Well, It started on Commercial Kings. I was lucky enough to edit the episode of CK that featured Chuck Testa. I had a blast working on this series. The second clip is from the Tonopah, NV episode. There was so much material for this episode that didn't make it for time reasons. Such a shame. This is one of my favorite episodes. Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings chronicles the quest of life-long best friends Rhett McLaughlin & Link Neal as they travel the country making epic local commercials for some of the nation's most deserving local businesses. This reality series is based on the successful web series I Love Local Commercials and features Rhett & Link helping local businesses achieve their goals by creating eye-catching local commercials. http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/Mouthbreather http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/following/toddzelin/Mouthbreather Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:04:42 +0000 Todd Zelin - Editor 1509863 Mouthbreather is a short dark comedic film written by Emmy Award winner Emily C.

Erin A low budget feature, it was shot on the Red camera in 16 days. The first clip (and my favorite) on this page is actually the finale of the film. All music and SFX are temp as the film is still in the final stages of post-production. http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/Back-Home http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/following/toddzelin/Back-Home Sat, 02 Oct 2010 17:45:00 +0000 Todd Zelin - Editor 674260 How one boy found hope in the scars of Rwanda. Back Home is the first and only film about Rwanda made by an actual survivor of the 1994 genocide. It is the true story of director JB Rutagarama. I was the final editor on the film, pulling it all together after being in the hands of three different editors over two-year span. I also edited the film’s trailer.

From cheesetastic celebrity clip shows, to hard-hitting news documentary. This page is just a smattering of random clips I couldn't leave out.

The show follows John DeSilvia and John Palanca, owners of Design Tech in Brooklyn, as they build, demolish, renovate and refurbish projects all over New York. Beyond the massive construction projects, JD and Palanca deal with the daily drama of their small business including demanding clients, strict city officials and staffers with questionable work ethics. Funny, exciting and innovative, Under Construction breaks the mold of Do-It-Yourself television. I was involved in the post-production of all three seasons of Under Construction. The editors had the most freedom I've ever encountered while working on a show. A basic structure of each episode was written out by the show producer/lead camera, and handed to us. From there the editors had full control over their rough cut. We wrote all the voice over and sit down interviews for each episode. Then the show would get a notes pass by the show producer and EP. It was incredibly challenging and also a nice change of pace to work with almost complete creative license. http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/Battle-on-the-Block http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/following/toddzelin/Battle-on-the-Block Sat, 02 Oct 2010 15:13:29 +0000 Todd Zelin - Editor 674148 Clips coming soon. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55336/674148/key_art_battle_on_the_block.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="260" width_o="900" height_o="350" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/55336/674148/key_art_battle_on_the_block_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/Commercials http://cargocollective.com/toddzelin/following/toddzelin/Commercials Sat, 02 Oct 2010 15:12:16 +0000 Todd Zelin - Editor 674146 This campaign for AAMCO was intended to instill nostalgia in the viewer by reminding Americans of the long-standing relationships they've had with their cars. AAMCO Old Friend :30 AAMCO Love Affair :30 AAMCO Family Member :30 Eve Online is one of the longest running and most respected massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG) on the market. Working directly with the company, CCP, I crafted several versions of this :30 spot based off a four minute trailer they produced for the game's Empyrean Age expansion.

Are you too shy or think you're not "cool" enough to get in on the action? Or do you simply lack the self-confidence and motivation? Well, maybe it's time to stand up and get MADE! Shot mostly single camera documentary style over 4 - 6 weeks, MADE presents unique challenges for everyone involved. Editors start cutting 2 weeks into shooting. As we hone the story in the edit with story editors and producers, we relay back to the field so that we can more effectively guide the shooting. We end up with approximately 150 to 250 hours of raw footage that will be turned into 43 minutes of television. Jessica wanted to go from super organized girly-girl to rocker in this episode. This was one of my favorite episodes to cut. The dynamic between Jessica and the coach (Josh) was great. The flawless shooting and field producing made this episode come together extremely quickly. So much great material hit the cutting room floor simply due show length. Click here to watch the full episode. Being known as the gay drama kid isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you're surrounded at home and school by jocks. So Steven wanted to prove to everyone, and especially his dad, that he could be more then just a thespian. He was going to make the varsity baseball team. This episode had the most censorship of any show I've ever worked on. Steven's language was so foul at points that MTV's Standards and Practices wouldn't even let us "bleep" him. We had to recut scenes around his language. This is another one of my favs. Click here to watch the full episode. The Mosher's, a rotund family, all wanted to get in shape for their daughter Cindy's Sweet 16 party, but, when Cindy's older brother (the most in-shape of the bunch) gives up, the family almost falls apart.
