Cracking the Inner Code Seminar Opening

Cracking the Inner Code is a powerful seminar aimed at helping people learn more about why they behave the way their do, and how to achieve greater happiness through that understanding. It takes a multi-disciplined support which doesn't just focus on body or mind, but on both. It helps connect the bond between physical and mental well-being and teaches how to strengthen it. It has been my privilege to film two different seminars and now to start working on a video series to extend the reach of the program.
Currently Dr. Jim Kaiser is essentially the only person who is able to give this seminar, but he is looking for ways to get the message to more people. This is a first glimpse at the opening for the seminar. It isn't a fully finished product yet, but I am pleased with it and wanted to show it off a bit. I'd love to hear any comments that you might have!

Family Togetherness

This family is unconventional, but family nonetheless. This is Kathy and her daughter.




Kathy is roommates with her friend, Krystle.





This is Krystle's dog. Isn't he just so cute?

One more of the dog because I just couldn't resist this face!

Together they are one big, happy family!

New Headshots

Ann is a Theatre Major and contacted me recently for some new head shots. Here are a few of my personal favorites!



Christmas for Daddy

These girls wanted to surprise their Dad/Husband with some cute Christmas/Family pictures! This was such a fun shoot!



This Jeep is a big deal in their family. They love this thing!




My husband and I have been playing around with my logo and some fun ways to display it. This was one of our favorites.




Horses are another big thing with their family, so we went down to see their horses and took some fun pictures.

The Christmas Village

Every Christmas I like to make a Christmas movie to get into the spirit of the season, and as a nice souvenir. After my time in Argentina I made, “How the Gaucho Stole Christmas”, and the following year brought, “The Punisher Christmas Special”. I had to break from Christmas filmmaking for a couple of years, and this year I wanted to come back with a vengeance. This year's project, "The Christmas Village" has been several years in the making.

For a long time I had wanted to make a movie about someone getting sucked into a Christmas Village, but it never came together. This year I finally had everything I needed to make it happen. It was a fun project and a big undertaking but I am really proud of what I have been able to do on no budget.

I have worked with green screening several times before, but this was the first large project I have attempted that was green screened. I learned a lot and the screening came out great. Many of my favorite actors came back for this project. Jimmy Hepworth, my favorite town heckler takes a lead role. Tom Arnold is back in the role of a tall and grumpy man. I was also happy to welcome Josh Twitchell and my sister Emily into the production.

I hope to have the video up soon but in the meantime here are a few screenshots to whet your appetite.










Black Hat Media/Brandall Films Demo Reel

Some of the productions I have worked on have been Black Hat Media and some have been Brandall Films. This is a compilation of some of the best of both production labels. This is a great sampling of some of my After Effects work, my directing work, and a few just for fun projects. This also showcases some of the work I have done for my clients. Some of the clients featured include: PerfectNotes Inc., New Play Project, Xpressions!, Zion Theatre Company, Aamco Medical, and White Field Media. I will soon be creating a new demo reel to feature work for New Grains Gluten Free Bakery, The Utah Laser Center, and Cracking the Inner Code.

New Play Project: Pioneers in Values Driven Theater

New Play Project is an organization with a big goal: to help the little guy. As an organization they are focused on creating values driven theatre and helping writers and actors hone their talents. I have been impressed with the group's talent and dedication as well as the quality of many of their productions. It was my honor to help make a 3 part DVD highlighting the group's growth and potential. This is one of the three parts, in my opinion it is the strongest portion of the DVD. As the videographer for Black Hat Media it is my goal to make every client look their best, and I was very pleased with the image I was able to help New Play Project create.
