I produced this video with FASTFORWARD Media LLC in collaboration with 360Durango.com for an industrial client in Farmington, New Mexico. PESCO is a local start-up that rapidly developed into one of the largest employers in the region. The company grew so fast that they needed help recruiting new employees, so we produced a recruitment video. Additionally, we put together “The PESCO Story” video to highlight the companies commitment not only to quality oil and gas processing equipment, but their commitment to a healthy work environment.
It was a pleasure to work alongside Angie Beach of Music in the Mountains, and all the amazing musicians who put on the world class summer concert series to put together a fundraising video for their organization. I produced this video for FASTFORWARD Media, LLC along with the help of Deborah Uroda.

A real estate video tour provides a potential home buyer with a sense of depth and perspective of the home that can not be captured in still photos. The pan-tracking system I use for these video tours give the prospective home buyer a sense of movement through the home and an ability to admire the three-dimensional elements of each room. Realtors representing high-end properties often use video to thoroughly capture impressive spaces, where photos couldn’t quite do them justice.
I have worked with multiple realtor agencies including Coldwell Banker Heritage House Realtors, Keller Williams Reality Southwest Associates, The Wells Group and Durango Mountain Realty. In April 2014, I developed a real estate program for Inside Durango TV and FASTFORWARD Media featuring home videos tours. Many of the clips in this sample reel are from home tours that aired on the 30 minute television show alongside information segments featuring information about understanding mortgages and tips for first time home-buyers.
These videos were shot on the Canon 5D Mark III. If you didn’t notice, the first clip in this reel was taken from a HDR real estate video I produced recently. The sunlit exterior of the home was sharply contrasted by a large oak tree shading beautiful landscaping in the front yard. Using Magic Lantern I was able to capture both elements of the front of the home. Drone video work is available for property aerials and flybys.
This home exterior was shot with HDR video workflow for Nicole Perino of the Wells Group. The sunlit exterior of the home was sharply contrasted by a large oak tree shading beautiful landscaping in the front yard. Using an HDR video workflow I was able to capture both elements of the front of the home.
The wedding film above is a sample of some of my most recent wedding videography work. I had the pleasure of being invited along on this exclusive stylized winter wedding shoot to work with top wedding vendors in Telluride, Colorado. The shoot was organized by Utterly Engaged magazine and creative director Lucia Dinh Pador, and I spent the day working with the incredible photographer Candace Cross. Our lovely model Clara from Model Team Aspen brought effortless elegance and grace to the shoot which resulted in a magnificent final product for the magazine.
This unique rural wedding took place in Mancos, Colorado on the wedding couple’s farm property. Everything from the dusty atmospherics of the farmland, the unique Mesa Verde horizon at sunset, a beautifully constructed tent venue and a performance by Pokey LeFarge made this a wedding day like no other.
