Freeform - Rebrand Mondo

Had the incredible pleasure of helping ABC Family rebrand their network as a fresh, vibrant, and authentic home for "becomers".  I helmed 5 separate teams (2 photography, 3 A/V), shooting over two days, with a crew totaling nearly 220 people.  It was an All-Star week-end, working with some of my favorite peeps in every category: DPs Andrew Turman & Rhet Bear, Producer Chris Stoerchle, AD Todd Lent, The Rhoads, Andrew Stanton, Dave Besdesky, Tim Shinkle, Cara McKenny, Susan Harris, my entire LK family, and a client who was actually excited to take a risk. 

Nike React - Game of Go

Had the great pleasure of working with Wieden Kennedy again, this time on a docu-style Nike React event that featured interviews, Instagram Stories, social ads, and plenty of laughs with Todd Gurley, Ashton Eaton, Carmelita Jeter and the  Big Easy's own Stan Verrett.  (Love that Stan raced in his suit -- nothing but class, that guy!)

Harry Potter - 'Hogwarts Mystery'

Had the distinct pleasure of working with Ichi Worldwide, Fictitious Films, Jam City, Christopher Tait, Steven Steiner, and a few hundred flying envelopes on this little gem.

USA Today - VR / 360

I was fortunate to enough to work with USA Today & Andy Cochrane on this mind-blowing parkour adventure featuring the high-flying, impossibly amazing, Tempest Freerunning Academy. We had the best-of-the-best VR/360 Crew, shooting in an 'airlplane boneyard' -- and more laughs, sunburns, and backflips than we'll ever be able to count.  Throw on your headset and experience it for yourself.

TNT Drama - 'Boom'

TNT was introducing their new 'Boom' campaign, and wanted honest emotional answers. I created an 'Inside the Actors Studio' setting in which I asked Talent personal questions about their lives (How did you feel when your son was born? What will be the last thing you say before you die? ) And the only answer the could respond with was the word...

AMC - Feed The Beast 'Chef Special'

loyalkaspar produced this fantastic teaser starring David Schwimmer & Jim Sturgess.  A pleasure working with the AMC family and heavy hitters like NYC Producer Phil Erney, DP Andrew Turman, Creative Lead Dave Abel, and Editor extraordinaire John Thompson.
