storyboarding & planning
Detailed planning is the cornerstone of a successful shoot. My work-flow is a combination of rehearsals, research, improvisation and storyboarding. Defining a story arc is critical. And while bringing in impromptu moments and improvisation is very grounding, it still needs to support a clear story.
With a background in fine arts, storyboarding has been the most effective tool to communicate a visual to both talent and crew.
training & practices
I've studied movement and practiced dance myself for over 12 years. I've trained with diverse movers in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tel-Aviv, Israel and Fueteventura, Spain. Practices have included contact improvisation dance, contemporary dance, modern dance, gaga movement , tae-kwan-do, yoga and gymnastics. These practices eventually combined with my creation of film and gave me the unique ability to direct, storyboard and choreograph dance and movement.
