DIRECTING, EDITING & MOTION GRAPHICS

Mondo partnered with SpinMaster to create a channel for kids.  I directed and edited this 2 minute subscription sizzler.  I also designed the SpindoTV logo and logo build.

This is an excerpt from a longer Kickstarter campaign introducing the new Happy Tree Friends' KaPow series.

Mondo's gamer fans were screaming for their own channel so we gave em the FATFINGER! I directed, and edited this 1 minute tease and designed the logo and end slate menus.  (The mondo bumper at the beginning is just one of about a hundred I did in that vein)

This is the opening movie for the Centipede game mondo developed with Hasbro Interactive. I storyboarded, directed and edited this piece.  I also designed all of the creatures and backgrounds as well as directing all of the 3D animation.  (Please excuse the low quality of the video. The only copies remaining are pretty small - but you'll get the idea at least!)

This is an in-game cinematic for the Centipede game that introduces our hero.  I boarded, designed, (including "The Shooter" and that fun four poster bed!) directed the 3D modelling and animation then edited this piece  (Please excuse the low resolution of the video.)

In the Centipede game we developed, when completing a level, the user gets to see a little video showing the hero celebrating in various ways. This video shows five of them stitched together.  I designed, (check out those magazine covers!) directed, edited and did the motion graphics for all of these psychedelic interstitials.  (again as with all of the centipede samples, please excuse the low resolution of the video)

We wanted to reward high scores in the Centipede game, so we split up the final cinematic into three stories that could be used independently or strung together for a longer narrative.  If the player got a low score, they got to see the first part of the story, if they got a medium score they got to see a little bit more of the story and if they got a high score they got to see the whole thing.  The challenge was to make sure each part could work as a complete story as well as working when strung together.  This piece shows all three parts together.  I designed, directed and edited all of these.

For Shalom Bayit's Creating Hope Gala, we solicited the community to post videos of themselves expressing different ways to "Be the One" to help end domestic violence.  After coming up with that overall theme for the event, we provided prompts people could use as well as encouraging them to share their own original ideas.  As you can see, the videos provided ranged greatly in framing, lighting audio and quality, so it was a challenge to edit them all together to get a smooth flow.  (The music is a song by The Cure)  NOTE: I did NOT design this Shalom Bayit logo.

It was fun to come up with all of the transition sequences when I designed, directed and edited this energetic intro for the Monopoly Casino game.  Please excuse the video quality as this sample is pretty low resolution.

Mondo partnered with Bite to feature Canadian animation.    I directed, and edited This new episode teaser and also designed the opening and end slates.

We created a whole virtual launch party using a lot of Sims characters including VIP rooms with celebrity interviews and performances by "Sim" versions of Avril Lavigne, LL Cool J, Beyonce, and Ludacris.  I designed the "room" and directed the 3D modelling and animating team to get those awesome dance moves!  I also edited it all together and did all the motion graphics.  (this is just the celebrity performance parts of the longer launch party video) Please excuse the low resolution of the video.

We used the actual in game characters and animations in this cinematic intro to the Nerf Arena Blast game (we did for Hasbro Interactive).  The game immerses the user into a laser tag type sports league where they not only pick their opposing team but get to use the Nerf gun of their choice! (modeled on real Nerf gun toys)  I headed up the team and we got to design entire teams including the team logos and team uniforms and the home arenas for each team, it was literally a blast!  I designed, directed, and edited this piece as well as designing the end logo and doing all the motion graphics.

I directed and edited this little shout out to the creators for their nomination.  Like a lot of the interstitials and promos for the channel we liked getting that home made feel.  This one was cobbled together from creator and fan footage.  (The mondo bumper at the beginning is just one of about a hundred I did in that vein)

I directed and edited this heavily textured trailer for one of HTF's massive multiplayer games.  I also designed the Deadeye Derby logo

WARNING:  Cartoon Violence, Not for small children or big babies!  

Ha I loved that line when I wrote it and we've used it a lot for this property.  It is extreme cartoon violence, so if you're not into that sort of thing you might want to skip this one.  I directed and edited this 1 minute sick and twisted blood fest! The fans couldn't ever get enough of the crazy tragic deaths of these characters, so we gave em what they wanted! (The mondo bumper at the beginning is just one of about a hundred like that that i did)

The fans really wanted to see some game play footage from Happy Tree Friends Run & Bun game so I directed and edited this really simple trailer using a lot of the game assets I also designed the Run & Bun logo for the game.

I directed and edited this DVD ad after I came up with the Complete Disaster name and designed the DVD packaging.

WARNING: Cartoon Violence!
