Hangover Square
This past April or May a friend of mine (who would like to be known by her web identity “Lady Estrogen”) said she had an idea for a music video. I said lets do it. She said o.k… nearly 10 months later, said video gets done. We actually shot in August and I just found [...]
Going Global
I just finished the on-line of the “first” episode of a new series that will air on a number of networks around the world including CNBC World. I say “first” because we did an earlier episode on China, but I think this will be the first episode. The series is called Going Global and it’s [...]
Playing With Fire
I was shooting an episode of Let’s Shop (letsshoptv.com) in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit last week. One day we stopped in a glass shop in Puerto Vallarta, and the shop has a few artists sitting around creating some incredible stuff. This was one of those artist… but i didn’t get his name. I’m lame. [...]
The Science of Sin
I’m just wrapping up the graphic design of a documentary series called “The Science of Sin”. It’s a series that examines the scientific reasons why we sin… (hence the title). It airs every Wednesday throughout May on VisionTV, starting tonight, about 20 minutes ago actually. I’m not apart of the promotion team. After broadcasting [...]
First Skate
This is a short film of the kids skating on a backyard rink. I shot everything with the 5d MkII and because of the low light, I went with the 50mm 1.8 plastic fantastic lens. I think I had it wide open at f/1.8 the whole time. I didn’t write down anything so I can’t [...]
WTF… the first season
It’s a new year so I just want to go over some of what I worked on over the past 12 months. Actually i’m just going to recap one project in particular. WTF… What The Future! finished it’s first season very strongly. Starting out the show had a really cool intro (in my humble opinion) [...]
Playing In Leaves

WTF hits the airwaves
A couple of Saturdays ago (July 31st at 8:30pm) WTF | What the Future… with Warren Kimmel had its debut on CNBC World. In case you are interested in checking it out, full episodes are up on whatthefuture.tv right now. It’s a cool show produced by Warren and Re:Source Media. Edited by Dennis Chan and [...]
Tee’d Off
I’ve been working with a company for the past year on a few projects and this is the latest. It’s a marketing video designed to give a glimpse as to what they offer. Working off of existing marketing material I scripted and voiced the narration and created the motion design to reflect what the company [...]
What The Future…
I just finished the final edit on WTF (What The Future…). It’s a series being produced by Warren Kimmel and ReSource Media. Warren also hosts and as i’m writing this i’m on-lining the first episode. It’s a really cool concept for a show. The footage is great, the stories are great… all in all, a [...]
Ask a Designer
www.houseandhome.com Earlier this year, sometime around January/February, I was asked to edit a couple of web-isodes for Canadian House & Home’s new on-line video “channel” and their “Ask A Designer” series. I was going through some work and remembered doing this and thought I’d share it. The videos are short, quick and full of good [...]
WTF… some raw footage
Last week I was downtown and at the airport shooting some footage for a new show’s title sequence. The show is WTF (What The Future…) produced by Re:source Media. The shoot was directed by Dennis Chan and the host/producer is this really nice South African fella named Warren Kimmel. I’ll be editing the final intro [...]
A Tree Film
I recently bought myself the Canon 5d MkII. The reason I sucked it up and spent the cash on the camera was because I actually needed to shoot some HD footage for a project I’m working on. Instead of renting and hiring a camera guy for basically the same price for a few seconds of [...]
Lifeguards Save Lives
Earlier this week I put together another shoot for this water park project i’m working on. For you technically inclined people… I shot the pool scenes with my Canon 5d Mk II, using 2 lenses. The 135mm L and the 24-105mm L IS. Tad from Storystream helped set up the shoot and we did the [...]
The Screen is Green
Just finished a day of green screen shooting downtown at Sterling Studios. The shoot was for a project I’m co-producing and directing right now with Forrec Ltd. The final product is set for a mid-April deadline, which is when I’ll be able to actually get into the details of what its all about. Anyway, it [...]
The Magazine House
I recently completed an effects shot for a client in Texas. They wanted a house to appear out of a cyclone(ish thing) of magazines, but they didn’t want to do it in a 3d program because of the cost. That’s where me and After Effects came in and after i pushed a few buttons and [...]
For Sale Direct Commercials
I just completed a commercial campaign for a new real estate company. ForSaleDirect is actually a sell by owner real estate company. Anyway, the people associated with ForSaleDirect are great, and the brand of the company is really simple and cool so I enjoyed coming up with a motion design that fit into their established [...]
