Little People “Aldgate Patterns”

I was approached by the production company WORK to direct a music video for London producer Little People‘s forthcoming We Are But Hunks of Wood LP. Shot in the deserts of California, I got to combine projection mapping with nature, two of my favorite things. Check out some behind the scenes pictures here: BEHIND THE SCENES

Some behind the scene photos from my first live action music video for “Aldgate Patterns” by Little People. I had a shit ton of help from some great friends making this, it was a bunch of work but super fun at the same time.

Processing.js + shapes

admin — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:24:28 +0000

An interactive experiment I created with Processing.js and html canvas. I was trying to experiment with using generative techniques to create a pseudo branding for myself. I made a generative “shape trail” that follows your mouse. The best part is that it all runs in browser so it opens up the possibility of doing more interactive motion graphics on the web. Its kind of fun to just mindlessly move the mouse and create unique compositions for some unique results, mess around with some custom buttons to trigger random effects in the sketch.

NEW WORK: Bank Of America | Shared Value Styleframes

admin — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:08:13 +0000

Did some style frames for a Bank of America pitch, figured I would share with you guys. Click above to see them larger. It was a pretty corporate/boring (yawn) topic but I had fun trying to fit into their corporate style. On a side note I’ve been busy directing my first music video, can’t share too much info at the moment but we are done shooting and about to move into post production, so it will be out soon!

Bank Of America | Shared Value

A Styleframes Pitch I did for Bank of America’s Shared Value program. It’s how a company can contribute both to the long-term success of its business and the communities it serves. Pretty corporate topic but it was a fun challenge.

US AID “5th Birthday”

I had the opportunity to do a project for a really good cause this past month. It’s to bring attention to the 7 MILLION PREVENTABLE CHILD DEATHS that occur each year. True but very sad fact. You can find for information on how to help here: http://5thbday.usaid.gov

New Project: US AID || “Every Child Deserves a 5th Birthday”

I designed, directed, and animated the spot using a combination of After Effects, C4D, and flash.

Experimenting with Processing.js

admin — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:42:48 +0000

I’m definitely still a beginner when it comes to JavaScript, but I’ve been messing around with processing.js. Processing.js is the sister project of the popular Processing visual programming language, designed for the web. In essence it allows you to create virtually anything you can make in Processing and then display it in a HTML5 canvas element. For my first “dabble” into processing.js I made a generative “shape trail” that follows your mouse. Nothing too crazy but it makes for some unique results, especially when combined with some custom buttons to trigger random effects in the sketch. I was able to get it full screen with the help of Anthony Mattox‘s info on full browser processing.js sketches. As well as some great tutorial help from the guys over at http://www.creativecoding.org If you make some cool stuff out if it, be sure to share some screen grabs, I’d love to see them. Above are a few screenshots, and here is a link to the DEMO
