My Video Work

My videos are enjoyed in board rooms, at comedy shows, on professional websites, and all over the internet, where they've been watched over 50,000 times. I create original video content for arts and culture blogs, shoot and edit creative documentaries, produce promotional dvd's, edit highlight reels of my stand-up comedy showcase, and create my own original sketch comedy and short films. Scan down the page to see some samples and read a few glowing testimonials.
Woodturner Tim Kennedy at Kellar Mahaney Gallery, Zionsville, IN (length - 2:41)
Featuring art gallery Kellar Mahaney's owner Lolly Schoonover and artist Tim Kennedy. I wrote the music specifically for this piece, and shot and edited the video.


Off The Street Club Thanksgiving Dinner (length - 2:00)
I had not planned on doing a video that night, but decided to let the kids run around with my small digital camera, taking photos and videos of themselves and their friends. The result is a decidedly low-fi video that nevertheless bubbles with charm and is still one of my favorites.


Glamorama 2008 Loves Chicago 2016 (length - 2:31)
I took a stand-up comic friend to Chicago's biggest fashion event to to do some man on the street Q&A with some pretty ladies to find out what's so wonderful about Chicago. I shot, edited, and wrote the music as well as the quips for the ladies.



Sarcastic Squad at Berlin (length - 2:14)
I shot, edited, and wrote the music for this Outworld.tv highlight reel of a Sarcastic Squad stand-up show, at Chicago's Berlin nightclub.


"Elizabeth has been filming my performances for years now. She is uniquely supportive, in my experience. She knows how to make the cameras disappear, as it were, so everyone's comfortable. She has a wonderfully light touch. And her editing skills are top-notch -- she's fast, clever, and really gifted. I'd use her again any time."

- Robert Buscemi, comedian, actor and writer

"McQuern can always be relied upon for top notch work. Her professional video and editing work catches the essence of performances every time, and her photography captures performers looking their best."

- Adam Burke, comedian and writer

"Elizabeth has consistently supported my work as a comedian, and her work as a blogger and producer has been invaluable to uniting Chicago's stand-up community. I recently had my first opportunity to truly collaborate with Elizabeth on a film project and was extremely happy with the results. Elizabeth's gifts for enthusiasm, open communication, and her ability to create a high-quality product despite a limited time frame allowed the project to come off without a hitch. I am very proud of our final product, and impressed with Elizabeth's ability to match my creative vision."

- Cameron Esposito, comedian and writer

"Elizabeth McQuern is a consummate professional. Whether it be producing videos, photography or work-shopping projects, she is 100% committed to the task at hand and offers a unique and varied skill set."

- Andrew DeWitt, writer, comedian, actor, and illustrator

"Elizabeth's attention to detail exhibits a genuine concern for her client and a relentless quest for a first-rate product."
