This tremendous music documentary won a Grammy award for
Best Long-form Video in 2000. I was the on-line editor and
post-production supervisor. It was also my responsibilty to
transfer the original camera audio tapes to a digital
format and re-synch them to the 16mm telecine masters.
Abbey Road Studios then created a great 5.1 surround mix
using the edited audio tracks and the multi-channel masters
from the original recording sessions.
I was the on-line editor for episodes 1 and 3 of this
Emmy-nominated 10-part syndicated series that includes new
interviews with many of the most important figures in
popular music and rare performance footage. The
first episode explores the roots of rock and the third
documents the "British Invasion" of the '60s. (Jackson
Browne and Lindsay Buckingham are shown playing
my guitar!)
All four of the Beatles shows uncut... although I
was instructed to replace the commercials
and sponsor tags that featured cigarettes with more
politically correct advertising.
Every appearance on the Sullivan show is included in this,
the third of a 3-volume set. This was the only one created
for broadcast, however (on VH1) and featuring narration by
Bono of U2. I was the on-line editor and post-production
supervisor but never got to approve Rhino's home video
surround mix which is unlistenable on all three discs.
Recently (and finally) released on DVD, this feature film
bio-pic is the definitive summation of Lennon's life and
work, recounted in his own voice. I did the on-line editing
of the archival video bonus features which include an
interview with his schoolmaster, home movies with Yoko and
Julian and an early, live acoustic guitar performance of
"Imagine".
This was a huge, 4-hour, live-broadcast extravaganza that
included nearly every CBS star, past and present. I
on-lined almost all of the rolled-in segments, most of
which were montages of the network's classic entertainment
and historic news programming.
Lorne Michaels was Executive Producer for this 2-hour
primetime special. Hosted by Conan O'Brien, it featured
many of the most memorable moments in late night television
- from The Tonight Show through Tomorrow to Saturday Night
Live. I was the on-line editor.
CBS commissioned a total of 13 of these hour-long specials
that featured outtakes from its prime time lineup and many
hilarious oddities from network, local and foreign
television. I was the on-line editor and post supervisor.
This program, shot in many exotic locations around the
world, began as a 2-hour NBC prime time special and then
continued as a series on TLC comprised of 23 half-hour and
6 hour-long programs. I was the on-line editor and post
production supervisor.
In this NBC special, Tim Allen, Bill Maher, Paul Reiser,
Jerry Seinfeld and other comic notables share anecdotes
about their early careers in the New York City comedy club
scene during the stand-up boom of the '80s. I was the
on-line editor and post supervisor.
A 3-part series for TLC that examines both the frontier
beginnings and the latest attractions of the City of
Lights. It contains interviews with many people who changed
the face of Las Vegas. I was on-line editor and post
supervisor.
A 9-hour reali-mentary series that features actual
investigations, arrests, car chases and bad guys. One
segment documents the shooting (and near death) of a
marshal by combining re-enactments with footage shot
on-scene and from local TV news archives. The first episode
is a documentary style history of the Marshal Service's
rise to prominence during desegregation in the JFK era.
These shows still air occasionally on TLC.
I on-lined and mixed the first six episodes.
A series of 150 half-hour shows for the Animal Planet cable
network.
I on-lined and mixed all of them.
I was the on-line editor for this entire series and also
supervised the mixes and the production of most of the new
music. There were 36 of these half-hour programs that aired
on VH1, but the 12 episodes in this box set have heretofore
never been released on home video. They were re-edited,
re-formatted and re-mixed in surround by me.
The latest release from the Sullivan library: all three
shows that Elvis headlined during the winter of '56 in
their entireties. The bonus materials include some
interesting interviews, rare home movies of Elvis and even
his first filmed performance. I am responsible for nearly
all the post-production work on this DVD set, although the
distributor chose not to use my 5.1 mix (probably for
budgetary reasons) and the fake surround sound that they
created is defective and unlistenable.
This ABC show was nominated for an Emmy in the Best
Children's Program category. It featured stars like Joe
Pesci, Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito and Rosie
O'Donnell...not to mention dozens of others in the montages
of excerpts from Sesame Street episodes.
This was my first broadcast credit as on-line editor.
HBO produced this special, 50 Years Of Television: The
Television Academy's Golden Anniversary, in which some
100 TV stars appeared, including several members of the
Television Hall Of Fame. I attended the anniversary gala at
the Academy in North Hollywood where this program was
screened for the members and guests before its premiere on
HBO. I was the online editor.
This exhibit at the Museum of Radio and Television in
Hollywood featured a screening of an exclusive video
program that contained many early performances of
Rock'n'Roll pioneers on the Ed Sullivan Show including Bill
Haley & The Comets, Gene Vincent, Bo Diddley and of
course, Elvis Presley. I was the online editor and audio
mixer.
