I built an AI content pipeline that publishes a media accountability channel every day across three platforms. Here’s exactly how it works, and what it took to get there. The channel is called The Buried Lede. The format is simple: one media outlet, one thing they got wrong, two links, their article and the primary source. Every day. Substack, Instagram, TikTok. Here’s the system: **Four automated workflows, one human checkpoint** Every Monday: An n8n workflow […]

Editing a Long-Form LSAT Interview for YouTube Recently, I picked up a side project editing a long-form YouTube video for Steve Schwartz, whose channel helps people study for the LSAT and improve their chances of getting into law school. The original interview ran a little over an hour. The goal was to turn that into a tight, watchable YouTube video without losing the substance. We landed at around 26 minutes, which meant making a lot […]

I shot this video over 7 weeks in April – May of 2023. It was exciting to focus on only the animals. The bats were specifically interesting as they roosted in just a few trees in one location. In the evening they would all start to get active and finally leave the trees in search for food. The hornbills are pretty much everywhere but you have to be ready to shoot as they swoop in […]

In early August Pete invited me to join his ride through Hà Giang Cao and Bằng Vietnam in exchange for some drone flying and tips and advice on filmmaking. Of course I said yes! I had always wanted to do more motorbiking around Vietnam but never got around to it. Pete had previously done 5 long tours through the Sapa region and in Hà Giang so I knew he would be an excellent person to join for […]

In early July DJ Mizuyo was playing at an all-inclusive block party in nearby Sathorn when the promoter approached me and asked if I could help take photos as they had not hired one themselves. I obliged and had a lovely night with amazing music from Foli Sosso and African food cooked by the event planners. We got lucky there was no rain as the venue was beautifully set up for the occasion. Enjoy the […]

Lockdown in Thailand means you get to enjoy your surroundings. Khao Lak is a beautiful place to be “stuck” for a lockdown. While the national parks were mostly closed, the beach was open with surf and there was one stretch of the Lam Ru National Park that was open for the full fare. It is a jungle walk from the main entrance down to Little White Sandy Beach and you come out at the main […]

There is an island where it rains cashews and the sand is millions of tiny seashells. The wind carries the squabbling of great hornbills and salty sea breeze of the Andaman Sea. Rainbows are around every corner and the Milky Way galaxy shines bright in the dark sky at night. This is a real place called Koh Phayam. I went to join some friends who had recently flown into Thailand from Germany and finished their […]

To most people Covid-19 started in March 2020. For me it was January 2020 when I was in Shanghai, China. We had early reports from Wuhan of some kind of virus outbreak and the city was under lockdown. With no experience of a pandemic we really had no idea what to expect or what it meant. Soon Shanghai and most cities in China were under full lockdown. In my apartment building we needed a “pass” […]

In early October I was invited to join Burma Boating on their exploratory sail in the Anambas Archipelago. They were looking for a new chartering area for their clients and knew of the archipelago in the South China Sea. It is mostly known for vast oil resources but not well-known for tourism despite its incredible snorkeling and diving spots. We climbed aboard the 95-foot superyacht Aphrodite with Australian captain Simon and headed out for 5 […]
