series #2
My boy Doug Ferguson finished fourth today during round 2 of the 2010 Snowshoe Race Series. I just happened to be around and grabbed some photos during his run.
Behind the Scenes: Eric Berry 4 Heisman
The 2009 Tennessee football season was full of excitement, drama, and lots of late nights staring at computer monitors. One of the highlights for me was working on the Eric Berry for Heisman campaign. Because Eric was a defensive back, he didn’t have a the best chance of winning the Heisman (typically given to a [...]
Saliva Music Video
A few years ago I worked for Horizon Entertainment (a small production company out of Atlanta) on a show called Varsity Inc.. The eight episodes featured a football team from West Monroe high school in Louisiana. We had to cut a music video for the show featuring the band Saliva. Their music was already being [...]
Mpora Featured Video
Yesterday I received an email from the guys at Mpora, Europe’s largest action sports community and video platform, asking me to upload my Windrock video to their site. Lo and behold it makes the featured content on the site today. Pretty cool place to be seen and show off the quality downhill of East Tennessee.
Brent Bookwalter Tour Ride
Back in my hay day when I was racing mountain bikes at ETSU, this guy was racing in our conference for Lees-Mcrae University. Brent Bookwalter is a beast. The guy completely dominated xc, short track, and road. He wasn’t too bad at slalom and downhill either…the only two events I was able to beat him [...]
Wayne Chism Rides BMX
So I’m sitting at work doing a bit of editing when I receive an email linking to a blog called dixibmx. When I opened the page my jaw dropped. I see 6’9 246 pound Tennessee power forward Wayne Chism riding a bmx bike in a skatepark! Check out dixibmx to see what those guys thought [...]
ESPN Varsity Inc. Episode 1
For roughly the last 6 months of 2007 I packed up my bags and moved to Atlanta, GA to work as an assistant editor on a show called Varsity Inc.
ChalkTalk: Justin Wilcox
The second installment of “ChalkTalk” with Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox. So many good bites to use…so little time to show them.
Windrock Downhill MTB 7D Test
Took the 7D up to Windrock to shoot some downhill. To make things more interesting I built a little 4 foot pvc skateboard dolly.
The Monster Park
Nearly four years ago, when I was really starting to get into video production, I headed up to Snowshoe, WV with my Panasonic DVX100a to shoot a freeride mountain bike event called The Monster Park. 1.8 million YouTube views later it seemed fitting to post the video into the blog.
GAC Shortcut: Gretchen Wilson
This is a GAC shortcut featuring Gretchen Wilson. The shortcuts are made up of three :60 commercials that play during breaks on GAC. The primary purpose is not only to promote the artist, but to promote a product as well. In this case…Triscuits. In this shortcut I was second camera. I shot on a Sony [...]
GAC Shortcut: Kingbilly
This is a GAC shortcut featuring the band Kingbilly. The shortcuts are made up of three :60 commercials that play during breaks on GAC. The primary purpose is not only to promote the artist, but to promote a product as well. In this case…CiCis Pizza. In this shortcut I was second camera. I shot on [...]
Football Recruiting: ChalkTalk
In addition to the coaches videos that will be placed on the football recruiting website, I have decided to do a few short “ChalkTalk” segments that will be featured on utsports.tv. First up on the list is offensive coordinator Jim Chaney.
Wilhoit Wedding Teaser
Here is a little tease from my sister’s wedding. Hopefully someday soon I will find the time to finish the edit.
