The XA50 has Dual-Pixel CMOS AF that enables for smoother, high-performance shooting capabilities. This camcorder is also very compact and lightweight, and also has a touch-screen live-view monitor!
The t7i is compact and is perfect for outdoor and indoor productions. the Rode mic increases audio performance and recording quality, and is extremely compact! Like the Canon XA50, the T7io is also equipped with Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a feature increases the camera's focusing and shooting capabilities, giving it higher performance and a smoother look!

When I'm filming using my phone, I use this for motion tracking during small-scale productions. The Mobile 3 has built-in camera servo.
In Video Production, stabilizers are used to keep the camera steady during motion-based shots. The Weebil-S is equipped with DSLR servo controls, and it's much lighter than other stabilizers!
As the online content editor at TBN, I edit, design and optimize content for the TBN digital network that impacts people through the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. This includes full teachings, clips, channel trailers and much more!
One of the main channels I edit and design content for is the main TBN YouTube channel, which features content from a variety of speakers and guests including Bishop TD Jakes, Priscilla Shirer, Robert Morris, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and much more! In May 2023, this channel became the first on the Digital Network to pass 1 million subscribers and earn its gold plaque.
As the flagship talkshow of TBN, Praise features Biblical encouragement, help with life's hurts, and gives Scriptural answers to some of the biggest faith questions. Hosted by Matt & Laurie Crouch, the channel features a huge variety of content. I cut this video earlier in 2023 as part of a New Year's Post featuring words of encouragement from Jonathan Cahn, TD Jakes and Joseph Prince.
Better Together is the TBN's first daily original program made by women for women! It features a variety of renown speakers and guests such as Joyce Meyer, Christine Caine, Stephanie Ike, CeCe Winans and much more! Every week, I choose a guest to highlight from each batch of episodes and turn bits and pieces of full episodes into clips that encourage and bless people.
Below are some of the projects that I have previously edited and designed. I also shot some of these as well.
As an editor and designer, I worked with Pastor Joseph Carlos Robinson of Resurrection Church LA to share the Word of God on a global scale to the masses through a variety of mediums including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and KDOC-TV Los Angleles.
This was one of the most exciting projects I shot and edited, during which I had the privilege of shooting several worship segments and a special Resurrection Day message. This project gave me an opportunity to express my creativity by using multiple video production perspectives in a single project.
One of the most important tools I utilize is color correction, with this service being one of the best messages I have worked on thus far. What if you have to play the game of life when everything around you is dark? In this message, Pastor Joe shares a message about the hope we have in Christ, who is the light in the darkness.
Gabrielle Stone is a renown author and actress who I have had the pleasure of working with over the past year. Her podcast, FML Talk, is widely regarded on a global scale and discusses a variety of topics including relationships, heartbreak and family. Her books, Eat, Pray, #FML and The Ridiculous Misadventures Of A Single Girl, are available at all major retailers.
From renown producers like Danielle Harris to musical icons like Gigi Grombacher, I have shot a variety of interviews with Gabrielle and her many colleagues from across the entertainment industry.
One of the biggest tasks I have worked on during my time working with Gabrielle was editing several Zoom interviews. This was one of many projects I worked on that combined live footage shot in-studio with a Zoom recording for a truly interactive experience.
When a young man with big dreams gets the job opportunity of a lifetime, he tries to use is as an opportunity to advance his life. However, a failed interview leaves him devastated. When all seems lost, a walk in the park changes the young man's life...
