Here's the latest video project for Pearl Izumi completed within ten days. We shot at Base 2 Studios in Denver and filmed at 60fps to somewhat capture a slow-mo, over-cranked feel. Although, the deadline was incredibly tight, and inevitably went right down to the wire, it was a great learning experience and quite fulfilling.

I've been teaching myself Cinema 4D, a really fun program. It's surprisingly easy to get a handle after a few tutorials.
Take your typography to the next level and learn a 3D program such as blender, maya, or my favorite so far, Cinema 4D.

Twins fans are eager for outdoor baseball. Minnesotans have some level of pride withstanding subzero temperatures throughout the year and with the modern design of Target Field, they can now scream play ball without the booming echoes of the metro-crap-dome.

This billboard positioned above famous First Avenue reveals a mixed message. An ad friend and I passed by a couple weeks ago and asked, "so they're looking foward to rain delays?" 

Today, after lunch I followed some dudes talking baseball who did happen to look straight at it and heard mumbles of bewilderment.

I give it a 5.5/10

Something overcame me to make this. It was fun to experiment with some different images. Some original, but mostly stock footage.

A creature's natural defense mechanism is no match for human ignorance.

I created a spec print campaign for World Wildlife Federation (WWF). Specifically, endangered sea life. 

"Their only true Defense is your Offense."

This is No. 1 of 3.

Myself and two ad school friends, Michael Ziman and Jon Reine, made this 30 sec spot for a Snickers viral/traditional commercial contest. Poptent.net, a social video community, was running the contest a couple months ago. We did not win, but we did place in the top 20 out of 500 user submitted videos. Not too shabby.

At least LA rapper MURS made an appearance. They couldn't even get Kobe for this spot and had to opt out for Lamar Odom...

bahahaha... sad.

Happy V day everyone.
