Alice In Chains "Black Gives Way To Blue" Mini Doc

2009-11-20T16:25:00.000-08:00

I would say that it was a EPK and that was what we were hired to make, but after spending several hours with these guys, it became aware that it was going to be much more than a typical EPK. I had the chance to sit down with them as each individual revealed a part of their heart and where they stood after years of trials and tribulations. Every member of this band is a stand up individual. As a band they have carved out a place in music history.

Saosin "Changing" Music Video

2009-09-17T13:03:00.001-07:00

Saosin is amazing! What a great group of guys with a passion for what they do.

What a whirlwind of a production. Two days to prep the shoot and roughly three days to online and deliver. Morgan Susser was my main DP with Chayse Irvin operating 2nd unit camera. Shot on the RED One and the Canon 5Dii - I THINK everyone involved had a great time. Looking forward to the release. A big thanks to Colin and Danny for making it happen and Bucks Boys for really pulling through on getting everything worked out.

There is a "Making Of" video... ha.

IDN is an amazing magazine to begin with and should need no introduction to anyone involved in design. It looks like they hit it out of the park with this release though so if you have a chance to pick one up, do it now.

The DVD can be purchased here: http://idnworld.com/books/?id=twenty120

Working on The Deer Tracks video and though it is coming along slowly, it is coming along. I am working with an artist by the name of Scott Belcastro on this who is absolutely amazing. If you have not heard of him, look him up and buy something of his.It is always a great opportunity to work with artists who I am fans of.

Preparing to head to Comic Con on Friday with Alex. The entire weekend is SOLD OUT so it should be pretty intense.

The Twenty120 screening went really well. Cinespace was a great location and the sound system was unbelievable. HUGE thanks to Connor Swegle for asking me to participate this year. Connor is super cool and works his ass off to make that show happen. Will have it posted on the portfolio site very soon HOPEFULLY.

Across the Universe

2007-10-16T22:22:00.002-07:00

Back in September of 05 when I was working at Prologue Films, we began to work and pitch on the vfx sequences for Julie Taymor's new film "Across the Universe". Below are some of the frames that I made and was pleased to see some of it making it into the movie. A big congratulations to Julie Taymor for seeing her vision realized. It was truly a pleasure to work on.
