Amsterdam Station: Happy XMAS
(War Is Over) Music Video
This is a music video for (now defunct) Atlanta based band Amsterdam Station's cover of "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" I shot, directed, and edited.
Amsterdam Station: Zombie Killer
Music Video
This was SUCH a fun project. Some friends and I banded together to create this zombie apocalypse themed music video for local (now defunct) Atlanta band, Amsterdam Station.
In this project, I was responsible for storyboarding, filming, special effects, assisting with makeup and practical effects, rotoscoping, concepting and graphic design. I even made a cameo killing zombies and being the first casualty at the beginning of the video!
THE ORIGINAL
Guitar Center is probably one of my favorite places in the world, and I’m not even a real musician! That being said, I wanted to take a look at Guitar Center’s current branding and revitalize it a bit. There’s a lot to like about it in its current form, but I felt they could use more of a streamlined, cleaned up, and versatile logo.
SKETCHES & CONCEPTS
As you can see, I toyed with a LOT of different ideas and concepts for this reimagining. I was fixed on using the guitar pick as an element because of its recognizable shape but the typography was everywhere. I finally settled on something simple and clean.

Motion Comic
While in school, I worked on a project based on a song I love from one of my favorite bands. I had always wanted to try out motion comics, so I did. All in all, this was a super fun project from start to finish.

Inspired by all the quick cooking videos that became popular online across social media, these videos were created to advertise a couple of Georgia State University Panther Dining’s on-campus events on social media platforms. I directed, shot, edited and tasted both pieces.
