Directed the 6 ep series of the "The Trunk" Written by Cory Cavin, Josh Lay and Bill Grandberg http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLChmxKYOuWIKnS3qrdq10PNZlvTD9VIxM With a limited budget and only a weekend to shoot the Team and I were able to finish ahead of schedule despite having to shoot 3 episodes/16+ pages of dialogue a day. Making that possible was partly due to the fact that we shot on green screen, but the main reason was that the team working on this shoot was perfect. The communication and genuine enthusiasm between us all was incredible and I'm very thankful for that opportunity to work with such a strong crew.

I started up the graphics dept, creating the look for the show (lower 3rds, commercial bumpers, etc. ) as well as designing and animating over 50 intro graphics for comedy and game segments for the show. Other work entailed carrying out the direction and animation for all of the cartoon segments (traditional, stop motion, and after effects). Also supervised and carried out the visual effects for pretaped live action segments. Worked on 840 episodes

* Directed episodes 5 through 10 Also served as Director of Photography for 5 * 8, and Visual FX/Compositing for 5,6,8,9 * 10 http://modelwifeshow.com

I worked with the film units for the pretape segments as well as working on sketches for the show. Responsibilities include: Visual FX / Logos / Graphics packages / Animation. Turnaround time is super tight but that's definitely part of the challenge/reward. Here's a BTS for a better idea of what I do: https://youtu.be/a57SeLZFLj0 Worked on the Emmy winning SNL 40th Special (Outstanding Variety Special) as well as the 2016/2017 season (Outstanding Variety Series).

The Screen Test is a comedy where actors are misdirected, and pushed to extremes on an audition, that unbeknownst to them, will be used as the final product of a fully polished short. This is a passion project that got picked up by truTV for 6 4-minute episodes that will be a part of a half hour comedy block called Late Night Snack which airs THURSDAYS @ 11PM starting March 3rd! http://deadline.com/2016/02/late-night-snack-alec-baldwin-comedy-shorts-trutv-1201704930/
