Beale Airshow Commercial (5MB)
In broadcast resolution 640x480. Beale AFB was donated 200 airplays of a Public Service Announcement over two weeks on 37 Comcast cable channels in the Northern California area. That's less than 3 plays per day per channel. So I made the piece as loud and attention-grabbing as possible while still saying all the things that needed to be said.
Global Hawk Divert Training (35MB)
The Global Hawk is a remotely-piloted, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. What would happen if they had to divert one to an airport where they'd never seen one before? How do you turn it off and tow it off the runway? How do you train a recovery crew that just found out a Global Hawk is an hour away from landing at their airfield?
This video was written, shot and edited in less than 10 days to meet a short-fuse mission requirement, and is distributed on DVD, CD-ROM and via the internet.

Team Engineer Marketing Video (15 minutes)

The package was cut so that the receiving station would have maximum flexibility with it, and all raw shots from this story were sent along with the finished report and script.
