SCRIPTS & VIDEOS

Thanks to the generosity of Google Video, I now have a cost-efficent way to store my videos and to provide you with fast and easy access to them over the Internet.

This SCRIPTS & VIDEOS page provides a (mostly comprehensive) list of videos I have worked on in one capacity or another. Some I wrote, produced, and directed; a few I merely wrote the scripts for others to produce and direct. The table below summarizes the content, the client, the scripts, the produced videos, and my role(s) for each video project.

Clicking on a video title (or an image) will open a new page in your browser, and the video will begin to stream from a page at Google Video. Clicking on the script for a video will download a PDF file of the script that was used as the basis for the production. Since scriptwriting is the written art of blending all the visual and audio elements into a coherent struture that must live and breathe within the cinematic medium of film/video, discerning readers may enjoy seeing how the written elements were transformed into the medium of video through the talents of the performers and crew.

For additional information on any project, read the project description on the Google Video page and refer to the associated Client/Employer link on my resume page. My resume page presents my career history in a boring, reverse chronological order, but this table presents my audio-visual scriptwriting and my film, TV, and video productions in more of a topical, or stylistical, fashion, regardless of when I crafted them.
