Lavinia’s Heist Title Sequence

Grounds Zero Title Sequence

Brooks

I don’t know much about photography. But I do have a roommate who is pretty big into it. He recently, he applied to Brooks, a fairly well known photography school in Santa Barbara, CA, and for the past few months has worked weekends on photo shoots for Little League sports photo sessions, or Girl Scout [...]

Half Glass Man

No Fringecast. Sorry friends. When your life is split between working a fulltime job, writing projects that have been slathered in potential career boosting juice, keeping up with a mildly interesting blog, directing and producing a short film that has been called “the coolest Christian sex thriller short since, well, ever” (okay, so it hasn’t, [...]

Colon Cleansing

The short film has a title: “The Canal,” which is everything you don’t expect from a movie with that kind of title. It’s a throwaway title, a gimme title, a title that sort of says everything and nothing at the same time. I know none of this makes sense without the script in your hands, [...]

A True Maxim

Target one has been destroyed. My Irish beauty, the script I spent three years on has undergone its first major overhaul, and it’s now complete. Finito. Until the next draft. I won’t have a chance to look at it again until sometime into April. Because it’s on to the next project!
Which is actually three. I [...]

I’ve Gone And Done It Again

I think I may have…oh no. I have.
I’ve been roped into directing a short film. Oh wait, I’m sorry. That would be one thing. But I’m writing and producing too. Which makes it three things, for you math challenged artsy types. That’s triple fudge sundae with all the calories and a complimentary heart attack. The [...]

On the Horizon

I woke up today with the distinct impression that I had been productive. It wasn’t entirely illusory, either. I spent a bit more than eight hours on a short film credit sequence “rough”, which I’ll be meeting about today. It looks good. It’s got a Tom Waits vibe, which is hard to describe but easy [...]

Grounds Zero Titles

As promised, though a day late, is the title sequence I’ve been working on for the past month. The short film is about three coworkers at a coffee shop called Grounds Zero. The sequence runs just over a minute and includes a hybrid of hand drawn artwork, computer vector art created from scratch, and animated [...]

Easter Rites

I finished up the titles render for “Grounds Zero”, the short film starring Mo Collins and Keegan Michael Key, listening to Lyle Lovett and thinking about Easter, grateful for the beautiful cloudless sky for some odd reason–it’s not as if we don’t get them often here in SoCal–and appreciating my existence in a manner that [...]
