NINE13

I’ve already spent a month in the editing room, cutting Winter Storm, and I just realized that the tile card needed a serious revision. Although it’s not a big departure from the previous one, it does make a huge difference in the context of the short. I employed the branches of the below tree, which [...]

I cut this promo for the West Coast Clinical Summit at EEG Info. It introduces James Hood’s music, remixed exclusively for the 80 level expansion pack of Inner Tube 3.0 (Cygnet). James, aka Moodswings, has been making “transformational” music for the past 20 years. His electronic landscapes are the prefect fit for this game, where [...]

This post ties right into my Keepin’ It Real blog. My short, June Gloom, is almost done and I don’t mind sharing a couple more frames before the finish line. The below frame is from a 3 seconds long clip, right after the long shot of the prison pickup. I felt a need for the [...]

Another great day for the Gloom! I just picked up the finished posters and they are gorgeous. To me at least… I couldn’t find a more fitting month for our screening than June of 2011 and I’m really looking forward to it. The good news is that all the backers who requested artwork won’t have [...]

We’ve been making a lot of progress on June Gloom and even though the short is in the hands of the sound mixer and the music composer, I find myself still working on stuff. What kind of stuff? Things like finalizing the poster and DVD artwork and finding a decent printer. Creating title cards, quotes [...]

DESIGN 1 DESIGN2 Obviously, these are not the finalized posters but we’re pretty set on their layout. So knock yourself out, critique [...]

Just don’t let the flourishes swallow you on your way to work… [click image below] ..

We’re closing in on our completion date of ‘The Gran’ Scam of Things’ and what would an awesome short be without a proper poster? Half as awesome! I must admit, we already had a proper poster in the works but I couldn’t stop myself from making my own version. Two is better than none, if [...]

Sometimes, when you try really hard to come up with a new design and step out of your comfort zone, ultimately all you end up with is a glorified Tide detergent logo. I’m being sarcastic here of course, but I can’t help comparing this to the famous detergent box. In reality, this piece is a [...]

That’s actually not entirely true, because nowadays motion graphic artists create their own idents (station identification) to showcase their talent. It’s a fun and creative way of putting a signature mark on show reels and sometimes on projects. At any rate, I created these two designs as ident mock ups, but unless they start moving [...]
