The Stranger

This is a project I made for my final piece in an art science and technology class.

End of May, beginning of June I'm going to be working on a number of music videos, so here are a few I've been enjoying lately...

This is pretty sweet too.

Framez

Last year I made this piece called "Welcome to My World" for my frame by frame animation class. I did all of the animation and then just let it sit on my hard drive for a year.

I recently learned a little bit about making music for films so I finished the soundtrack over the last couple of days. This is my first stab at writing a score so don't be too harsh on me.

I also shot this during the filming for Linwood Barclay's featurettes, just a short reading from his newest book.


And I know this is alot of viewing and most of you will be like fuck this after 3 or 4, but all of these are truly inspiring to me and I hope you enjoy them.

Lewis Cruise

Last night I finished this video for Lewis Cruise. I filmed the skating over two days downtown in the summer, then we kinda got slack on filming the intro, so I finished it for a lighting project this week. ;-)

It's been quite a bit of time since my last post and for good reason. For the past three months I've been working with my good friend Spencer Barclay on two featurettes for his father's novels. Aside from that, my computer went kaput, and everyone who's ever lost anything from a computer garb knows how much damage control one has to do to secure their long hours of work.

So on to some new content for your painful months in wait...

I recently compiled my work of 2009, and my new portfolio is available here with demo reels on the CV page at 720p or 360p.

Here are the two promos for Linwood Barclay...



And as always, here are some other good time killers.

Maple Thanksgiving 2009

Although cold and miserable, the few who endured maple at thanksgiving this year got to once again participate in a family celebration of another kind.

No password.

And as per unusual, some definite gems from the interweb above and beyond the call of duty.

Gotta give a big shout out to timescapes and their vault of knowledge for a forum. I've learned so much and solved so many problems over the past couple years by reading these pages and asking a few questions. Here's a few demo reels from timescapes' big cheese. Respect.
