Thunderstorm Dream
Notes - This was a test flight for my new HD field cam. Footage was shot from an ultralight aircraft in High Def, then downconverted to Standard Def. It was a gray drizzly morning but the mist and low hanging clouds turned out to be very cool, even tho I had to use a rain cover. I think the Bluff is amazing but seeing it from the air... ahhh, it was like a dream. Ever dream of flying? FYI: You'll have to get a permit to fly the restricted airspace over national park land. A big thanks to NPS!
Nebraska Rivers
Republican River, Platte River,
North Platte River
Notes - This is some footage shot fall 2007 of work being done on the eastern Republican River. Phragmites which is an invasive plant species was the focus at that point. This is what I call baseline footage, to establish conditions prior to restoration. efforts. There is a short clip of Lovewell Reservoir just across the Kansas line which is fed by the Republican. As an illustration of how prolific phragmites is I have included footage I shot during the same period which includes The Platte River, near Gothenburg and the North Platte River south of North Platte. It is evident to me that phragmites in these areas has completely overtaken native vegetation. At the end of clip I have included wildlife shots from the Republican River.
Short Dream
Notes - This clip is one of a series of short wildlife and nature programs accompanied by relaxing acoustic soundtracks. There is no dialogue. Sit back and enjoy!

Giving Back
Nebraska's Mission of Mercy
Notes - This is part of a longer program that chronicles the 2008 Nebraska Mission of Mercy Dental Clinic. The program is available on NMOM YouTube Channel in segments. This is the first segment.
I was honored to be a part of it. The dedication of these volunteers brought a tear to my eye more than once during the filming.
The Historic Midwest Theater
Capital Campaign - 2003
Notes - This was one of my very first independent projects. My camera was brand new and so was my first Avid editing system. My son plays the Bogart character and we recruited friends and local vintage car enthusiasts to participate. The police agreed to block off the street for 10 minutes while we set up for the vintage car shots. We only had time for 2 takes but really only needed one. This is one of my most memorable shoots ever. It was so much fun! I love working with actors.
Mark Overman for Sheriff
:30 Television Ad - 2010
Notes - Its been a while since I worked on a political campaign ad. I was delighted when Mark called me to produce this ad for him in his bid for Sheriff of Scotts Bluff County. I, like many others in this community have enormous respect for Mark and appreciate his service in law enforcement. Good luck Mark!
