This was the first video in a planned series featuring my interview with a former serial jewelry store robber who, after serving a sentence of 11 years in prison and becoming reformed, now dedicates his life to helping jewelry business owners deter crime against their stores and employees. I developed the concept, conducted the interview, created the graphics, and edited the video.

In this video, one installment in a series, a jeweler tells his gut‑wrenching story about the day criminals held him and his staff at gunpoint while robbing his store.  I conceived this video series and developed its ominous and suspense‑building  storytelling voice. I also guided the editing to enhance the video’s dramatic effect.

The two videos above, part of the Secure Business Series of videos, used simple animation to convey important security lessons for jewelry businesses. I conceived, scripted, and made storyboards for these animations.
