Based out of Schaumburg IL, Pinnacle Advertising is a full-service marketing agency that drives retail traffic, builds brands and persuades consumers to buy. They have clients all the way from Tier 3 and Tier 2 auto dealers to nation-wide, household names like WeatherTech. 

​

I was lucky enough to spend two and a half years at Pinnacle Advertising sharpening my skills daily, making hundreds of advertisements per year. While my main focus was audio, video and motion graphics editing, I also got the opportunity to manage their entire Media Asset Management system (CatDV) and ample opportunities to workshop ideas with creatives. â€‹

Bob's Garage: with Bobby Rahal 
Trailer
​

In 2020 I was lucky enough to work with the talented Cinematographer and Video Editor, Collin Breimeier, on a long-form documentary on a hometown hero from Columbus, Ohio - Bobby Rahal. The documentary does a deep dive into the cars, trophies, memorabilia and stories that live stored away in his prize garage. 

​

This is the trailer for the documentary, while the full length documentary can be found on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBL07__9SX4

​

I handled the larger part of video editing, audio editing, music choice and graphics treatments for the spot, while Collin coordinated and executed the entire shoot and all final color. 

​

We tag-teamed on the trailer and it wouldn't have been as badass without him.

Four Seasons Heating and Cooling:

​

More impressively, I got to deconstruct an Adobe Photoshop style effect stack and rebuild it for video partly with After Effects native effects and partly with with a batch-edit function used on exported .psd image sequences in Photoshop. This allowed us to create the oil-painted look on video frames.
