Running the Gamut
One of my biggest challenges is focus. I thrive on multiple creative pursuits—restoring photos, converting and enhancing old films, editing video with subtle sound effects, and using music as a storytelling tool. My true passion, though, is adding period-accurate laughter to both classic and modern television, blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling. (yes, peculiar, I know. Hey, the world can always use a little extra laughter, no?).
Here is a collection of works I have dedicated my free time to. I hope some of it resonates with you.

A little laughter
PEANUTSA nostalgic enhancement of the 1975 Peanuts special Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, now featuring a classic laugh track reminiscent of vintage studio audience reactions. This project adds a new layer of charm and warmth to the beloved holiday special, capturing the essence of 1960s and 70s television humor.

THE MIDDLEA reimagined version of an episode from The Middle, incorporating a traditional laugh track to enhance the sitcom’s humor. This project explores how classic canned laughter, akin to that used in mid-century television, alters the comedic timing and feel of a modern single-camera comedy.

THE PINK PANTHER SHOWA throwback to the original 1969–1980 broadcasts of The Pink Panther Show, now restored with its signature laugh track. When the series first aired, the canned laughter was seamlessly woven into the animated hijinks, making the viewing experience feel like a shared event. However, when the show entered syndication in the 1980s, the laugh track was removed, changing its tone entirely. This brings back the vintage charm, recreating the classic laughter to match the original broadcasts and recapturing the playful energy of Saturday morning cartoons.
