Covers On the Spot Youtube Series
Covers On the Spot is Musora’s flagship long-form series, responsible for over 25 million views on YouTube. I joined as Lead Editor during the channel’s conception and soon added the role of Director of Photography, helping shape the series’ visual identity and post-production language across 45 episodes. The show celebrates iconic songs, bringing musicians together to reinterpret them in a single studio day, working together the old-fashioned way. I built an aesthetic around that idea, sourcing vintage décor and creating VHS-inspired fast-forwards, neon signage, and tactile sound design to reflect and romanticize the analog recording environments of the past.
This episode, "The Beach Boys But Shoegaze", was produced at East West Studios in Los Angeles, where I directed cinematography during a travel-constrained production. Having established the orange shag rug as the show's definitive set piece, symbolizing "The Spot" in the title, I used it as a brand identifier that carried across locations. With that and the neon COVERS sign in place we leaned into the studio's history as the very place where The Beach Boys recorded their hit Album, Pet Sounds.
To transition from Covers shoots into a week of Drumeo production I designed these camera and lighting layouts to guide the crew. As Director of Photography on both productions, I adapted the set design, lighting, and composition to align with each channel’s distinct aesthetic while maintaining efficiency across back-to-back production days. This video demonstrates how the same location was transformed:
The same approach carried through our other Musora productions, whether adapting to new environments or working in-house, where the majority of episodes were produced. This example features Spin Doctors covering Prince, an emotionally driven session in which I focused on editorial pacing to balance its heavier tone with the series’ established light, energetic identity.
As the series evolved, I built and standardized the post-production systems used by our editors across all episodes. This included creating reusable DaVinci Resolve Fusion templates for key visual elements such as VHS-style transitions and neon text graphics, ensuring consistency and efficiency across the editorial workflow. I trained and mentored two editors on the format to maintain continuity as the production scaled.
Over two years, Covers on the Spot evolved into Musora's defining series. Contributing to its visual identity from both behind the camera and in the edit suite remains one of the most rewarding creative projects of my career.
Multi-Brand Commercial Production at Supra Distribution
At Supra Distribution, I produced commercial content across a diverse range of brands in action sports, apparel, automotive, and lifestyle. Projects often combined photos, live-action production, motion graphics, and animation depending on campaign needs. Working in a high-volume environment, I was able to see how creative performed once released as paid media, and apply those insights to subsequent work.
Product-focused motion design has long been a core part of my work, particularly these high-end visualizations where products are animated, transformed, and integrated into cinematic brand environments.
Beyond motion-focused shorts, I also produced campaign content placing products within real-world and lifestyle contexts. This G-Shock piece was a self-produced pilot for an unrealized “Solar Powered” video series. I developed & pitched the concept, then travelled to Montreal to shoot it. The campaign builds on G-Shock's position within underground creative culture, emphasizing the hard work of the artists who wear the product.
At Supra Distribution, I brought products to life through cinematic storytelling, visual design, and real-world experiences. To see more of my work click below.
