I filmed this shot of Ethan Ebert absolutely ripping his turbo charged Honda Talon in Johnson Valley, CA on December 19, 2025. This kid is an absolute Pro (look him up), and it’s always fun to shoot with him. I listed this video first, because It’s my favorite single shots that I’ve captured in my career. I started in automotive studio photography ten years ago, originally as an assistant photographer, and in those days I always dreamed of being able to capture a shot like this. With Ethan’s help, we were able to coordinate this awesome jump, roost, and donut shot in the middle of an otherwise mundane testing day in the desert. I shot this with a Panasonic GH6 and Lumix 25-50mm lens. No additional stabilization. Just spinning in circles and hoping my toes don’t get crunched.

This video showcases Skunk2 Racing’s next generation valvetrain and camshaft timing components in an engine with a transparent valve cover and timing chain cover. I was tasked with filming and editing this video to be used as a commercial for Skunk2 Racing’s “Technical Difficulties” podcast. For this video, I used a Panasonic GH6 camera with a motorized slider.

This was an epic project we filmed out in El Mirage, CA to see if we could get a Kraftwerks Off-Road supercharged Honda Talon and Kawasaki KRX to reach over 100mph against the air. We filmed this footage using several different cameras, including a Panasonic GH6, Panasonic GH5, several GoPros, a DJI Mavic Air 2 Drone, and even Iphones (Sometimes you just have to get the shot). I operated the drone as well as the other cameras. I loved working on this vlog, because it shows the fun side of going out to the desert to shoot, and the satisfaction of going home with great results. All video editing was done by me. The thumbnail was done by me as well.

Technical Difficulties is a 24 Part podcast that I produced for Skunk2 Racing’s YouTube channel. I used EVMUX recording platform to produce this podcast in coordination with multiple guests both domestic and international. This series required me to research the history of drag racing, find the footage and images needed as support, support live Ipad drawings from the genius (David Hsu), and moderate with questions and topics. Working on this series felt like a university research project at times. It forced me to try to fully understand the material that was being discussed by men far smarter than me. Technical Difficulties has been the biggest challenge, as well as the biggest learning development for me.

The Rundown Kitchen is a show that I produced for the Skunk2 Racing YouTube channel to showcase their engine parts competing in head to head matchups on a chassis dynamometer to prove which brand’s part makes more horsepower. This vlog was shot in New Hampshire, Connecticut by Jamie Marsh’s (Import Drag Racing Legend) team. My job from across the country was to write the shot list and direct the camera operator, Mizz, to record what I needed. This crew of three is very close, so it made my job easy when Mizz asked all the right questions to Jamie and Brian. After everything was recorded, Jamie’s team sent me a hard drive of the footage that I cut into this video. The Jamaican theme of “The Rundown Kitchen” (Rundown being a popular Jamaican Stew) came from the owner of Skunk2 Racing paying an ode to Jamie Marsh’s Jamaican roots (Fun Fact: Jamie just set the All-Motor drag race quarter mile record in Jamaica). I used After Effects and a little AI to create the intro and outro bumper. I also created the thumbnail with a little inspiration from combat sport promos. Please enjoy the video.

This project was the most technical project I’ve worked on. I set up a video camera on a tripod and hit record as one of our mechanics stepped into frame, wrenched the crankshaft five degrees, stepped out of frame, and repeated the process for 720° of rotation. I then took this footage and created frame hold segments for each five degree rotation. From that point the video turned into stop motion animation. Once the owner of the company and I decided the speed at which to play the video (based on math that has since been lost on me), I added the intake air blue overlay, ignition spark, and exhaust air red overlay to demonstrate the airflow that’s occurring. The most difficult step was adding the chart of valve graphic on the bottom. This required precise synchronization done by hand to match the occurrences of the piston with the valve graph. Every step of this video, and every asset in the video was shot and edited by me and created by me.

For this video I was the director, camera operator, editor, voice over talent, and talent on screen. I also had to get to the bottom of what makes our camber kit selections unique, which required me to seek guidance from our engineers so I could write a script. This was shot and edited in one afternoon and was used as one of our many product focused Reels for Skunk2 Racing.

This video was shot at Skunk2 headquarters with Joe Irwin and Jay Meagher visiting (Legendary Engine Builders). David Hsu (Founder of Skunk2 Racing) gives them a tour of the large scale engineering and R&D facility that he uses to develop and manufacture Import performance parts. I followed these gentleman around all morning with a camera, and finished the edit in the afternoon.

These videos both went viral with 2.1M views and 103K likes on the left video and 1.2M views and 65K likes on the right video. The filming was easy as I simply had to place the camera on a tripod, frame the shot, pull focus, and hit record. Inserting the RPM number was the difficult part. I worked with the dynamometer operators to access the graphs needed to find timing and RPM ranges. From there I used Adobe After Effects to accurately represent the RPM with the pull of the engine.

Commonly at Group-A Engineering, David Hsu (Founder) will have messages that he wants to send to our supporters, customers, and fans. Our SOP is to shoot these videos in our studio against a green screen so we have the option of adding B-Roll behind Dave. I’ve directed, shot, and edited many of these videos for Skunk2 Racing’s social media.

Featured in this video is the OG Legend of Motocross, Jeremy McGrath. We met him out in Johnson Valley before King of the Hammers in 2024 to test his Kraftwerks Supercharged KRX before he competed in the upcoming race. I shot this video solo shortly after I started working at Group-A Engineering as a Multi-Media Specialist. This video was a big test for me to deliver a short interview with our talent accompanied by a plethora of B-Roll filmed on all sorts of equipment.

This Reel is the product of a brainstorming session amongst the Group-A Engineering marketing team on how to showcase Kraftwerks Off-Road’s wide selection of UTV products in a fun way that’s different from the typical beauty shot edit. We were also on a heavy time crunch where we had to shoot and edit in the same day. This was a chance for us to show the fun side of the brand, do some improvising, and provide something fresh on the Kraftwerks Off-Road feed.

Skunk2 Racing’s customer service team encountered a high volume of calls with customers inquiring on how to install their magnesium valve covers (It’s a fairly entry level project, so it makes sense). Our response was to produce an instructional video that details precisely how to perform each step of the install. For this video I co-directed, operated the b-cam, and processed the edit.

I shot and edited this video at Icon-Media. This was the first solo video project for me where I needed to develop the shot list and execute without any oversight. I had been shadowing our studio manager for years on projects like these. When the aforementioned studio manager left Icon Media, I was promoted to his role of Lead Photographer and Videographer. Shortly after, this Corvette rolled into our cyclorama walled studio, and it was my turn to deliver.

This was another project that I took on shortly after I took on the role of Studio Manger at Icon Media. I needed to match the shots of a long line of Atturo tires that we shot a templated video of. This was the first video that I shot and edited following that template in Premiere Pro.

This is an interview I shot at Happy Brands highlighting one of our graphic designers. I operated the cameras, and set up the lighting, audio, and edited the video. Looking back, I wish I would have had the foresight to have added more B-Roll to support the video. If I could go back in time I would have asked her for videos of her at Disneyland, getting her tattoos, dying her hair, working on projects, chilling with her pet snake, etc.
