This was my first video editing project. During my involvement with the project, I created this promo trailer for the book. I chose the images to use, edited the sequence and selected and edited to music.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Part 1 of a two part series for Kirkland&#8217;s and their online community site mykirklands.com.  This video was originally shot, cut, and edited by redpepper. While they did a great job with the initial editing, I felt it could use a little more polish in the opening and closing art-cards, as well as some effects to spotlight the product being talked about in the videos.

Edited using Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3), Adobe After Effects (CS3), Adobe Soundbooth (CS3), Adobe Flash (CS3-4), Adobe Photoshop (CS3-4), Adobe Illustrator (CS3-4).

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was commissioned by DC Comics artist, Freddie E Williams II, to design a 10 second video intro for his multi-video series on digital comic art tools. In addition to the video intro sequence (Adobe After Effects CS3), I had to edit his audio (Adobe Soundbooth CS3) and also his screen capture video (Adobe Premiere Pro CS3).

side note: Freddie and I developed our professional relationship (and then friendship) first through working on a comic book mini-series called Project Eon. I plotted the story and we both co-scripted the mini-series. Freddie provided the pencil art while I co-inked it with another artist. More on the project later&#8230;]]></content:encoded>
