COLLISION EARTH One Sheet

Ryan — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:34:02 +0000

With all the force of a massive planetary body smashing into our own fair Earth, the one-sheet for Collision Earth has arrived on the web! Promising of all sorts of fiery devastation from above – for Europe in particular, based on the trajectory of that incoming planet – the poster sums up the film’s premise with the spoiler-alerty tagline “When Planets Collide”. ”Worlds Will Collide” might have been a bit punchier but hey – I only got to write the movie, not the tagline. The premiere’s set for early 2012 on the SyFy Network and if you can’t wait until then, blink incredibly rapidly while staring at the poster – pretty sure that’ll make it seem like it’s moving. Or cause you to black out. One or the other.

New Razor Scooter Commercial

Ryan — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 06:48:29 +0000

Just wrapped on a brand new commercial for Razor Scooter! It was a great shoot for a really fun product – one that may or may not be artfully silhouetted to my left. More details to follow as soon as the cut comes together. Rest assured that the commercial’s for something that your son/daughter/niece/nephew will definitely want to see under the Christmas tree this year, especially after they see the ad on Nickelodeon, Disney XD and any other channel that’s dedicated to pure awesome. Stay tuned…

New LXD Episodes Online

Ryan — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:22:39 +0000

While my obsession with Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots isn’t exactly a secret, I never thought I’d get to write and direct anything that features them. While they’re dancing. In a junkyard.

Click here to watch Salvage and Reprogram, my first episodes for season three of The LXD. Then check back next week for another brand new episode!

GAME ON Now On DVD

Ryan — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:14:01 +0000

I’m excited to announce that Game On has just upped its game! Following its theatrical release with Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, the 3D short – which I put together with the insanely talented Harry Shum Jr. – is now available on DVD. It kicks off the Director’s Fan Cut edition of Never Say Never and is available at Target stores starting right…now! So grab a copy of the disc, complete with a handsome keepsake box and a Justin Bieber necklace, and fire it up on your home entertainment center to relive the magic. Click on the image below to find out more info about the DVD. Helpful tip - while the short isn’t presented in 3D, it is if you unfocus your eyes and sit really, really close to the screen.

Believe The Myths

Check below for the latest piece of action-packed behind-the-scenes content produced by myself and Christina Ferguson for The LXD. The first of three chapters in The Mythology Of The LXD - a documentary that will be featured on the DVD release of season three – this installment takes an in-depth look at the mysterious origins of the Extraordinary 7. Shot and edited by Joel Schroeder, this doc is the first of many that will be coming your way every week this summer!

Previously On

As part of the run-up to Wednesday’s premiere of a brand new season of The LXD, here’s a “Previously On” piece I produced with Christina Ferguson. Recapping seasons one and two, it ends off with a tease of what’s to come (Robots! Romance! Another word that begins with ‘R’!) Click, enjoy, then brace yourself for Frankenstein-fueled, lens flare-filled episodes of pure awesome.

The LXD: Rise Of The Drifts

Ryan — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 20:46:33 +0000

So its officially official – the third season of The LXD, codenamed The Rise Of The Drifts, will be premiering on a Hulu near you on August 11. I wrote and directed three chapters of this season, which captures epic dances in an epic fashion for an epic story of good versus evil. Also, it’s epic. You can peep the poster and trailer – produced by an elite team of awesome people known as Land Elsewhere – straight below.

SYTYCD x2

Ryan — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:30:04 +0000

Two surprise connections to So You Think You Can Dance this week. For Wednesday’s show, District 78 did a symphonic remix of Game On, their title track from my 3D short that was in theaters earlier this year. Check out the performance in the first clip below and click here to buy the track on iTunes. Then, earlier tonight, the LXD took the stage and brought the house down. You can watch their performance in the second clip, which serves as a tease for the third season of the show – more on that very, very soon…

Mixing It Up

Sound mixing on new episodes for season three of The LXD and the bass just rattled one of my fillings loose. Bring earplugs.

Performed some camera tests over the weekend – here’s the result. And even though it’s a little late, happy 4th of Canada Day.
