Video Samples of Client-published Projects
Visions transformed into reality (Documentary-Commercial-Trailers-Instructionals-Reality-more)
These video samples below are more recent, from the last 5-7 years of my career (which spans back a bit, since the middle of the 90s when I started) and give a small taste of the many varied video projects that have been completed and aired by clients (i.,e, these have been officially published "on air" on their websites and/or on TV networks & apps, streaming platforms, theaters, or other video online sites)
*** More video samples continue to be added (July 2025) ***
Please note, due to the many years of my work (20+), there are more projects not mentioned below and are too numerous to include on this website. However, to get a wider sense of what I've done, you can check out my resume that covers my 20+ years of work, in order to get more ideas about the many varieties of clients and their projects done over the years.
If you would like more video samples--and from the older years, basically pre-Covid 2020 (not just recently in the last 5-7 years), such as those from listed on my resume--please contact me anytime, and I can provide more client-published video samples (and, when we discuss your project, I can elaborate about how my past experience can relate to your project type).
Thank you for your interest!
For more work sample requests, please contact me anytime.
