It’s still such a crazy feeling to do a flip over someone kicking at you. It required me to fight against my instincts.

@thakenzanader killed it and @johnnyjaytp is a great camera op!

A quick story behind this short concept video since it blew up overnight! I’ve got a few more shorts coming in the bag. If you’re a producer looking for a director I’m currently available. 🎬🤙🏽 hit me up to learn about my experience and portfolio.

You ever seen a scorpion 🦂 stunt fall on someone’s foot before!? @johnnyjaytp and I got to brainstorming this idea for a fight along with the sword play. I immediately called @rorybratter to rent out @diamondactiondesign so we could make it real!

I had the pleasure of speaking at @theactorsguildstudio_gsu with @actresskatrina who lead an awesome lecture and panel with @thejoshuawade today. Great memories just keep flowing and I’m here for it.

The cool thing about filming practice is you get to see your progress. This is a few years ago and looking back on it I’ve learned so much more about pacing and form for action. #growth Still very cool though and a nice scorpion from @johnnyjaytp

#tbt to @johnnyjaytp vs @ivankjohn outside my complex. This was the first time I tried these full 360 shots at a fast pace.

Still shocked at the millions of views this video received. I called @johnnyjaytp and @jardzo_stunts on New Year’s Day to come film because “why not” but definitely was expecting such a response. Thank you everyone and shout out to both @tonyjax7 and @712vodka for being a part of this!

Also another shoutout to @martial_arts.lifestyle for consistency collaborating with my art!!!

A couple years ago I had @johnnyjaytp and @yo.jav helped me create this outline of shots as practice. You should be able to name every shot you choose in my opinion. Also you should be able to explain your decision making for each shot.

Low angle for power
High angle for weakness
Wide lens close up to get in someone’s mind
ETC

There are tons of scenarios but at the end of the day I always make sure there is a reason why I shoot a certain way. This little library has helped me stay sharp with the basics.

2 years ago now I filmed a short called “Monday” which was a big moment for my mental creativity. Now you can still see it playing in bars and gyms around the world on @chivetv 🎬

Every time I work with @gforcestunts we make art! 🖼️
