Graphics for Delete Raiments

This is a graphic intro I made for Delete Raiments, a clothing line based in Austria. Its a raw graphic, and will appear differently in their final videos, but I wanted to post a sneak peek! I made it a bit too long intentionally to give the client some room to trim what they wanted. It'll also be spruced up with some "hipster" music as well I'm sure. This graphic, or some form of it, will be attached to their web videos that will soon be released.

"Contemporary America" at the Guggenheim!

So a few months ago, I edited a short piece called Contemporary America for frequent collaborator Dandy Noel of D14 Productions. Yesterday I got an excited email from her informing me that out of 23,000 submissions, it had made the shortlist of 100 for the Youtube Play Event. This event presented the top 100 submissions at the Guggenheim museum at New York and was also streamed live on youtube.com/play.

This is a concert piece I cut for Dandy Noel. What I think is most amazing about this footage was that it was shot with a small point and shoot camera!

D14 Productions Demo Reel HD from D14 Productions on Vimeo.

I'm part of a creative collective called D14 Productions. We are just getting started, so not much has happened yet, but one thing that we needed to kick us off was a sizzle reel for the company. After watching the work I had done for Neil Payne's demo reel, D14 boss Dandy Noel asked me to cut the D14 reel. What I loved about doing this reel is that Dandy literally gave me complete control and freedom on the project. Even though its her company, she wanted to see what I would do with it. Noelene suggested I use RJD2's "The Horror" which really set the pace and tone for the reel. I love vintage, old-timey, photos and images, so I used a variety in designing and animating the titles. They strangely work with the music. It was fun designing and editing this reel, and I look forward to what's in store for D14.

Music Video Friday

All day edit on a music video I'm currently working on for director Kevin Johnson. Fueled by only donuts and milk. Great looking 5D footage, the only problem was I was working with the full rez files so I had to deal with this the whole time:



LAME.

Neil Payne

I've recently been in cohoots with director Neil Payne of RockChalk Pictures, an Orange County resident whose portfolio includes music videos, commercials and short films. Last weekend I put together his demo reel, editing and titles:

A couple weeks before that I helped with post on his latest Nike Spec, "Hold That Bus". I'm credited for editing, but that's a very generous nod, as the entire thing is one continuous shot. I simply mixed and aligned the music and added the graphics at the end:



Can anyone guess what this video is an homage to?

Intern Wrap Up

Looking back, my internship experience at Goodspot was a mixed bag. I’m a little wiser for it, and I did gain some new friends, but it comes with some sour memories. After Goodspot, I took a short internship run at a post-production facility called Secret Headquarters. It was cool. The small staff was great. There was a marked (superior) difference in how this company managed itself. A good experience. Shortly after that in December I was lucky enough to get a job I found on Craigslist, working as a night editor for a company called Splash News. I’ve been working there ever since, now during the day with a bigger (still not big enough) paycheck.
