Master the Pit

March – October 2024
Role: Editor, videographer, motion graphics
End client: The Pitmaster Collective

In early 2024 I got the chance to work on a series of masterclasses for The Pitmaster Collective, a BBQ subscription membership created by Texas pitmaster Brendan Lamb to offer discounts and perks at participating BBQ restaurants.

One of those perks was exclusive access to master classes that would be an inside look at how professional pitmasters create some of their signature BBQ dishes. We called this series of videos “Master the Pit,” and although I only got to shoot a handful of the segments, as the sole editor I was able to craft the look and feel of the series and tackle the editing of some truly intricate and masterful cooking (e.g. the veritable smorgasbord of meat and sides put on by Chef Ara of Harlem Road Texas BBQ).

Although The Pitmaster Collective as a whole was not a very long-lived project, the Master the Pit series was a great example of worthwhile eLearning content from a group of people who really know what they’re doing. Trust me, it really does taste as good as it looks.
