Finding the perfect music in an almost endless library of songs can be difficult. Fortunately, I got very lucky with this one. For image pieces, such as this, we would often license a popular song we heard on the radio or through other media, but this one was in our vast music library.

Once the song was decided on it was just a matter of finding the best shots from each film to match the music and there we went.

Licensing and using the hell out of a song for high-profile spots became common practice at a certain point. Here we used, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" by Fall Out Boy.

Using an expensive song long always meant that there would be edit after edit done to complete these spots as managers wanted this or that added or taken out of the spot.

Some movies were more important to the channels than others. Broken Embraces had some star power but it wasn't something that everyone was watching. So I didn't get a lot of support when making the spot, but because of that, I was able to make the broken shard effect with the images that made this spot a bit different. I didn't have a lot of time to make it though, so it looks a little less polished.

Spartacus: Blood & Sand was Starz's first real success in the world of original programming.

I was tasked with creating character long-form pieces as well as the premier POC (promo over credits) that would air just before the show. Using interviews and footage from the shows I scripted each character piece and worked with video, graphics, and audio editors to create these pieces.
