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.

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

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.

04_goldbond_firebutt

A spec ad I created for Gold Bond Medicated Powder. This is No. 1 out of 3. titled "Fire Butt" for obvious reasons.

I used layered high res photos as well as myself as the model. Hand painted, scanned, and further developed in Photoshop.

Look out for the other two!

Bi_nary_code

 

So I've noticed my counterparts apologizing for being lazy and refraining from posting to their respective blogs, but I'm not in a forgiving mood for I have been just as lethargic. However, I've committed myself to begin a healthy habit and share my honest opinions as well as my art.

Approaching faster than that obnoxious tool you don't want to speak with or look at, is my new portfolio site. I've designed it with Flash and it's dynamic to say the least. Pretty hip for a non-conforming hipster I must say. Moreover, I'm designing my first creative mash-up book. No, not a digital book. No copies for your stupid kindle reader. Where does this motivation stem from? Well my friend, the annual 2010 Student Ad Summit is one week away where leading creative professionals in the Minneapolis area share their wealth of knowledge.

Currently, I work freelance for Pocket Hercules, but I'm searching for something more secure. You know... benefits? Hopefully, I find someone worth dating for awhile. 

Today is day 1 of my personal project. This piece is titled "Bi-Nary Code" Drew this a few months ago and I've finally output a version I'm pleased with. Open for interpretation, although I have a clear story behind it. Comment if you'd like to understand.
