Primus - 'Lee Van Cleef' music video

Nostalgia — Sat, 26 May 2012 12:14:01 -0400

I had the privilege of working on this music video with a talented group of people. During my time on this project I developed a large tool kit of painted textures and sequences for vignettes as well as some secondary elements like bushes, rocks, and the building faces. With only one shot consisting of actual 3D this music video pushes the limits of what After Effects is capable of with some very impressive 2.5D work.
Since its premier on TeamCoco.com it has been featured on Motionographer, Gizmodo, Cartoon Brew, Devour, and

Tiger Beer - "Battle"

Nostalgia — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:08:59 -0400

I had the privilege of working with a large talented group of individuals over at Brand New School for 2 of three spots created for Tiger Beer. Along with 2 others I worked on animating the strands coming off of the man with the blue jersey. We did this in Cinema 4D and hand animated each one in order to have the desired amount of control.

Wells Fargo - Stagecoach Animatics

Nostalgia — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 20:54:58 -0400

Two of several animatics or motion tests I did while at Gilmore Media to help Wells Fargo visualize how their logo a 6 horse stagecoach could be represented while moving. The stagecoach is a very detailed painting hence the paint theme.

The two here are my favorite two.

Wells Fargo - Hello NYC 01

Nostalgia — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:52:51 -0400

While at Gilmore Media they were contracted to produce content for Wells Fargo’s large format in store displays. Starting in late January and finishing in mid March the team produced over 30 individual pieces.

During this campaign I was responsible for overseeing videographers, screening dailys and sending selects to clients, shooting time sensitive or specific things myself, handling 3D design and animation, 3D tracking, overseeing and or working on all 20 of the spots needing compositing.

Walgreens - Conveyor

Nostalgia — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 12:30:32 -0400

The first task I was charged with as a staff member at Gilmore Media was to bring this set of lush boards produced by designer Kareem Scurry. The conveyor concept originated from one of the first spots Gilmore Media produced for Walgreens’ Times Square store displays.

During the two weeks I brought this project to life my favorite parts were creating the splashing of the Walgreens bottles and the opening of the flowers on the camera page. My only wish is that sound design was done on the job, but could you imagine if all those screens in Times Square were playing sound?

The Storming - GFX Selects

Nostalgia — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 22:20:42 -0500

Cause & Effect contacted me to see if I had any experience in 3D tracking for this set of titles and graphics for “The Storming” a snowboarding video sponsored by Monster Energy drink. Having successfully tracked something in 3D earlier that week I was the man for the job.

Turns out that tracking a shot consisting mostly of snow shot with a fisheye lens was harder then the shot I did previously. But with the help of Art Director Ben Yonda everything was delivered on time and the Client, Studio, and myself were happy.

Check out the 2010 Before & After Reel for examples of the work that was done.
