ZMG | Ruckus Factory spec work & other odds & ends.
The Wrap ‘Daily Headlines’ Demo.
This was a demo for an ongoing, daily-turn series ZMG | Ruckus pitched to entertainment news organization The Wrap. It was my job to design the look and feel. I was in charge of cinematography, set design, editing, and tasked with building a slick-looking, brand-safe series template.
Gathered here are a few samples of demo and spec work ZMG | Ruckus pitched to prospective partners that I worked on personally. Most of these were used to pitch the kind of high-end, quick-turn content we are able to produce at volume. Typically, my role is to create a template to be used as a model for the content to follow.
Billboard’s The Hot 100 - Hosted Interstitial Demo.
I directed, shot, and edited this hosted interstitial ZMG | Ruckus pitched to Billboard to feature in a video player with The Hot 100.
Virgo spec - 80 Acres Farms.
A story ZMG | Ruckus produced for Virgo Investment Group around one of its partners, 80 Acres Farms. The idea was to create a series of short marketing pieces telling each of its partners’ stories. I was tasked with creating a look and style, and editing the first video to serve as a template for the rest of the series. This was the result.
Wonderwall Demo - ‘Emma Stone Tying the Knot?’
A demo I edited as part of ZMG | Ruckus’s pitch to Wonderwall, a celebrity news & gossip site. I designed a custom, brand-safe graphics package which I then templated so we could produce 5-10 such stories per day.

I was placed in charge of this project in 2016, in which Ruckus produced a series of year-end “Best Of” roundup videos for YourEDM, an EDM News and Reviews website. This is one of the videos I edited.
