In candidacy with Complex Networks as front-facing talent, candidates were tasked with a number of video assignments asking to "show us not only what you can do -- but to showcase your personality as its own brand."
Complex was not only looking for the next new face of its brand, but also for a creative mind that could pitch and produce series ideas that would go into official production within the Complex Networks portfolio.
This was a cutthroat competition featuring the top creative talent of the nation.

In Candidacy
COMPLEX NETWORKS TALENT
The following three videos were created on a completely independent basis in candidacy with Complex Networks. Each video was meant to depict not only what you could do, but also showcase your personality as its own brand.
​
Assignment descriptions can be found below each video.
I ended up being cut at the final round, but the opportunity to participate in the race itself was nothing short of a true honor.
VIDEO 1 | The first assignment was to answer the question, "why should Complex Networks pick you?"
VIDEO 2 | The second assignment was to put together a pop-culture news update, from ideation to writing to set design to production and editing/GFX.
VIDEO 3 | The third assignment depicted me "fighting" for my spot with Complex through a series of video game and 360 visuals. Later in the video I take the Complex team through a number of series ideas I'd be interested in producing given the opportunity.
