I created this video for an “about a blog” intro using snippets of assorted fishing and cooking videos. I found the song Sulphur, Tobacco, and Whiskey by Waylon Thornton that had the same upbeat feel to what I wanted to show through on the video. The video is trimmed to exactly 1 minute.

So, we bought a giant jackfruit and cut it up on film. Of course, we ate it up, too. It was for an article on CultivatetoPlate.com. I wrote all the text and researched the proper names for the jackfruit parts – “avrils” (sweet edible parts), “seeds” (the seeds found inside the avrils, and the “rags” (the inedible layered parts between the avrils) – which was good for the article and good for the video. I also added little fun facts throughout the video, like
The music I found had an upbeat surf sounding tune and fit well with the sped up footage.

This video was a little different from my previous ones – in that the video wasn’t sped up. It was produced from raw footage of an underwater camera while a fisherman was “chunking bait”, and accompanied an article on what chunking bait is (essentially throwing bait fish into the water in a pattern to bait fish to follow the boat). The music was a little slower than my previous choices, but still had the low-fi instrumental elements that I was searching for.

This video is of us cooking Maine lobsters in our garage, then removing meat from the shell in the studio. The camera was placed over the steaming pot and while the cooker thought it was footage to be thrown out, I thought the steaming up of the lens looked kind of cool. I was looking for music to fit along with the video – which even sped up which is my style – the song needed to be almost 5 minutes in length. The video was created for a fishing website article. The song I found had a surf beat to it and went well with the pace of the video.

Ok, this has been by far my favorite video I created for a website. It was just raw footage in the ocean look at a kelp patty in the distance and the abundance of sea life that surrounds it. The music so fit with the video, too, and was a raw cigar-box guitar with tambourine and harmonica tracks mixed in. I fell in love with the music when I heard it on Free Music Archive many years ago, but when I saw the raw footage in the ocean, it went hand in hand. I contacted the artist for permission. It was created for an article for a fishing website.

This is another video I made using studio image stills. It shows how to clean, prepare, and cook, and remove the meat from a Dungeness crab. The pace of each image frame fits along with the upbeat and fast paced music. This was created for an article for Dana Point Fish Company website.

I created this video and sped up the footage to match the fast paced surf music. The Humboldt squid is huge, and the steaks require tenderizing before cooking. The kosher salt acts as an abrasive to clean up the tentacles. This video was created for an article for the Dana Point Fish Company website.

This video show how to prep Pismo clams, from shucking them to cleaning and preparing the meat for recipes. The clams are huge, and there’s a lot of work that goes into preparing them. I created the video by speeding up the work and fitting it to the fast moving instrumental surf song that accompanies it. This video was for an article on the Dana Point Fish Company website.

This video was created from images taken in a studio, and there is no music. A recipe was created for the lobster, and the text for how to prep shows throughout. I had to research all the parts of the claw for the article (a claw has three main pieces: cheliped (main claw), carpus and merus (first and second joints), and the dactyl (movable finger). In the video it details how to remove the meat from all the parts of the claw.
This is another video created from multiple stills in a studio. I created a “key” to the fish parts (lateral line, anal fin, dorsal fin), and inserted text describing the action. It was created for the Dana Point Fish Company website.
