Make48 - Seasons 9&10

About Make48

Make48 is a nationwide invention competition and docuseries where teams have just 48 hours to design, prototype, and pitch a brand-new product around a sponsor’s real-world challenge — a fast-moving, multi-team shoot with a literal ticking clock. For Seasons 9 and 10, I ran on-site production end to end, from the first planning call to the final YouTube cut.

What I Handled

Pre-production & coordination — Planned each shoot in advance: hiring and briefing crew, locking locations, sourcing rental gear, and building schedules tight enough to keep a 48-hour event on track.

On-site direction — Directed the crew while operating camera and drone, capturing every shot each episode needed: team interviews, build and prototyping progress, the pitch, and the aerial and B-roll that give the cut its pace.

DIT & delivery — Managed all the data on location — offloading, backing up, and organizing footage — then handed clean, editor-ready media to the post team.

Post & YouTube — Edited the episodes for YouTube, combining two or three episodes into a single video with calls-to-action and optimized titles, descriptions, and metadata.

Do You Have a Shoot That Needs a Director Who Can Run the Whole Pipeline?

Liberty Memorial

I was meeting some friends for drinks downtown in Kansas City and decided to get some drone shots of the Liberty Memorial and the World War I museum. Turned out to be a nice day, just missed the rain.

Castle: Copperhead ESC Product Launch

Announcing COPPERHEAD 10 PERFORMANCE 1:10TH SCALE SENSORED ESC
Meet the COPPERHEAD 10 PERFORMANCE ESC. It takes to the open road as well as it takes to no road at all. This completely new design rounds out our 1:10 scale offerings, positioned between the SIDEWINDER 4 as the entry-level upgrade and the MAMBA X as the extreme performance option.

This was a fun project to work on with the team at Castle Creations.

A new brewery opened up in Grain Valley, MO.

I drive by it on my way to and from church each week. I haven’t had a chance to stop and try it but it is on my list.

360° Tour of the Church Construction

Today the deacons came out and prayed for the construction and the workers. The current task on the building is putting up the roof. They have already completed the roof over the office/classroom area and have started on the sanctuary.

I was out taking pictures of the church construction when one of our fellow members stopped by to take a look as well. We decided to capture a few pictures of his 65 Chevy truck.

Another beautiful new construction in our neighborhood.

It was also a good opportunity to practice some drone video skills. Here is a pull away shot showing the neighborhood’s lake.
