I simply feel blessed to be able to produce this bit of content for the METAhuskies channel.

Soundscaping
For one video project, there was an outdoor scene. Not a whole lot was happening in the scene, but I still felt that hearing “nothing” wasn’t very good, so I packed up the field recorder and a mic, and headed out into the woods.
Grassy Workspace
Sometimes you just have to make due with what you have. Fortunately, with all this technology, we can still communicate with each other – regardless of where you are!
Open iMac
There was a clicking noise coming from the original hard drive that came with my Mac. It ended up dying, so I had to install one of my SATA drives. This shot was from the stressful, but successful operation.
Glory 13 – Tokyo
It was around 5 years ago, when our small group got lit up when Joseph “Bazooka Joe” Valtellini got a shot at the Welterweight championship in Tokyo, Japan for Glory 13.
For a lot of us, we have led simple lives, and suddenly the world spotlight strikes close to home, involving you, your friends and family.
I usually don’t get a lot of work broadcast, but for the 3rd (or 4th) time, something I created, was pushed onto people TV sets with our fearless leader telling our story

Vineyard
I took this shot around 10 years ago somewhere in the Niagara region, where there are (obviously) a lot of vineyards.
This shoot was challenging because I didn’t have a lot of time, nor did I have the opportunity to scout the area because it was a private lot.
I wanted to get a high angle, so I climbed on top of a tall pole, and using the camera’s auto focus set to an area in the lower left corner, I raised the camera above my head and took several shots.
Luckily one of them came out, and it’s been in my portfolio ever since

Vistek Toronto
Only those who know, will know.
Video professionals who have been to Vistek – Toronto and have looked overnthe edge would see this.
GoPro HERO
That time I had the opportunity to use a GoPro HERO with a Suction Cup Car Mount to film some B-Roll footage.
You would most definitely have to edit the sound out, as the rattling inside the waterproof casing was simply too much.
This was also a few minutes before I ended up driving down a wrong path and with dirt bikes and ATVs.
Definitely got a lot of strange looks ??
The Jerk Chicken Master
I would work late nights, and it seemed that every weekend (regardless of the time or weather) this man would be out on the sidewalk at Eglinton Ave West and Marlee Ave, smoking up the air with his BBQ creations.
The Grainery
During the time when I was travelling to and from Brampton, Ontario filming Joseph “Bazooka Joe” Valtellini‘s training camp with Kru Paul Minhas at Ultimate Martial Arts, I would have a little downtime.
Just up the street, there was a bakery.
It was love at first taste! Every time I am in the area, I try to sneak in a grab some of these fresh cookies
