Pac(hyderm) Attack

This is a story my parents like to tell from their days traveling and working overseas. I interviewed my folks over Thanksgiving break and put this together.For this project I got to use the 3D (2.5D) functions of After Effects. I think it worked out well! Also, David Stamm came through with an excellent score for me. Thanks!

UPDATE! 4/24/2008

I’m submitting this to a festival, so I made some small fixes on imperfections that were bugging me.  Enjoy!

The Bag

This was a mock commercial, shot on a stage with a Bolex 16mm camera. I was going for a cross between a DeBeers diamond commercial and 007. I’m pretty pleased with it! I makes me giggle when I watch it.

Cheers!

The Garden

Produced this with a fellow classmate. A dark fairy tale about a garden. Working with children, interiors and exteriors, and the bolex camera was quite a challenge for someone used to digital video! However, given the challenges, I think we did well! I’m most pleased with the appearance of the Fairy. Just as I’d imagined it! Also, the sound mix was really fun to work on.

Profile of a Pacifist

I produced this with some classmates in an early production class. I was influenced by some things I’d learned in my Film Theory class, specifically the French New Wave (Renaise-Hiroshima Mon Amour), that helped me shoot some of the static stuff in a more interesting way. This piece is a profile of Andy Shallal, the owner of Busboys & Poets in Washington DC. He’s doing much more than run a cool restaurant, he’s providing a space for culture, art, discussion, and progressive politics and change. Enjoy!
