This is my latest sizzle reel the I am very proud of. It has some of my work from The Fuse Network, The Travel Channel and the Food Network.

I was initially responsible for the end tags for a majority of Fuse’s 30 second promos. These promos were typographically challenging, but very rewarding. Here is just the end tag of the 30 second “#Female Pleasure” feature.

Here is a scratch built upper third snipe requested by the creative director that morning with the finished product completed, finalized and prepped for air that afternoon. I am proud of my deadline driven techniques.

Here is another ten second lower third snipe that needed to be built in a short period of time for a scheduled airing. The job was completed successfully and was prepped for air before the deadlline.

I created a Travel Channel style guide for where the days and times would be placed within the 10 second show promo.

It was used as reference material within the style guide.

Here is an AMC ten second lower snipe built for the popular Sunday night lineup.

Here is a ten second lower third snipes that the banner stays the same throughout the run, but only the dates and times change per banner.

This was one of the ready-made ten second snipes that needed to be resized by resizing and positioning for air.

We did a lot of graphics work for the popular AMC program, Breaking Bad. Here is one of the last ten second lower third snipes I was involved with.

I was also involved with the graphics for AMC’s popular program, The Walking Dead, here is a ten second snipe featureing the highly rated talk show, The Talking Dead which ran after premiere airings of TWD.

I truly enjoyed doing these David Tutera snipes for WEtv. They looked so slick on the air, and they were really easy to revise with the efficient layering designed into it.

These “Tamar & Vince” Wetv snipes usually arrived pre built, but would usually need time and date revisions and correct placement to be correctly aired. Many time they would arrive with close airing deadlines, so my team would work quickly with them.

A good amount of IFC banners had to be resized and prepped for air. What made these unique was matching them up with the existing on-air bug. It was tricky but I always made it work.
