Promos
I started producing and editing promos on non-linear editors in 1997. I’ve created image spots, news topicals, syndicated entertainment promos, PSAs and community event spots on deadlines ranging from weeks to minutes and budgets from thousands to zero.
Here are some of my favorite promos from the last few years. I produced and edited each of these spots and either created or directed creation of graphics used in them.
