POSTS STORIES REELS

Had the incredible opportunity this year to design and light three gladiator sets for the @tigers Media Day.

This production is no small feat spanning four days, nearly 80 players, and a crew of 80+ talented individuals. With just two days to load in, build, and fully test, the margin for error was slim but expectations high. The content captured during this window will power an entire season across in-game, social, and broadcast platforms.

What people don’t always see are the early mornings, the late nights, and the months of preparation that make it all possible. Planning for this began back in November with rough sketches that quickly evolved into detailed digital renderings, huge credit to Joe and his team at @4wall for helping bring that vision to life. In addition, we collaborated with @ryvalstudios for set build and post production work. It’s always a pleasure working with Jon & his team, true professionals who deliver. The collaborations were seamless, and I’m grateful for the partnership.

Once creative was approved, it was full speed ahead locking in gear, building out crews, and navigating tight budgets and even tighter timelines. Somehow, we delivered under pressure and under budget. More importantly, we proved something to ourselves.

This project was a test and it validated what I’ve believed for a while now: the strength, creativity, and capability of our internal team is something special. I couldn’t be more proud of the group that brought this to life. Your commitment, attention to detail, and willingness to push through every challenge made this production what it is.

Also, a huge thank you to the Lakeland team for helping execute at such a high level, and to the City of Lakeland, FL for the continued support and hospitality.

It truly takes a village and I’m grateful for mine! God is Good!

To my best friend in the world. Each day is better with you in it and I wouldn’t want to go a day without you by my side. Full of gratitude this morning as I reflect on Gods gift of YOU. Birthdays come and go but your impact on me and those around you are forever. I hope today, on your special day you enjoy and embrace how much you mean to those around you and how much you are loved. You’re a light my love and I am thankful we get to walk this path together. Happiest of Birthdays to you @chandellesandra I can’t wait to spend a life time of them. by @ilketurtles

“Time. The story of our lives...
Something we all must deal with.
The construct of a man.
The structure of a society
Some of us love it. While others...
...Do their best to escape it”
