Bill Wagy from Bill Wagy Productions rang me up and asked me to design an animated intro for a film he was shooting about the Sarasota Opera, one of America’s finest venues. The SO has a unique logo that I felt could play a central role in the animation.
The Opera company is world-renown for its performances of Verdi, so I chose Verdi’s Triumphal March from Aida.

This is a :15 second commercial that I produced to support a contest for tickets to the Star Trek Exhibition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex. I modeled the Enterprise in Cinema 4D; the ship, transporter Fx, space starfield, etc., were composited in After Effects. The sound Fx, music and voice-over were added in [...]

This is a :30 second commercial that I produced for a client who is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The client already had a pre-existing standard definition commercial. I was recommended to them, and they asked if I would step in and re-image the spot in 1080 HD. The client’s agency sent me the green screen [...]
This is a :30 second commercial that I produced for a client who is based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The client already had a pre-existing standard definition commercial. I was recommended to them, and they asked if I would step in and re-image the spot in 1080 HD.
The client’s agency sent me the green screen video via ftp. After looking at the video I felt I could help the client achieve their objective.
I generally work backwards, so the first thing I did was to design the motion graphics animation for the logo, which you see at the end of the commercial. Everything else flowed from that; the look, feel, and pacing. The client approved all changes, and chose the background color.
Even though the commercial is in high definition, all graphics are 4:3 title safe. This is a practice that will one day become a thing of the past when everyone is watching television on high definition sets.
Once approved, I uploaded the finished commercial via ftp for broadcast by local television stations in the Cincinnati market.

This is one of those challenges that you encounter every now and then. The client came in with a :15 second campaign. Production goes off flawlessly. The actress is a joy to work with. The crew is terrific. During Post-production, the client changed their mind and decided they now wanted a :30 second commercial not [...]

During Post-production, the client changed their mind and decided they now wanted a :30 second commercial not a :15.
No time to re-shoot, just ‘fix it in post.’

This :30 second commercial won the 2011 Addy Award for Best Television Campaign. I was inspired to write it after seeing the classic commercial for Perrier that advertising great, Hal Riney, created.

I was inspired to write it after seeing the classic commercial for Perrier that advertising great, Hal Riney, created.
Using that as a starting point, I conceived the idea of branding an image for our client around the idea of old world/new world.
I wrote the commercial in an hour, and story-boarded it at home later that night. The client loved the concept immediately, and approved the finished commercial as is.

This :15 second commercial won the 2011 Gold Addy Award for Best TV Campaign. The client loved the initial :30 second spot so much, he asked for a new commercial. Rather than just do a cut down, and shorten the first one I created an entirely new commercial based on one of his many services. [...]

This was a wonderful commercial to be part of. I had five terrific actors to work with. The ad agency who repped the client could not have been more pleasant to work with. And, the production crew had a great time. And when the project was completed, the client loved the spot. Couldn’t have asked [...]
