SPECIAL REPORT PROMOS

Every special report promo is like a puzzle. You look at a reporter's story script, interviews, and video to find just the right pieces to be intermingled with a few lines of copy that will give viewers a compelling reason to watch the story. I produced a lot of these in my years at FOX23, and guided other promo producers through their own projects. Here's just a small selection of spots I'm proud of.

1921 Tulsa Race Massacre – The History & The Hope

The FOX23 News team did a remarkable job of exploring this stain on Tulsa's history, while also highlighting what many Tulsans have done to rise out of that dark past and provide hope for the future. I'm happy with the tone this spot sets in promoting the special program.

Donations Left to Rot

This a good example of how a reporter's on-location stand-up, compelling sound bites, and surprising video can all come together to make a very compelling case for watching the story.

Tulsa's Young Criminals

I'm really happy with the gritty look and feel of the title animations. I feel the editing and sound bites in this one are pretty impactful, too.

Costly Mistakes with Your Credit

I like the title animations I created for this one. I also like the way I cut the credit card swiping shots to the beat of the music.
