Last month I showcased a technical/support video project (read the post: Supporting the Support) that we began in 2014 and continue to update for that particular product. Keep that in mind and know that one of the challenges of my position is that I’m the only video/media person in the […]

Supporting the Support
Whenever I start to think that my portfolio isn’t meaty enough, or that I’m not publishing often enough, I try to gently remind myself that the vast majority of my projects (both at work and for freelance clients) is for internal/personal use only. Weeks of my life every year are […]
Smart Phone Nature Photography
When a friend asked Matthew and I (as well as another biologist friend of ours) to help with the Earth Day Celebration she was putting together at the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park, we were all about it. Matthew created a poster and pulled samples of local invasive plants, our other […]
Tough Subjects, in audio
In the fall of 2014 I attended the RTC staff retreat. I felt like very much the outcast, their video person in a beach house full of writers, written word editors, operations people, etc… when everyone broke into their teams or discussed their processes, I was completely left out. The […]
Double Product Launches, year two
Just about this time last year, I posted two product videos that were recently released. This year, we did the same. Learning from our 2014 mistakes, our 2015 selves (same team, one year wiser) put a month in between the filming of the two product videos. Some items (like booking […]
How do we measure particles?
Once we had the first 28 seconds of the fun ReactIR animation put together I started showing it to colleagues, to see who else would get hooked and want to publish an animation as well. This project built off the previous, but since the point is to explain exactly how […]
How does ReactIR work? (Or, my second After Effects animation)
For as long as I’ve known about After Effects, I’ve wanted to become a wizard with it. I got a decent taste of it last year with my “How EasySampler works” animation, and my colleagues were pretty blown away that we can now show, in real time, things that can’t […]
Vintage Comics
Matthew and I have spent quite a lot of our free time lately with friends at the Nerdporium. When the owner wanted to start posting items online I got excited and quickly took over the @nerdporium Instagram. The valuable things, however, I brought carefully into my light box to show off […]
#tbt Madison, WI
#‎tbt‬ February 2012, on patrol with the Challengers in Madison, WI. I was contacted by Scandinavian Traveler magazine about using this photo in their Sept issue with a story by Tea Krulos. Working with Real Life Superheroes is one of my favorite memories and I was more than happy to […]
Wedding in a Box
Or, my wedding in a light box. I’m not one for knick-knacks or trinkets or anything in that attracts dust, so throughout the wedding process I looked for items that were reusable, disposable, or that could simply be cut altogether. So when the guests left and the dust settled the […]
