Sports programming has always been a slam-dunk for Brian. He has directed national and international competitive events for all of the major broadcast networks and many cable outlets.

Factual and Entertainment producers call upon Lockwood for his ability to find the story and beauty in most anything he directs. Animal Planet's "Trail Mix" combined both story telling and musical performance in a High Definition special. Artist included Leeann Rimes, Sheryl Crow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ronan Tynan, Rob Thomas and Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Lockwood also directed "American Thunder" hosted by Chad McQueen and Michael Madsen and "Wings of Glory" hosted by the 3rd man to walk on the moon Charles Pete Conrad for Speed Channel. The beauty and beach is easy to find in over a dozen "Miss Hawaiian Tropic International" pageants he's directed. These reality based pageant specials included Ryan Seacrest and Downtown Julie Brown as Hosts and Lockwood directed special guest that performed sketch comedy including: Leslie Nelson, Benny Hill, Joe Piscopo and Fabio.
Brian has also directed concert specials, music videos and DVD's for the likes of the Motley Crue, Dave Matthews Band, Elton John, Cypress Hill, Eric Clapton, Linkin Park, Van Halen, Peter Gabriel, Smashing Pumpkins, Avril Lavine , Goo Goo Dolls, Bush, The Black Eyed Peas, Metallica, George Strait, Extreme, Twisted Sister, Great White, Fall Out Boy, Willie Nelson, Metallica, Sheryl Crow, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and the Pussycat Dolls. Comedy Central has called upon him to direct their comedy/dating hybrid show "Defending Your Date" as has Budweiser for twelve national live sixty second commercials "Bud Light Live" that were broadcast live on NBC during the first commercial break of the network hit "Friends".

From the beginning of his career, Lockwood has been on the forefront of digital technology both in production and post production. Some twenty years ago he founded Broadcast Edit, a cutting edge post-production facility that was a mainstay for many major broadcasters and production companies in Southern California. As an expert Avid, Premier editor, Lockwood is the Senior on-site editor for "American Flat Track" on FOX and was senior editor and system designer for "NASCAR'S Sprint Cup Series" for 12 years. Brian remains in demand and regularly is asked to edit the programs he directs.
