Occasionally, a project comes along that pushes the limits of both creative problem-solving and technical expertise. I teamed up with Yonder Content and director Brian Neaman for a series of spots for the New Jersey Lottery — a deceptively simple brief that ended up requiring a precise blend of choreography, high-speed motion control, and a lot of light. With a Bolt high-speed robotic arm and the Phantom Flex 4K in the mix, capturing the required sequences meant dialing in a seamless, single-take shot that unfolded in less than five seconds.
When working at up to 1000 fps, even the smallest deviation in timing or exposure can unravel the entire shot. The results are a testament to what’s possible when complex technical setups, meticulous blocking, and lighting converge.
Had a fun time working on this NextStar campaign with an abundance of talent all around. The incomparable @nikkiallthetime kept us continually laughing, while this star dog hit his mark every take & even expressed emotion! The cats, well, not so much.😹

What happens when you park a top-secret wrapped truck in a not-so-secret place?
New work for @volvotrucksna , filmed on a sunny day at a Dallas truck stop in early December. Always fun to get tasked with a top secret mission, especially when I have @yondercontent@versus.creative.studio@baldwin_and@drummtime & @woolfdop on the job with me.

Everyone’s favorite band @the10sacks are back singing about that White Castle goodness!
We had so much fun bringing this spot from concept to reality. The set was a laugh-out-loud fest. To say the band — @jawanjackson , @quincy_giles40 , @mreddiecooper & @rickyounger — is made up of renaissance men would be an understatement. These gents can act, sing and are all funny as hell.
Check out their latest track “Crave Clutch Shuffle” on Spotify — expertly composed, mixed and produced by @rzeitlin .
Shout out to nimble DP @derekmckanedp and his keen eye.
Big ups to the team at @merkleypartners@yondercontent@versus.creative.studio

Filmed this Panera at Home campaign well into the wee hours of the morning at Corrado’s supermarket in Wayne, NJ a few months ago. We laughed, we cried, we shivered by the refrigerator section.
Shout out to DP @woolfdop and his keen eye — and actress @janebradleynyc and her keen eyebrow, the perfect punctuation to her daring act of hunger-fueled thievery.
Yes, we did get to take some Panera product home, and, yes, I am possibly a hoarder.

When you hear a rumble in your chimney this Christmas eve, check and make sure Santa Barkley isn’t in need of some help. He’s just trying to share some FanDuel cheer to the sports enthusiasts among us.
This was a blast to film over at @BeElectricStudio in Brooklyn. Epic work from @AndyLilien on lighting and camera and from Alan Bruckner on production design.
