My Trip To London

What a whirlwind the end of the year has been! If you follow me on social media then you know for the first week and a half I was in London for HPE's Discover Conference.  I spent the first week of December at the ExCeL Center in the Docklands interviewing different companies about their HPE products.

Recently HP (Hewlett Packard) split into two new companies HP Inc and HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise).  For the second half of 2015 I spent much of my time co-producing content with Big Picture Lab for this conference. 

Once the work was done, I stayed a few extra days in London to take in the sites! 

Trying some Butter Beer at the Harry Potter Studio Tour

Mr. Hallease came to join me for 3 days in London, and we tried to jam in a lot of the major sites into the visit.  We ended our stay by doing The Making of Harry Potter Warner Brother's Studio Tour! As a producer, it was so much fun seeing the attention to detail and the creativity behind all the different sets and various props. I, of course, took my camera and documented a little bit of our experience while in London, but to be honest, I didn't record as much as I usually do. I really just wanted to soak everything in, and enjoy the fruits of my hard earned labor this last quarter. 

I broke up our adventures into two videos. The first catalogs my time spent at the Natural History Museum. The second video focuses on all the different things Mr. Hallease and I did once he joined me. 

2015 has been a great year for me in regards to Travel.  I've left the country 3 times, twice for vacation and once for work, and have gotten the opportunity to see parts of the US that I would not visit otherwise.  I hope in 2016 it's more of the same!

#BTS | HP Discover Vegas

If you follow me on Instagram then you know I was at HP Discover in Las Vegas earlier this month.  While there we got some great footage that we'll use for videos soon to come.  

I cut together this quick one minute video to give an idea of the amazing energy at the conference while also promoting a lot of the videos that premiered there.  Make sure to check out the annotations at the end to see that content.

A Big Picture Lab Production

This video was very pre-production intensive.  The goal was to show the versatility of the product within an office space so, the executive producer/director, Raina James, came up with the idea of using a single take walking through an office space. 

We worked with casting and choreography to block out all of the movement as well as set dressing. This is one of the coolest videos for a tech company I've co-produced by far. I love the sleek design.  

While on set I also put together a behind the scenes showcasing the complexity of the project as well as the work done in post production. 

Let me know what you think! 

Big Picture Lab - 2015 Sizzle Reel

The majority of my production work is done with Big Picture Lab, a production company based in Austin, Texas and California.  This year the company sizzle reel looks AMAZING! I'm so excited for you all to see it. Every snippet that you see in the video I have collaborated with BPL in some way, whether that be co - producing, editing, color correction, set decoration, or a combination of them all.

Take a look and let me know what you think.  Check out more of Big Picture Lab's work on their vimeo page.  The company is currently redesigning the website as soon as it is up I'll let you know.
