Video Production

I'm happy to see this getting some watches, however, it was not my intention to push this out yet. There are MANY things wrong with the current production: 1) I need to redo my voiceover, 2) Dr. Snyder's video is a little soft (I need to reshoot), 3) I need a Hindu expert, either a practicing Hindu or a professor of world religions, for example, to interview 4) I don't have permission to use George Harrison's song yet. I wanted to use this more as a treatment example to work on getting the whole project funded properly versus calling this a truly completed film. Still, since it's out here, I could use some serious suggestions on how to improve it, which might also help future videos for this project. My wife just can't stand to watch it any longer. I don't pretend to be a filmmaker because this is my first film, so I can't call myself that until it's done! Also, how did you find this? What did you search for? I'm curious because I entered no keywords or anything. I simply uploaded it. In fact, I searched for "hindu religion" and this didn't list.

Hurricane Ian hit Florida on September 28, 2022. It was forecasted to cross the central part of the state, making its way through Polk County. The largest populated area there is Lakeland. The hurricane reached Lakeland around 8 p.m. and I was there.

Big Bend National Park is in southwest Texas and includes the entire Chisos mountain range and a large swath of the Chihuahuan Desert. I visited the park in July and the weather was amazing. While hot, the dry air was comfortable, especially in the late afternoon/evening. On our drive out of the park, around 10:30 p.m., the stars were brilliant!

Located in the southwest corner of Utah, Zion National Park is a nature preserve distinguished by Zion Canyon’s steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through the park, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. We drove through Zion twice, reversing the gate-to-gate drive. While the park also offers majestic trails and a unique bus tour, we were unable to experience either. Our goal was to visit as many national parks in a month, so we were pressed for time. In hindsight, I would have loved to at least do the bus tour, as it goes to different parts of the park. While the goal was to visit as many parks as possible, my true motive was to show my daughter (and production assistant) how big and beautiful the world is, while grabbing as many minutes with her as possible before she grows up.

Another golf cart commercial advertisement for social media and such. It may surprise some how many hours go into such short ads. Every effect potentially ads an hour to the project!

A lifestyle ad for Garia, a luxury golf cart manufacturer. This was fun!

A twelve-part educational series about the various worldviews that have existed throughout history, featuring author and professor, Dr. Alan Snyder.

Another example of parish engagement using video. The program is designed to help the viewer focus and meditate on their connection with God.

Part 1 of a series of gorilla marketing videos for the city of Valparaiso, Indiana. What started out as a way to express my frustration after getting a parking ticket quickly turned into a positive, with over 60K views on Facebook.
