I wanted to include all the footage in the reel, but it was just too long.  If only I could cut it in half and run both pieces at the same time… Thoughts on the format? Let me know via the comments below.  Thanks!  

TG Studios was approached by Hasbro to produce a thirteen-episode animated series for the Transformers. • modeling and rigging each robot and vehicle • storyboarding • animation • rendering • compositing • sound   Here’s is the trailer for the series: And here’s the end credits for each “webisode”:

This was shot in two nights in Texas.  A majority of which was in a side room in a VERY busy restaurant with a freakin’ band playing in the very next room. Needless to say, audio was an issue.  If you listen closely, you can almost hear “Sweet Home Alabama”… Special thanks to the illustrious [...]

I fondly recall about six years ago… the early days of crowdsourced video stock and the thrill and convenience it provided to be able to pickup a great clip of footage for $5 that would’ve taken hours to create. Now – for reasons I can only assume are greed-induced, a decent video clip goes for [...]

The Rastelli Direct family is a very cool group of folks.  We had a lot of fun shooting the interview segments of this piece as well as having the pleasure of directing the talented Tinamarie.

  Imagine a better dressed, much cooler & down-to-earth Tony Robbins… Meet Alex Arnold. This brief teaser is just the beginning of a massive campaign underway for world class entrepreneur, Alex Arnold. Look out for a web site, more video, a book, potentially a documentary, (hint, hint, Alex!).Visionary, Alex Arnold equips the average Joe and [...]

One of the tricks with doing a conference is that the clients typically ask for a recap video to show the troops during the last day of the show.  What few realize is that with all the green screen shooting between the conference meetings and the footage from the actual conference itself, you end up [...]

CieAura launched a just a couple years before this post.  One year, 50 countries and over $100 million in sales later, I think they may be on to something… I got the call from an old friend working with CieAura asking for 3 videos: a 3:00 Motion Graphics business opportunity piece with a few green [...]

Peerdrum is remote workforce monitoring software. I desperately needed a way to monitor remote worker’s progress. Initial design/development submissions were tending to be far enough off course that with the time it would take me to correct them and give updated direction to the remote worker, we’d quickly be over budget – repeatedly. Peerdrum lets [...]

Following a series of marketing videos for the multiple brands of IsXperia, superstar network marketer Jason Camper called and needed a :60 teaser video within 24 hours for IsXperia’s live event that weekend. Jason sent me a logo, the name of the music track they wanted to use, textual bullet points, and an audio file [...]

This was a fun shoot for Anutra, all with a Canon XH-A1, live at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando. The decision to shoot the formal portion of the interviews with the founders was done on the fly with no tripod or mic stand, so I’m balancing the camera on a wobbly table with the mic [...]

ThinAir Wireless needed a way to automate their sales presentations and software features demo with one swift click and endless GoToMeeting demos and live Powerpoint sales presentations were becoming increasingly inefficient. Robust fleet tracking and management software doesn’t lend itself to glitter and explosions, so the idea was to combine their existing powerpoint and software [...]

The main goal was to consolidate a lot of interview footage into a concise 3:00 presentation while peppering it with product motion graphics.  I keyed out the green screen with Keylight and created dynamic backdrops that fit with the style of the brand, without distracting from the subject. I wanted to make it look as [...]

Highly recommended for those of us who hate holding the phone to our heads…    

If I hear someone open up with “In this economy…” one more time, I’m going to hurl a shoe at them.  For me, the Economy has only helped fuel the inevitable. The Internet is now oversaturated with promises of Cohen Brothers-like video artistry from every moron with a camera willing to work for scraps.  So, when I got [...]
