Saturday Night Live Season Premiere

This week marked the start of Saturday Night Live's 36th season. I spent the week busting my butt to edit 2 parody commercials. I have never cut 2 parodies simultaneously before. It was intense and stressful at times. Luckily, I had the help of a great team! Alex Serpico handled color correction and online editing. Rhys Thomas and Justus Mclarty masterfully orchestrated the production and post producing, with additional help from newcomers Bree and Max. And of course, the parodies were directed by none other than Jim Signorelli, who has been directing the parodies since the show's beginning. One of the parodies won't air until next week, but a great piece about Bosley's new cure for baldness made the premiere. Check out my handy work below...




"Hair Restoration" was shot by Alex Bouno on the brand new Arri Alexa camera. It was such a smooth process, since we could import the clips at Apple Pro Res (HQ), without having to waste time transcoding. Plus the footage looks great! This piece was written by the talented and lovely Paula Pell.

Horsetail and Ponytail Falls, Columbia River Gorge, OR

Brent and I hiked to a lovely set of waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge. It was a perfect day for a hike.

Horsetail Falls is visible from the road, and is a long, narrow spectacular site.


Ponytail Falls is a smaller version, about 2.5 miles hike up Horsetail Falls.

You can walk under Ponytail Falls, and kiss behind the waterfall for good luck!
