I recently had the opportunity to animate some titles and on-air graphics for a new branded entertainment show Along the Way for Under Armour. Working from designs by Second World Design out of Boston, Massachusetts I was able to quickly turn out some simple, clean and effective motion graphics. The show is due to launch later this month and I will update with clips once they’re released.

This video was put together as part of a pitch for the Portland Timbers. Unfortunately it didn’t go our way but the video was still a fun little piece.

An updated take on the ’07 spot from the Regional Coalition for Clean Rivers and Streams. With a new campaign beginning featuring a series of useful tips for day to day activities we wanted to do a refresh of the PSA spot that was the first project I shot at Coates Kokes. This turns the video into a sort of VH1 style pop-up video and is ended with my favorite part of the project – the new end tag.

Really no budget on this one at all, but I think we’re all really happy with how it came out. It starts airing on Monday.

For the second year in a row at Coates Kokes put together a web-based Holiday Card for the Port of Vancouver. This time it was Art Directed by Alicia Mickes, Copy by Karl Schroeder, a bit of motion graphics prep work by Ryan O’Reilly, leaving me responsible for animation, editing and sound design.

It was actually a really fun project to work on – got to use some of the newer animation features of Adobe After Effects and really had the opportunity to do some character animation for basically the first time.

I had a bit of a different aesthetic in mind for the project – I wanted to make it a bit more atmospheric – but the clean lines of the animation were the consensus in the group. I might go back just for fun and throw in a bit of my own sort of style.

We did a series of TV Spots for The Register-Guard newspaper out of Eugene, Ore. Produced entirely in-house, I shot, edited and did the graphics for them. My Dad was the gaffer for the project, Karl, Martha and I were the creative team.
