Nickelodeon: Tooned In

Tooned In is a game show from the 90's Nickelodeon brought back in 2021. I was asked to join the team as the lead AE on the project. Our team was a 5:2 ratio. The project lasted a little over 2 months. We worked in premiere pro and after effects using multicam's and proxy footage to cut with. This was all during COVID - 19 so we were doing all of this show remotely into the MPE studio. The project was a lot of fun and the team on this project was amazing.

Our Cartoon President

On the scripted TV show Our Cartoon President, I worked as an assistant editor. This role involved delivering shows to the network, creating, managing, and delivering all ancillery deliverables like textless files, music files, as well as reports. I also assisted the editors in the current shows work. This included turning over animatics to the animation department and turning over audio to our mixer. This would also sometimes include grabbing certain files or helping with general work needs for the current episode. To the left is a special video we did as a special for Stephan Colbert's Late Night show that went on to win a 2021 Emmy Award-winning Variety Special.

Another type of video I worked on with Our Cartoon President was assisting with our social department.

One of the social videos I edited is posted below.


MTV: TRL

When working at Viacom, I worked specifically on the MTV show TRL Top 10 and TRL Fresh Out Fridays. To the left is a clip from one of our Top 10 episodes. On TRL Top 10 I worked as an assistant eidtor to three editors. My job at MTV involved prepping projects, managing media, delivering elements to our studio crew, prepping elements for the monitors to play on during the tapping, and delivering the shows to the network. During this show I coordinated with not only all three of our editors, but also our post producer, associate producers, producers, TD, director, and AD.

Welcomes April

Welcomes April is a short film I began working on in the summer of 2016. I had been wanting to produce and edit a short film so I recruited some people I was working with at the time and we drew up Welcomes April. We finished filming this short in November of 2016 and completed the film in January of 2017. To the left is the finished product. As of now Welcomes April has been selected to screen at selected festivals around the state and region.

Software Used: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Pro Tools, and DaVinci

Roles: Producer and Editor

Project Info

When editing Welcomes April I waited to begin processing through the footage until we were at least two shoots through the project. This allowed me to remove myself from being on set and look at everything with a fresh perspective. I then cut each scene together in separate sequences to focus on that particular scene, focusing on transitioning in and out of the scene at a later date. The video below shows the first edit for the opening scene in the film. Keep in mind while watching these videos that these are the rough edits and are before any color and audio work.


After watching the original cut for the second scene you can see the changes made to the final edit of the film. Some changes were minor and subtle, but other changes influenced major pacing throughout. The next video below this paragraph is the first cut of the entire film. There are many subtle changes throughout, the major one’s being the montage as well as the transitions in and out of scenes. This cut is one we did before our first screening of the film.

Now if you go back to the main video on the left you can see a comparison of each of the edits.

Resonant Pictures

While working with Resonant Pictures for about three months, I worked with two editors in studio and on remote. As the assistant editor for Resonant Pictures I was in charge of organizing, ingesting, creating multicam sequences, pulling selects, and creating stringouts. I also assisted for a day on set as the on set editor, DIT, and content supervisor. I worked on two different projects for Resonant Pictures. The main project I worked on was ACUE featured in the project info button, and the other project was for Maddison Square Garden's in association with Coke, Budlight, and Chase for the Phillip Phillips, Joywave, Liam Payne, and Kyle concerts. One of the concerts is featured on the left.
