Selected Work


“Twenty Somethings”

Season 1 / NETFLIX

This was one of the top trending shows on Netflix, which had the world glued to their TV screens. Inspired by Terrace House, this was Netflix’s first attempt at blending both Eastern and Western markets and audiences together in one show.

I had the pleasure of acting as both the lead editor and creative consultant on the entire season, mainly in charge of choosing all the music for the entire season as well as other creative choices for the look and feel of the show.

McDonalds

Commercial

This was a commercial I edited and creative directed with TBWA Hakuhodo Tokyo for the McDonalds campaign, which promoted their purple yam shake.

“Detroit: comeback city”

Trailer

This was a trailer that I edited in three days starting with hundreds of hours of documentary video materials.

I worked completely alone as a preditor writing the script and choosing the entire artistic direction of the story told.

I also worked closely with a composer to design the right music.

Paramount Network

Trailer

This was a trailer I edited, which launched the entire Paramount network.

I also worked as creative manager and director who oversaw the motion graphics artists to create the look and movement of the piece.

Music choices were mine as well.

Promo Commercial and TV and Live Show

For many years, I story produced and edited the show, “American Idol.”

This show won several prestigious Emmy awards and is one the highest rated shows of all time in America.

My time on American Idol was a perfect example of a 360 degree work experience starting out with pre recorded media all the way through the live shows.

From time to time, I also edited promotional material for the show such as this.

Lady Gaga and Jeff koons

Live Concert

This was a live broadcast concert for Lady Gaga’s album “Art Pop” release.

I acted as art manager/director for this live show. I also directed and edited this piece, which aired mid show.

I was responsible for interviewing artist Jeff Koons and Lady Gaga to create several BTS clips for the show.

These videos also aired as online content.

Critics choice Movie awards

Award Show Packages and Super Trailer

For over a decade now, I have worked on the most prestigious award shows in the US from the Emmy Awards to the Academy Awards and more.

For this particular award show, I worked completely solo creating every single nomination package as well as the opening super trailer.

I edited this piece in just two weeks after many rounds of notes from the network. The challenge was to get every nominated film from the year into one 2:30 minute trailer.

Over a decade later, this trailer still holds up very well, and remains my favorite piece I’ve edited. Perhaps because I watched Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and every actor who appears in this trailer give this piece a standing ovation after watching it at the awards ceremony.
