Media and live theatre may seem like different worlds, but even stage productions need cinematic storytelling, from sizzle reels to promotional trailers and commercials. With an extensive background in theatre, I love blending my passion for live performance with my post-production expertise. For these projects, I handled every element, from graphics and design to finishing, entirely within the Adobe Creative Suite. I take pride in capturing the emotion and atmosphere of seeing a show live, translating the magic of the stage into engaging, visually rich media.
Surf! The Musical
Surf! The Musical at Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino was a high-energy spectacle, featuring triple-threat performers, projection effects, and even several hot rods on stage. Using Adobe Creative Suite, I produced a full suite of promotional content from trailers and sizzle reels to animated signage. It was all cut and timed to the show’s iconic songs and choreography. My goal was to capture the excitement, emotion, and fun of experiencing the musical live, delivering a cohesive promotional package that matched the show’s larger-than-life energy.
Whole World Improv Theatre
For the 30th anniversary of Atlanta’s landmark Whole World Improv Theatre, I was commissioned to create a celebratory sizzle reel that honored their rich history. Drawing on my technical expertise, I worked with archival footage spanning VHS, DVD, and even Beta formats, converting and curating decades of performances. From this treasure trove, I distilled 30 years of comedy into a concise, high-energy montage. The final piece was met with cheers, pride, and laughter, capturing the spirit of the theatre while celebrating its enduring legacy. Also included is a TV spot that won coveted airtime award from GA Gives and a YouTube ad/sketch introducing new and improved VIP seats.
Las Vegas Little Theatre
Located just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip, the nearly forty-year-old Las Vegas Little Theatre produces a full season of plays and musicals each year. With so many entertainment options in the city, my role was to create cinematic, movie-style trailers that would entice audiences while showcasing the theatre’s local talent. Using Adobe Creative Suite and DSLR cameras, I handled every aspect of production, from shooting to editing, delivering trailers that captured the energy, emotion, and artistry of each performance.
