Commercial
Friday the 13th Commercial was a comedic horror spot I created for Olympia Furniture & Sleep Company. I storyboarded the entire concept in advance, carefully planning each shot before filming everything in a single day. To bring the piece to life, I layered in sound effects and special visual effects that amplified the humor while playing on classic horror tropes. The result was a playful, high-energy commercial that the furniture store was very pleased with.

German Car Service Commercial
German Car Service Commercial
German Car Service Announcement Video was a promotional piece I produced to highlight the full range of services offered at the shop. I filmed b-roll on location using my Blackmagic camera with its built-in gyroscope stabilizer, while physically stabilizing the shots by sitting on a wheelchair and using a gimbal. In post, I refined the stabilization and cut the footage to a dynamic soundtrack, letting each beat change introduce a new service or visual. The result was a clean, engaging announcement video that effectively showcased the shop’s expertise and professionalism.

Commercial Compilation
Local Business Compilation
Commercial Compilation is a collection of my work creating promotional videos for local businesses. I started with Metro Body Piercing, filming extensive b-roll with my assistant in a single location over one day, then combining the footage with music and voiceover to tell a compelling story. Using the same recording method, I worked with Underhill Plants in downtown Olympia, who were very pleased with the results, and then with Lash Brat Beauty Bar, where the video effectively showcased the services they provide. I also produced a full-length video for Porcupine Media, outlining all the services we offer so that new viewers on our YouTube channel could immediately see it as the pinned video. Across all projects, the approach consistently delivered engaging, professional content that highlighted each business’s offerings.
