I've been producing video shorts since my early childhood. I'm proud to present to you the best of the best. After hours of careful watching of old VHS and Hi-8 tapes, I've selected the best and most entertaining examples.

My brother and I come from a showbiz background. Our father is a stagehand a video director, so we've spent much of our lives backstage and amongst entertainers. To entertain our family at parties we would produce skits and commercials like this one. We never deliberately sought to be funny with these videos, but it cracked the audience up at every screening. ©1996

I'd always been interested in VFX and compositing, but until I got my hands on a digital camcorder I could never jump into working with a program like After Effects. Two for One is my very first experiment with any kind of digital effects way back during my freshman year of highschool. I've come a long way since then, but it still holds up pretty well. Simplicity is my friend. ©2001

I actually started my filmmaking career as a stop-motion animator whilst in the 3rd grade. Those early experimentations are forever locked in my vault of embarassing art. You will never see those. I will show you the film that won me (and my crew) a handful of awards. The story goes that during my senior year of highschool a group of likeminded friends and I found out about a film contest. Each crew had 30 days to write, shoot, edit and score a 5 minute film. Against our better judgement, I decided to make a 5 minute long stop-motion animation. We won third place (though I think we should have won first) at the eIncubator Collaboration contest, and First place in editing at the Ft. Lauderdale Film Festival. ©2004
