Riverside Plaza
Make
It Snow (12MB WVM)
This was Produced in Nov. 2005 at the Riverside Plaza
for and by Charter Media.
I
was the producer/director on the project. The reason you find it here
is for the animated snow I added in post.
It was shot on the Sony HDV Z1U
with a couple Arri light kits and a lot of help from the cast and crew.
All
editing and post work was done on Sony's
Vegas 6.0.
Santa
is just about the nicest guy you can find. If you're looking for a Real
Santa, I highly recommend him.
Grandpa (Ed) and Grandson (Michael) were
booked through Brand Model and
Talent Agency.
The spot airs on Charter
Communications.
Riverside
Plaza
The
Make Up (12Mb WVM)
Shot December 8 between 6pm to 10:30pm and edited
Dec. 12-13, this spot was something of a rush job.
Still, the talent (Amanda
and Grant from Brand Model and Talent Agency) did a great job and the results
pleased the client.
Of couse, this wouldn't have been complete with a cameo
from Santa.
Lighting was just one step
above "run and gun." We set up simple lighting and let our Z1U
do most of the work.
Of course, this was heavly color corrected in Vegas
to get the colours to be a bit more rich and film-like.

Top
Choice Mortgage
Chains
(12MB WMV)
Produced in Aug. 2005, this spot was a serious challenge.
I mean, getting my two actors to PULL A HOUSE! How crazy is that.
Shot
for and produced by Charter Media,
the editng, post production and special effects were done here at MVP.
Once
again, talent was hired through the good folk at Brand Model and
Talent Agency.
Also shot on the Sony
Z1U, all post was done on Sony's
Vegas 6.0. Specials effects were done in NewTek's
Lightwave.
The spot airs on Charter
Communications.
City of Rancho Cucamonga
E-Waste (12MB WMV)
This
was another fun spot where I got to use my animation skills. Shot "on
location" in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, this was largely conceived by the clients.
They knew they wanted to promote folk bringing in their electronic waste
and wanted to do it in a humerous way. So we brainstormed and came up
with what you see.
All the basics from above still apply for the equipment
used, post production and talent agency. You might even recognize
the lead from "Chains," who continues his roll as a man who has house-hold
problems. The only thing added to the mix here is for the sparks
and smoke, I used Particle
Illusion 3 by Wondertouch.
