Made for The Miami Experts starring its president Jackson Keddell. This video is an educational Youtube format video meant to inform and build an audience at the same time.

This is a message intro I made for Ed Young's series Open Heart at Fellowship Church. I used Adobe After Effects for most of the effects and Premiere to put it all together. This is the Director's Cut, the original concept. The biggest difference is the old film grain look and cut away shots.

Here's a funny promo for Ed Young's Series Open Heart at Fellowship Church. Created for promotion through our various social media accounts. It was a ton of fun working with talent to make this as funny as possible and as quickly as possible.

Producer: Magdiel Lopez

Shot in Downtown Dallas in under 4 hours including drive times between locations.

Retouched in AE and used Warp Stabilizer no motion effect for still shots.

Here's a piece that played as an element during our Mothers Day Service of 2017. The painting of footage was created by filming paint strokes on canvas using a Macro lens. Then in after effects I rotoscoped the brush to give it the reveal effect.

Series Intro I made for New Testament Baptist Church called We Are NTBC.

I hand picked from hundreds of photos over the church’s rich history. Scanned them and built this whole video in a combination on Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.

I created the logo build. The track I found. I also recorded the voice over, mixed it, and helped with the script. Completed in less than a week.

A message intro for Pastor Ed Young's sermon series YOYO at Fellowship Church. Most of the editing style remained in the final version but the track and look of the footage changed significantly. That's why I made this director's cut of the intro.

I've learned and grown so much this past year. Much of my growth can be attributed to those people who took the time to share their knowledge and experience with me. 2016 was a great year and I believe the best is yet to come!

All footage, other than the war scenes (which I Directed), were shot by me.

I worked on this short for my Directing 2 course during my 2nd year at the University of Central Florida's Film B.F.A. program.

As legal tensions rise over constitutional rights, rebellion breaks out in Texas. America slowly stumbles into a second civil war while Danny remains ignorant of the signs. But when the war finally hits home, he's forced to adapt in order to survive and finds himself transforming into a man he never thought he could be.
