The Goldman Environmental Prize Mill Valley Film Group, producers The Goldman Environmental Prize is given each year to six environmental heroes- one from each of the six continental regions. Each recipient receives a $125,000 award. For the awards ceremony in San Francisco, I edited 3 of the six videos that introduced and showcased each recipient. I also created a short opening video (built in After Effects) that highlights the ongoing affects that the award recipients have contributed to our planet. This first clip is the story of Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla and their efforts to confront Union Carbide after the 1984 Bohpal, India chemical disaster. The second clip is the opening video for the awards ceremony.

"In the Light of Reverence" Sacred Land Film Project Toby McCleod producer. This 72 minute documentary recently aired nationally on PBS. It tells the story of three Native American cultures- the Lakota at Devil's Tower, the Hopi in the four corners area of Arizona, and the Wintu at Mt. Shasta, and their struggles to maintain their stewardship of their lands in the face of immense pressures from rock climbers, miners, and even new age practitioners. This beautiful and incredibly important film touched my heart and it was a privilege to work on it. I came into the project late, provided some additional editing, a lot of technical supervision, some graphics and animation, and did the final online.
"CRS Video" Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. Here's the intro for a video that Fireman's Fund used to recruit new employees to their Customer Research & Strategies department. Notice how we stressed lifestyle (exciting bay area activities) over specifics of the insurance industry (not very exciting). I did all editing
"Chino" Banana Republic Banana Republic needed a little video roll-in to highlight their new "Chino" advertising campaign. My good friend (and great editor), Will Parinello started this edit, and I added the finishing touches.
"Wyland's Ocean World" Animal Planet This 13-part series was produced for Hit Entertainment and aired on Animal Planet. They decided that Wyland, "famous" artist of seascapes would make a great host for 30-minute films examining the fascinating, beautiful creatures of the sea. I'll let you be the judge... I animated the intro, (working with a designer who had done numerous intros for Animal Planet) and did the online edit for the series.
