  • Sharpie
    Helped out my friends at Draftfcb with this down and dirty homage to "The Expendables." A tongue-in-cheek movie trailer lead-in to an otherwise tame Sharpie demo. If only my Sharpie could spit fire, I'd surely buy more.

  • NHL
    :30 spec promo for NHL. C4D and After Effects with a little TFD love on top. I composed the score with some sweet SFX compliments of Jared Stachowitz and Jason Ryan. Special thanks to Rick Thompson for his much needed encouragement and art direction. And thanks to Tom Mackey for his amazing eye for detail on the engravings. I couldn't have finished this without ya!

    A side note - all visuals created on my MacBook Pro in HD and music composed on my iPad. Who needs a stinkin' office?

  • Oreo Wonderfilled Treatment
    I had an incredible time working on this pitch. No go for the agency, but potential for another project down the road.
    Advertising, Motion Graphics, Storyboarding
    2013
  • Kmart Treatment
    One of a slew of treatments presented for consideration. 3D elements created in C4D. I later adapted this execution for a personal project.

  • LowPoly Island
    On the low-poly bandwagon for a spin. Fun to experiment with flocking behavior on the gulls.

  • Love/Hate
    A short from a monthly themed personal project series. C4D/AE. The theme for this one was - you guessed it - love/hate.
    Creative Direction, Graphic Design, Motion Graphics
    2012
  • Bleeding Heart
    Another take on the love/hate theme. Used jiggle deformer with vertex mapping in C4D, and Trapcode Particular for blood spatters.

  • Valspar Poster
    Poster design exploration. Didn't make the cut, but I like where it's heading. C4D and Photoshop.
    Art Direction, Digital Art, Print Design

  • Kim
    I'm working on an abstract pastel portrait for my wife, Kim. Dimensions are roughly 30"x 40". These details show my progress. I hope to update with the finished piece soon...

  • Taco Bell
    A small selection from various tags and supers. I've spent about 3 years developing this match-move look for Taco Bell. All work was completed remotely in Chicago in conjunction with our West Coast office.

  • Qwest End Tag
    There you go again. Braggin' bout your big HD. Form and Particular and Optical Flares, oh my!

  • Kmart
    A couple TV highlights. Did a whole bunch of color correction on the backgrounds, animated supers and threw a few CG jellybeans in for good measure on the Easter spot. Created a graphic bed for product offers on the Jaclyn Smith spot. This was the first look developed for Kmart's seasonal sale campaigns. "Mr. Bluelight" character created by Gravity.

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield
    Graphics portion of a longer piece for DRTV, a Form and Particular love-fest. Five days, start to finish.

    2012
  • Qwest Concept
    Concept for new business pitch. I wanted a break from the usual "super" so I hooked up with the insanely talented Jared Eberhardt to direct this little number. It helped secure a win in it's own small way, but never saw the light of day again. Sound familiar?
    Cinematography, Creative Direction, Set Design
    2012
  • Under
    Short test of C4D's hair and dynamics systems. No idea where where or what's going on here, but I liked it well enough to turn it into a title card for the reel. I'd like to get back to this one.
