He shouldn’t have played ball unless his agent could swing him some above the title action…
Thinking About Short Films

Short films are the future of cinema.
There was once a time when shorts possessed little cultural currency, and many would argue they do today. However, I think there is going to be a big upswing in shorts-filmmaking-by-choice in the near future. Read the rest of this entry »

This is something I’ve been working on the last few days for an upcoming video. This is meant to be viewed large, so please click on the preview image above to see the detail in the high-resolution copy. I’ve managed to refine a style in Photoshop that involves home-cooked patterns, polygonal lasso tool, and lots and lots of layers (this one had over 75!). It doesn’t look as clean as vector, but I like doing it this way. The former pieces took about 12-15 hours to complete. This one took around 5-7. The process is getting faster.
I used this style several years ago on some movie-related portraits. I’ll upload those shortly.

2009 was the first year in recent memory when I did not produce or release a short film. This is a pretty big deal to me, as I’ve completed around 5 in the past three years. However, I definitely had plenty to do as I enjoyed the last leg of a film festival run for Fingers. Here are some of the videos I worked on in the past year.
Please let the videos load for a few moments before playing them. All of these videos were completed at Vision Teleproduction, Inc. in Kansas City, where I work full time as a producer and editor.
“Circus” – Drew Brees
Editor, Graphics, Effects
As a sports fan, this music video was a lot of fun. I tried to marry the spectacular offense of the New Orleans Saints with the carnivalesque atmosphere of their home games. We completed this video for our client Premier Sports for the yearly 101 Awards banquet which honors the best offensive and defensive players in the National Football League. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning received the offensive honors; ironic, since both of their teams are poised for a deep playoff run this year. I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll need to put together another video for one or both of them… Read the rest of this entry »
