Video Production: Simple man-on-the-street interview.

Video Production / Motion Graphics: Boxed In (2010 Census PSA) - Direction & Post

  • Storyboarding and conceptual imagery.
  • Original video production.
  • Location scouting.
  • Costume design…very custom! Actually, finding a costume sized box was harder than expected. We did contact a few appliance stores with no luck. Eventually NW Sporting Goods on 82nd was good enough to donate a large cardboard box.
  • A Highschool friend, Kevin Lax, works in the film scoring business and he was incredibly gracious to score this and “April Snapshot."  And it is superb work! I wish I had a link to his portfolio.

Post effects work includes:

  • Scene extension (advertisement erasure, compositing)
  • Color correction and Vignetting
  • Animated Message and logo Graphics
