Here are some samples of my work... The default video is the clip of my short-%#&@$! 4 minutes I did in February 2008 at the Addison Improv here in Dallas. Don't worry, I've got way more material ('cause I'm always talking $#%&#!@).
The second is one I co-directed for the song "Welcome To DC" by Tree Gotti feat. Da' Committee's Vito Terontino and Frank Nitty. Directed by Don "Black Hollywood" Goodman & Michael Ray. Editor: Vito Terontino (Song and video are copyrighted 2005 and 2006 respectively. All rights reserved.)
The third video is a trailer of DOLL'S BEAUTY SHOW, produced and hosted by Alice "Doll" Tyson. I was her Editor and Associate Producer for 11 shows, which I edited in Final Cut Pro. I cut the trailer in Premiere Pro CS3.
