I was attached to the Boston Marathon takeover campaign.
Addition to video graphics, I was lucky enough to pitch the copy that ended up in the final campaign as well.
With a very small budget we brainstormed ways to share our message in 6-15 second online videos. Using text animation and music or voice-over to share our message is a great way to save money on photography. Read the case study here

I produced hundreds of 10-15 second graphic videos while working at the casino. Inside and outside the casino there are about 80 screen in 5 sizes. Here are just a few examples of typical videos I made in After Effects.
Inside the Gun Lake Casino are three large restaurants; each with their own look and ffeel. There are huge TV menu boards outside each one. Photography and menu's rotate with any specials or events they might have. Each graphic item had to rotate or change in some way to prevent screen burn since these play 24/7. Casino menu's change a lot , so these were updated a often.
I wanted to include some of non-typical graphics I created while working at Gun Lake Casino. I created ribbon graphics for the local sports arena. We often sponsored many events and would create graphics that played on the ribbon LED screens during games. We had excellent branding and I was given some freedom to go beyond the normal to really make these standout.
The casino also owned the gas station across the street. Gas station advertisements are a fun challenge because of how short they are. I took this video at the actual gas pump of one of my videos.
One way to share what happens behind the scenes in a veterinary clinic is to have a tour video. We wanted to highlight the staff and the many services offered at AMC. I was welcomed to photograph and video the clinic one day. This video played in the clinic lobby for many years until there was a lot of turned over and was eventually retired.
During Covid veterinary clients couldn't come into the building and most interactions where over the phone. I was brought in to create a serious of videos to showcase our veterinarians, talking about routine care items that are normally discussed about face-to-face. We recored many videos, vet introduction and routine care with a variety of the staff. This is one example of our routine care videos.
Feel Good Fridays was a project from our PR director at Gun Lake Casino. Every week we featured donations, blood drives or any of the many philanthropy projects. I created a little intro video that opened up the segment.
