Here are some short videos that I've put together. Most of them are just friends and I goofing around, but check them out anyway.

After editing the 2006 20/30 Road Rally Video, I was hired to both shoot and edit the 2007 Road Rally.
If you don't know anything about Road Rallies. It's basically a timed event that is not a speed event. You have several check points that you have to get to in a specific amount of time. However, you don't know what that time is, and you don't know where your destination is. Once you depart, you're given directions that are missing details like, "go x miles" and "end up here." They just have directions such as "turn right on 5th avenue - go an average of 35.67 mph."
So, this video is a basic summary of the entire day. It's all in chronological order and contains video from every "leg" and every checkpoint. We went all over central Iowa on an 8 leg, 300 mile course.
The video was shot by Zach Larson and I and edited by myself.
Length: 11:03
Music: evers b - get ready, queens of the stoneage - you think i ain't worth a dollar, hank williams iii - pills i took, vitalic - my friend dario

This is a video I edited for the 2030 Society of Des Moines. They shot some footage of their 2006 road rally and hired me to do a short edit as a promotional video for the 2007 rally.
The audio used is taken from a drumline that they shot video of during one of the rally's check points.

Public Juice is an old idea that Kevin and I had back in college. We filmed 2 previews for what was going to be our big movie.
Well needless to say, the movie never got made... so last spring, 2 years later, we decided to make a 3rd preview. We had it 90% edited and for some reason I just forgot about it. So a year later, I finished it up and here it is - the 3rd preview for our upcoming movie, Public Juice.

This is a music video I shot for the hip hop group, Rebels Advocate; it takes place in Maywood, a west side suburb of Chicago.
We had 1 day to shoot the video, no script, bad weather, etc. The whole project was sort of a mess, but it was a lot of fun and the video turned out pretty decent considering our situation. It was everyone's first music video, we had no budget, no equipment, etc. The only thing we had going for us was a common vision and lots of patience, ha. Check it out and please let me know what you think about it in the comments. I need opinions.
There's more info about the group Rebels Advocate at www.rebelsadvocate.com.

This was my first car - a 1963 Chevy II Nova. I bought it shortly after I turned 15 for only $1,500.
My dad and I spent the next 10 months restoring it - it was a ton of fun, we both learned a lot, and the car looked awesome. Then after driving it for about a year, I got slammed into by a woman, which totaled the car.
We have a couple hours of video shot during our restoration process, but it's very unwatchable... so here is a short edit of the work we did. No fancy editing, just video clips over music.
Warning, this will probably be pretty boring to everyone except my dad and I, but here it is anyway.

This is the sequal to Eternal Apprehension; a story about the longest wait that Kevi ever has to deal with.
We figured that since the first one was so gay, we'd continue with the gayness.

In 1998, Me and Jeremy Ludin (Grub) teamed up with Boone Ebel and started to film the sequal to Supergrub (A High School project). We never finished the movie, probably because it was insanely retarded and basically just a big goof off... but I got out the raw version and edited what we had so far. So check out (what was going to be) the best movie ever. omg.

This is a story about the longest wait that I ever have to deal with.
We came up with this 'super short' in about 5 minutes (after our first film idea failed miserably).
P.S. - This originally wasn't supposed to be so gay... but during the editing I decided it was just funnier this way.

I filmed this "cribs" video for a few reasons. The first was because I wanted to see if I could do it. The second was so that my friends/family at home could see what my apartment is like. And lastly, I filmed it to sort of make fun/have fun with the Mtv Cribs episodes.
Filmed by myself, my cousin Anthony Terronez, and Kari.

The next day after filming my "thug" preview, Kevi decided to film a 2nd preview for Public Juice. This one is pretty much exactly the opposite style - river dancing. (edited by Kevin Switzer)

Kevin and I filmed this as a preview for a movie we planned on making but had no idea what it would be about. For this particular preview, we were going to get a video of me acting like a thug, however I kept laughing so I just did a stupid little dance. That stupid little dance became an outtake. That outtake became our preview. (edited by Kevin Switzer)
I am an idiot...

This is an old tutorial I put together on how to build a complete skate board setup. It's pretty cheesy, and building a deck is pretty straight forward... but here it is anyway.
