Found Causes "FACT"

Just the FACTS with Oklahoma Video Production

This is the segment I edited for our show Found Causes about FACT, the Oklahoma City Police Department's gang prevention unit. Located in the inner city, FACT is aimed at preventing youths from engaging in gangs. FACT provides them a safe place where police officers in street clothes can talk to them without the stigma of authority figures. Mentors help guide the kids into sticking with schools. FACT also engages in group role play so that kids can be prepared for when they may be approached by gangs and will know what to do to get out of that situation.

2012 Demo Reel

Jammed Pack with Oklahoma Video Production!

My 2012 demo reel.  Cut in FCP X with an assist from FCP 7 & Magic Bullet Looks 2.0. There was a great step forward in my professional work that I'm pleased with. I also experimented with split screens and split screen transitions that I eventually started to apply to other work. Overall, 2012 was a great year. I did a lot of work for Grapevine Media and a fair amount of stuff on my own. I really think my skills and abilities increased over the course of the year and gave me the confidence that I had, in fact, chosen the right career. Project included:

A Winter's Solace

Stormin' Up Some Oklahoma Video Production!

Salazar Roofing "Hail" Spring 2012 - Salazar wanted Grapevine Media to do a new spot to air during Thunder playoff games that touched on the worries of Oklahoma home owners and spring hail storms.  I did the main edit. James did a great job on adding the lighting and storm effects.

Marketini Awards 2012 "Mad Men"

,

Suave Oklahoma Video Production

This was a super fun piece to work on. Grapevine got a call from the Oklahoma City chapter of the American Marketing Association wanting us to do a creative piece to open up the first annual Marketini Awards.  With a '60s theme already selected for the ceremony, a Mad Men inspired riff was a natural choice.

Directed by James Price.

Edited by Patrick Kirk.

Found Causes "The Genesis Project"

Giving Broken Boys a Second Chance

This is my segment from the first episode of Season 02 of Found Causes.  We revisited the Genesis Project, who Grapevine had previously done a video for.  The Genesis Project provides hope and new beginnings for boys 6-12 who have experienced extreme trauma and abuse.

Liberty Minded Teaser

Rallying for Oklahoma Video Production

This is a quick teaser trailer I put together for a promo I'm making for Liberty Minded, a local libertarian think tank in Oklahoma City. I had wanted to do some sort of promo piece for an organization for some time. When I found out the day before that there was a Ron Paul rally on the capital steps and they would all be there, I threw caution to the wind and got them all together to make this video. I'm really a happy with the way i turned out. Especially with all the audio challenges we faced. We spent most of the shoot worried security would come to shut us down, but we were never bothered.

Found Causes "Deaconess Pregnancy & Adoption"

Creating Families with Oklahoma Video Production

This is the final segment from the first season of Found Causes. This episode marked the first time that I used Final Cut Pro X for both my segment and final assembly of the episode.

For almost 100 years, Deaconess has been working to build families in Oklahoma. Deaconess provides guidance to young women faced with an unexpected pregnancy. They provide emotional support as well as financial. For women considering giving up their child for adoption, they work to find a family looking to adopt that the mother can feel confident will provide the life their child deserves.

Found Causes "Neighborhood Service Organization"

Rebuilding Neighborhoods with Oklahoma Video Production

My edited segment from Found Causes Episode 10. Across from the historic Little Flower Church.  NSO has been fighting poverty in Oklahoma City since 1920. Just a stones throw from Downtown Oklahoma City, Neighborhood Service Organization provides job training, shelter, medical & dental assistance, and much more.

Two amazing services they offer is low cost shelter to single mothers who are working to get back on their feet. Apartments come fully furnished and when they are ready to move out on their own again, they get to keep the furniture. The other program addresses the needs of young men who age out of foster care when they turn 18. Many have been abandoned or have no family to turn to when they can no longer stay in foster care and many end up on the streets. NSO finds these boys and places them in an apartment complex providing them help with getting into college, finding jobs, and mentoring.
