This is a broadcast ad for a Personal Injury Attorney for the Winter season. To catch attention I animated images and videos to come together as a cube while we're seeing a POV of driving down a snowy highway. I decided the music and imagery alone was enough to drive the ad, per se and didn't add a voiceover.

I've been using my voice professionally for decades nationwide. Here are some various excerpts from promos, ads, and other productions.

This was a very unique and unusual POLITICAL ATTACK GAME SHOW AD. I got a photo of the opponent and had a friend draw a caricature of it. I then proceeded to animate his mouth and facial gestures. I wrote and voiced the script and then mixed and edited the audio and video. I also had to build all of the text and graphic elements you see.

This was an ad I created for a judicial candidate. It was specifically designed to illustrate key endorsements to blue collar demos. I found some stock footage of a conveyor belt with a rotating cylinder. From there, I built a graphic of the plunger mechanism and animated to come down and seemingly press-in the images seen. I of course had to build the graphics as well and animate where seen. I couldn't find the version with my full voice over but you'll get the idea.

Not too long ago, I had to make a video for an Agri-Tourism farm that has a large petting farm. IN ADDITION, they added something called "THE BIRDWALK" where kids could feed over 300 parakeets with seed sticks. My direction was to make it a fun, family oriented and something kids would like to watch so they would pester their mothers to take them! Finding just the right music took hours but once found, I got to work with the soundtrack singing, voices, animations and visuals. I'm doing all of the voices. I didn't have any B-Roll footage but had a lot of really cute photos to use. This is how it came out and the owners said, "A lot of mothers went out of their way to say, their kids pleaded with them to visit!" '-) It worked extremely well for its intended purpose.

A political client wanted a TV & Online ad with BULLET points! I warned him that bullet points could be kinda "boring" but then said, "Wait a minute!" "You're a SHERIFF who has a gun AND bullets!" With that, I used his badge, shrunk the center section in animation which revealed chambers for the bullets to enter, from off screen. I made sure to add just the right sound effects for the animation I created. I then instructed the remote cameraman to shoot him saying thank you without his "badge" on. Since the campaign was to KEEP him Sheriff, my badge flies into the scene and onto his chest.

I've done a lot of broadcast ads and online work for Tuxedo/Bridal chains around the country for years. One chain in Indiana wanted something really "off the wall" for their senior high school prom season. I suggested we have two of their store "mannequins" imagining "themselves" going to the prom! This was an online and on-air piece that got a lot of attention and laughs...and yes BUSINESS! A great year for the client's prom season! Sadly, it's 16:9 so cropped here but you'll get the idea.

I do and have done a fair amount of work for Professional Haunted Events and Theme Parks that attract over 50k people. Although this video is cropped because it's 16:9 and not 4:3, you'll get the idea. I was tasked with creating a video for one haunt's hayride theme called, "The Night of the Raven." I wrote a spin-off of Poe's poem and then voiced and created the soundtrack. I then created the graphic elements along with other imagery and edited it all using three different software products. It was a huge success for them.

I had just designed a new business card for an attorney and then had an idea of using his business card as the focal point of a television ad that dealt with DUI/DWI cases. I created and voiced this ad and it worked quite well for him. What was interesting is that I found some stock footage of the side profile of an attorney in a courtroom and it looked like my client. Ergo, I had my client record the line on his cell phone and send it to me. This is how it turned out.
