Corporate Projects

I also produce, direct, shoot, and edit corporate projects. I take these non-Hollywood projects even MORE seriously than the Hollywood feature film stuff - because they give me an opportunity to showcase my talents beyond cinematography.

"Kaiser Permanenete - Consistent Messaging" (2006) - A tounge-in-cheek customer service video. With exception of the script and casting, I did it all - producing, directing, shooting, editing, motion graphics and music.

"Kaiser Permanenete - Kaiser Possible" (2005) - A corporate short film about customer service. The theme, look, and feel of this movie is "Mission Impossible" meets "3rd Rock From The Sun." I'm most proud of the editing I did on the film's title sequence - on par with any Hollywood movie. View Title Sequence

"Otholt's Guide To Interview Style" (2005-2008) - I shoot alot of interviews for corporate, documetary, and commercial television. Here are some sample screenshots of various looks for your amusement.
