Video Production

In 2012, the Rising River String Band’s performance of “The Panic is On: Songs and Stories of the Great Depression” was recorded at the Silver City Museum and produced by me (using iMovie) in a DVD compilation of the same name. It included this title song, “The Panic is On,” by Hezekiah Jenkins here.

In 2011, I used Final Cut Pro to edit a stationary, single-take video into thiss music video of Greg Renfro and myself singing Neil Young’s “Like a Hurricane.”

In 2009, I used Final Cut Pro to produce a 3-minute video titled “I Was One,” which went viral with thousands of hits in its first couple of weeks.

(The view count on YouTube ran backward for some time, taking views down by thousands.)

In 1989, for the United Way, I produced a video credited with inspiring the Federal Campaign in southern Arizona (United Way’s client) to record-breaking giving – in the nation.  Because this project followed the scandal of the former national United Way CEO’s arrest for embezzling, every region in the nation experienced a decrease in giving – except the region of southern Arizona – again, credited to this video.

In 1988, I produced “The Life of Nell Petersen Tanner Shumway” on VHS, written by my mother about her mother’s life.

In 1987, I wrote and directed “When Home is Where the Hurt is,” a 30-second public service announcement for Tucson television stations about domestic violence resources.

In 1984, I shared a First Place Award in the First Annual Tucson Community Cable Corporation’s video awards for a rock video featuring the band Los Lasers, titled “Hard-Boiled.”

In 1982-3, I produced numerous five- to six-minute television news features as an intern at KUAT-TV, an affiliate of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in Tucson, Arizona, 1983.

Radio Production

In 2002, I produced this piece for Halloween night, titled “Spooks,” concerning federal agents, sometimes called “spooks,” for airing on the “Slightly Off-Center” radio show on KXCI Community Radio in Tucson, AZ.

In 1983, I was awarded First Place for Best Radio Feature by United Press International (UPI) Arizona-Utah Region for a story about the rights of children versus the rights of parents enrolling their children in a new, very strict Christian elementary school. Throughout that year I produced numerous news and feature pieces, including this, for KUAT Radio, NPR affilitate.
