LA Times: Seed Council

LA Times: Seed Council

A contact from the LA Times called us a few months back and asked if we’d be available to shoot an event they were holding called the Seed Council. This would be a good time to reiterate the value of making a good impression on everyone you work with, never burning bridges, and [...]

[b] School: WPPI Trailer

It’s been nearly two weeks since Mark, Josh, Kevin and I got back from Vegas, and all that’s left now are some fond memories, a few photos and some pretty rad footage. We made the decision to trek into the land of neon partly because our client (the [b] School) wanted some work [...]

NAS Promo One

NAS Promo One

For a while now we’ve been dying to create our own content. We’ve contemplated doing free music videos, shorts, and even feature films, all so that we could have a say in not only the production, but the story and concept of a piece. All of our ideas have been pretty ambitious thus [...]

Boudoir Divas Promo

This was another of our collaborations with the always-amazing Bui Brothers. Being booked as often as they are, they handed us a drive full of footage and asked us to edit together a promo piece for one of their most cherished clients, the Boudoir Divas, as soon as possible. The Boudoir Divas are [...]

[b] School Promo

[b] School Promo

We first did work for the [b] School through our friends, and now associates, the Bui Brothers, who would eventually pass us the client entirely due to their overload of work. This was on of the very first pieces we worked on for the [b] school– a short promo for the first Premium Content [...]

Around October of 2008 a friend of the company, Chris Sheets (Fuel TV), came to us with some freelance work for a new (though not yet established) television network, Z City. The deal was that if he impressed them with motion graphics for their show (called 1ndsutry) open and bumpers, he’d attain them as [...]

Soon after our web series, Viral, was canceled we were in contact with Chris Cantore and Andrew Wehrung at X1.FM, whom we met when shooting a Viral Episode dedicated to the online radio network.

2000

In July of 2008 Cody came to Josh, Kevin and I with a proposition. He suggested that we form a team and enter the upcoming 48 Hour Film Project. We’d only heard of it briefly up to that point, so Cody filled us in on the details of the project. Each team [...]

Threadless Pitch

Threadless: The Newsletter Show

You are now watching: A Comicbook Orange

I’ve been working with Casey Mckinnon for the past few weeks on her comic review show A Comicbook Orange. Many of you might not know that I got my start studying fine art and illustration with the hopes of one day working in the comic book industry. I moved on to study animation and then film, and began working in new media a few years ago. I still have a great affection for comics and illustration, being that it was the catalyst that focused my creative drive when I was young. I’ve secretly wished to somehow continue a career in illustration, at times developing stories for online comics and drawing characters with my best friend Charlie in my spare time. Maybe one day I’ll publish some of our crazy comics.  Until then, working on A Comicbook Orange has been a great outlet .  I haven’t done much in the way of illustration for the series yet, but I did pen the winning logo for Casey’s contest .

Since submitting the logo, Casey has generously brought me on to direct the show and do a little production design and the open. It’s been great– Casey is so talented and fun to work with. If you like comics, fun, and quirky comedy you should subscribe and leave comments.  Look for other collabs coming soon with the talented Rudy Jahchan… stay tuned.
