Welcome to my business website. I am a software developer and video writer/director working on the U.S. West Coast.
The Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program from HP
The series of videos I created for Hewlett-Packard's Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program are now available.
The Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program from HP allows people who bought certain models of HP or Compaq PCs with Windows Vista to upgrade to Windows 7 free of charge. This series of videos guides users through the process. It gives them an overview of what's involved, then guides them through each step, letting them know how to determine if their PC is eligible, how to order discs, how to prepare for the upgrade, and then do the upgrade.
I researched, wrote, and directed the series for my client, Barbara Pickering, at HP in Cupertino, CA. The videos were filmed and edited at Beyond Pix in San Francisco. As usual, Beyond Pix provided exceptional crew and facilities to make the production a success. Photography by the exceptional director of photography Pete Fuszard. Talent by the always funny and easy to work with Bob Brindley. Editing by Kai Yu, who knew just what I wanted. Special thanks to line producer Debbie Brubaker for her production assistance and taking care of me while I was in San Francisco.
