ABOUT
I was brought on to edit the title sequence and celebrity packages for Netflix's groundbreaking live broadcast event, "Netflix is a Joke Presents - The Show Before The Show." This live talk show was a star-studded celebration of Chris Rock's Selective Outrage comedy special and featured a cast of icons including Dana Carvey, Arsenio Hall, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. What made this project even more special was my reunion with the fantastic duo of former Jimmy Kimmel Live Executive Producer Jill Leiderman and Director Joe DeMaio.
Working under a tight deadline, I crafted a dynamic opening sequence that set the tone for the entire show. Lush imagery of the iconic Los Angeles skyline and Sunset strip blended with steadicam shots capturing the historic Comedy Store, all of which were filmed less than 24 hours before the special aired! To create a cohesive look, I used Adobe After Effects to create stylish mixed-media transitions by blending in shots of the Comedy Store signage, filmed on the director's iPhone, with other textural elements.
The result was a visually striking opening sequence that set the stage for an unforgettable live show.
