My good friend from Alex Acosta from Courtesy Acura needed a short promotional video touting the benefits of a pre-owned certified vehicle. Not much to say about it, except I did everything here; shot, edited, graphics… everything.

I produced this video at the Crawford Group back in 2006. I thought it was good to post this holiday season. Basa icool!s really

I help produce this video at the Crawford Group with Ted Chandler for a local print shop. Hopefully, the video tells you everything you need to know about that company.

We just finished this :30 commercial for Remington College to help introduce the Medical Health courses to 14 markets. The spot was designed and animated by Shawn Romano from driftminer.com.

He has consistently done excellent work and created a fantastic looking spot that Remington College loved. Once Shawn passed us the animated files, we added the music, versioned the spots out for the 14 different markets it would play in (from Baton Rouge all the way to Hawaii).

The initial edit for this project was a 30 minute documentary about an elementary school in Orlando, Florida. Fern Creek Elementary was an F rated school in a low income neighborhood, and the documentary highlights the changes the school went through and how it became an A rated school.

This 8 minute edit was done after the 30 minute version was completed. This is a very condensed telling of the story, using the general arc of the story and soundbites that speak to the overall picture. The 30 minute version is, of course, much more in depth.

My buddy Shawn Romano found this. I saw this and loved it! Fantastic job by Mr. Johnathan Jarvis.

Shawn wrote: “It was created by Johnathan Jarvis as part of his thesis project at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. I think it does a great job of breaking down such a complex economic issue while keeping things entertaining.  There’s a massive HD version available as well.The only thing I’m not too keen on is the acidic bright green that’s used throughout – it’s a bit hard on the eyes. A minor complaint for such a great piece. Check it out!” You can check out Shawn’s blog here.

I found this to be top notch. It’s a really dumbed down explanation, and it leaves out Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac’s involvement, but overall very well done.

I worked with Benji Clyde to edit this project. I loved the freedom I had to do some off the wall style editing;  playing with multiple images on the screen at once; or the same image multiple times using different compositions. I really enjoyed the time lapse shot of the members of the church. We also found some great camera filters which can be used in post; my favorite is the bleach by-pass filter. It’s like salt and pepper to a chef! I usually run to that first because I love the look and texture it adds the footage. Especially if I have some footage that was shot on a pro-sumer camera that needs something to punch the image up a bit.

Overall, the church loved the video and uses it to introduce first time visitors to the congregation and it’s staff.
