I spent 2 months as a videographer for Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn to Life. Here’s a collection of the videos I shot and edited.

If you've seen our #FeelGoodFriday post, then you know 8-year-old Sydney Russell and how she wowed the crowd at Magic Kingdom Park - and then many, many more online - with an adorable, impromptu dance in her Princess Tiana costume.

Slow-mo Promo

I shot and edited this piece in between rehearsals. I pitched the video to Cirque and they decided to use it. It was cut down to a 1-minute version and posted on Cirque’s Twitter.

Wall Signing

Cirque painted a wall backstage black for the cast and crew to sign it. I documented it and cut together this video.

Earlier today, cast members from Disney's Hollywood Studios were treated to a surprise sneak peek of the progress underway at the Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway attraction - by none other than Disney Parks, Experiences & Products Chairman Bob Chapek himself!

Press Conference

I shot and edited video for a 2-hour press conference promoting the show. This is just a minute of the footage I shot. This was my first assignment for Cirque that wasn’t documenting rehearsal, and I did well enough to expand my job and get more projects.
