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.
Here’s our “Living” Magazine Cover and Spread released with the October issue of Outside Magazine. Photographed with the Red One camera, we created our vision of how a motion-magazine of the not-too-distant future would look based on emerging technologies like flexible OLED and E Ink.
Music is “Gone Gone Days” by Two Years Before the Mast and “I Like Van Halen Because My Sister Says They Are Cool” which has got to be my favorite song title in the world by El Ten Eleven. You can buy El Ten Eleven’s music here: itunes.com/elteneleven
Now I always have had pleasent experiances with New York’s finest, but it only takes one rotten apple to ruin your day, and I know some of you have been harassed. If you are planning on photographing in this great city, do yourself a favor and know your rights. This operations order was issued in April and serves as a reminder to the good men and women in uniform that not all photographers are potential terror suspects. It couldn’t hurt to carry a copy with you, but of course don’t forget, a little respect and common sense goes a long way.
