SONY: Forever Knight: The Trilogy Part Three DVD
I designed and edited 8 Forever Knight Music Videos for special features on the season 3 DVD set. Sony included 3 of the music videos I created (the other 5 could not be featured due to music licensing). The videos that will be featured are Black Rose, Touch the Night, and The Hunger.
Since Forever Knight was the series to inspire me to pursue video editing, I was very thrilled to be a part of this project. The series will always hold a very special place in my heart and the thought of the cast and crew seeing my videos on the DVD set brings me great joy. Thank you Sony for giving me this opportunity!
Professional Reviews:
The five-disc set includes all 22 episodes of the third season, and is rounded out by a trio of appropriately dark and evocative music videos created from series footage. - Paul Gaita (Amazon)
The only extras included this time were three music videos that used footage from the show and combined it to some rather pleasant music with romantic overtones. They were assembled by fellow Texan, Kristin Harris, a talented young lady in school to become a professional in the field. Kudos to Kristin's three music videos (Black Rose, The Hunger, and Touch the Night) for being better produced then many of the episodes were. - Don Houston (DVDTalk)
Less understandable is the dearth of extras. The three music videos that form the entirety of the extras are actually quite good, with polished effects and nice montages of clips from the show. The music videos give me a taste of what the previous seasons might have been like. - DVD Verdict

Supernatural Trailer - CW Making the Cut Contest - Finalist & 2nd Place Winner - Youtube
In April 2007 I entered a promo contest for the CW’s Supernatural TV show. They offered a contest for college students. It was quite an honor to be one of the final nine featured at the huge conference in NY and I won 2nd place (I read about 8,000 people were at the conference). I used Gary Numan's "I Can't Breathe" for background music. Created: 4/15/07 Reviews (148) | Send Review
Are Friends Electric? - Apple Commercial- Youtube
This project is a special collaboration with my friend Rick Bell, who is in marketing. Rick is meeting with Apple and at that meeting he will be pitching a contest in which contestants create Apple MacBook ads featuring Numan songs and other independent artists. I just finished creating one such commercial featuring the Hybrid version of "Are Friends Electric."
There might even be an opportunity to get Apple interested in using this music in their advertising--"Are Friends Electric" is a great tagline for the MacBook.
Rick filmed all the footage and I edited all the material adding effects, etc. I was also very involved with the storyline and developing key elements of this ad.
Are Friends Electric? This question is answered with a MacBook ad featuring the Hybrid 2003 version of Gary Numan’s #1 Single. And you thought he only did Cars… Created: 6/6/07 Reviews (100) | Send Review
