Together with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, we produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag – an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live.
Our collaboration with Cory and Ming has been a phonemonal experience and you’ll see a lot more great work coming from this team. Check out this featurette, which goes behind the scenes and shows how we put it all together.
Special thanks to Campion for taking a risk with me. Without the bravery of a good client, we wouldn’t be able to bring you work of this caliber.
Extra special thanks to B2Pro Lighting, Red Camera & Jarred Land.
Extra extra special thanks to Chuck Carey and the good people at Troika Design Group without whom we would still be waiting for renders.

Just ran into this video by the White Rabbits directed by Andrew Droz Palermo. It is a definite watch. The simple set design and circular motion really make this video stand out. This just goes to show you don’t need a complicated and expensive video set to create something amazing. The circular movement really helps you experience the flow of the song. When a music video matches all the elements of music, editing, and lighting together, it’s a beautiful thing. It can make you really feel a song. This video reminds me of one of my old favorite music videos by Taking Back Sunday.
LED lights have always amazed me and they seem to be popping up as beautiful art pieces. I would love to have this Wind Activated LED display somewhere in my city at night. This was made by Jason Krugman.
“Conceptually, this project developed out of an idea to create a modular system that does not rely on a central decision making hub, such as a computer…Wind is one of the few natural phenomena that can penetrate the dense urban environment. However, we can’t see it because it needs a media to propagate through. The city, constructed of glass, steel and concrete, is intentionally rigid, not allowing nature to affect it. By purposefully adding a physical media for the wind to affect, we can make it a prominently visible feature of the urban environment, bringing natural beauty into densest urban thicket.”

Before traveling to Brazil, Jimmie Rodgers camoflaged his camera in hopes that it would prevent people from stealing it. Using only tape and a sharpie Jimmie made his camera ugly.
“I was able to take over 5,000 pictures with it in Brazil. I was able to follow around a number of well known graffiti artists, and you can check out some of the pics here. I was also able to go into some fairly dangerous areas, and walk out with my camera. I was even mugged a second time, and they left my camera alone, and took my $20 cell phone instead.
The reason wasn’t just the camera. It was my whole image. All my clothes I had bought in the communities, and I had little of anything on me when I went out. Speaking some Portuguese helped as well. I also NEVER took pictures of people openly (you’ll get your camera taken regardless). I don’t advocate going into the same areas I went, but try to be smart anytime you are in a place that theft is common.”
