Behind every event is a mission, and I was honored to capture the heart of @ericabthechange golf tournament for The Change Project—a non-profit dedicated to building the soft skills teens, families, and businesses need to thrive. 🎥🏌️♂️
From action on the course to heartfelt interviews, I created a highlight reel that not only recaps the day but also helps Erica build awareness for her cause and strengthen sponsor relationships. 🎶💬 These videos don’t just capture moments—they serve a bigger purpose by amplifying the mission and creating lasting impact for sponsors, donors, and partners.
Event coverage is more than documenting the day; it’s about telling the story behind the cause, engaging your audience, and showing the why. If you’re planning an event and want to make it unforgettable while increasing brand awareness, let’s talk!

BTS: In the Editing Room.
This video is for anyone who wants to learn about my processes and ways of operating in the editing room. I’m always evolving my process, but I’m experimenting with ways to make this flow and so far it’s feeling pretty solid. It’s also aimed for anyone who might want to partner with me to see the type of dedication, passion, & intense time commitment it takes to make a good story come to life.
Erica from the @thechangeproject.us explains how our collaboration started 🙏🏼
BTS: Shooting B-Roll / Establishing Shots.
It doesn’t matter how good the interviews are if we don’t get out there & capture the visuals that allow the stories to come alive! These are shots of the beautiful landscape of Queen Creek, the interviewees living their life, & local businesses that have worked with Erica. In this video, I’m outside of Queen Creek High School, the alma mater of students interviewed for three film. We’ll use some of these shots when the students reflect on their experience at Queen Creek HS.
To give you another specific example of critical b-roll, we plan to capture footage that examines Erica’s roll in the community’s business scene. The film dives into how the business scene has exploded over the 15 years. With that comes the need for better leadership & capable workforce. @ericabthechange provides courses to support her community be ready to take on those jobs. So we are shooting b-roll of areas that have quickly developed, new constitution areas in town, & a variety of business locations that have worked with Erica, featuring drone shots / outside shots of their facilities and their employees at work.
Here’s how I’m operating in the heat of AZ:
Early mornings 6-8am: Drone, handheld camera on a 16-35mm lens & stand shots on a 70-200mm lens.
8-6: editing the interviews, selecting the music, stitching the story together in the Final Cut Pro timeline, & taking laying over some initial b-roll ideas.
6-8: repeat early morning routine
Putting in long days but that’s the grind! 👊🏼
🚨 excuse the coffee stain lol 🤷🏻♂️
