The third visual effects shot coming down the pipeline lately. We should add that this shot and the previous two we’ve already put up have nothing to do with one another. They’re all purely for us to experiment with some cool visual ideas. Enjoy!

Here’s another visual effects shot we created with the help of a couple talented friends of ours, Cheetah Platt and Tyler Tankersly.

The first of many visual effects shots we’ve been producing lately. When Cody gets trapped between two enemies, what will he do??

This was our submission the Doritos “Crash the Super Bowl” contest this past year. Unfortunately we didn’t make the cut, but we still had a blast making it and learned some interesting new techniques.

A compilation of some of the work we did throughout the year. Looking forward to even bigger and better things in 2010, stay tuned!

We produce this series in association with Dare Fusion and  Bang Zoom Entertainment.

Casey is so talented.

We made this Promo for our friend Liz Beck.

Even though Frank has been with us for a while now, we thought we’d put together a little sample of his talent.  Frank Silas brings all things awesome to the NAS crew, and always pushes us to the next level.  Using his mastery of 3D artistry, Frank has worked for top gaming and film companies, [...]

This episode of The Green Room features the band Company of Thieves and was shot on location in San Diego at the Casbah. We shot with the Canon 5d mark II, the HVX 200 and Kevin shot multi-picture sequences with a Canon 30D.

This “Project” comes once a year, it’s something, as  a crew, we look forward to. Its a shotgun blast of production we have 48hrs over the weekend to write, shoot, edit and finish to turn in on Sunday.  There are luckily a few things in the production phase that we can kinda prepare for like [...]

We teamed up with The Bui Brothers to help out friend and colleague Gustavo Fernandez, here’s more information about the project: The HOG For Kids Project is designed to raise awareness and support for impoverished boys and girls in the Dominican Republic (DR). Many Dominican children grow up in extreme poverty, giving them a disadvantaged [...]

What you (hopefully) just watched is the pilot for a show about up and coming indie music artists–specifically an intimate viewing of a song from their live set.  This shoot was literally run-and-gun.  What you see was not pre-concieved and we had no prior information.  Our friend Chris Cantore called up Josh one day and [...]

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 [...]

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 of course [...]

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 from us, [...]

Here’s the rest of the footage we shot at the abandonment that Cody found in Vista. Again, we never intended it to become anything special, but as we shot more and more that day, Josh decided that we should all do our own mini shoot. This is Cody’s edit of the clips, and these are [...]

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 far, which [...]

Almost immediately after the cancellation of our web series, Viral, we were introduced to social media consultant and popular tech-blogger Jennifer Van Grove. She approached us in hopes of getting an interview about the life and death of the show, and we happily obliged. We set up a few cameras in the studio for a [...]

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 made up [...]

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 Episode: [...]

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 a [...]

We were honored when Chris Cantore, a friend and often collaborator, came to us with news that the Surfrider Foundation was interested in doing several online spots about water conservation, and wanted to use us. Josh attended a Surfrider meeting with Chris to get an idea of what they were looking for. Not long after [...]

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. They loved the episode, and coincidentally our work as a whole, and told us they were interested in working together on [...]

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 would have exactly [...]

San Diego Experience: Pilot 4th edition This project was the start of it all. This is the 4th and probably the final iteration of this San Diego pilot but who knows. The pilot itself sits unfinished but here are some great clips from the show we produced a few months ago. On February 11, 2006 [...]

Threadless: The Newsletter Show Threadless.com became one of the first sponsors of the show Viral so we created a segment for them called I Heart Threadless. After the third season change we could no longer include the segment and because it had become such a fun creative outlet for us and the fact Threadless has [...]

Websense: Sales Convention Presentation We collaborated with our good friend and action sports photographer Torey Piro to create a dynamic presentation for Websense’s annual sales meeting in Las Vegas. We tracked multiple shots in Shake for the opening montage but unfortunately because of copyright laws we can’t show here. Here is the opening animation we [...]

Viral: A Brief History After we Launched the San Diego experience OTO (one time only) on Fox 6 in February of 2006, we began work on several other projects. During the development of these projects the growth of new media was exponential. Inspired and intrigued by shows like Ask a Ninja, Ze Frank, KitKast and [...]

Veoh Bumpers: During Veoh’s soft launch and early days NAS was commissioned to design and create several bumpers for various purposes for the network. We collaborated on each with the company’s marketing department and Veoh’s clients to complete each. Most of the bumpers we designed were animated in Motion with the exception of 2 or [...]

Here’s your chance to really feel the raw creativity that we offer at N.A.S. The motion graphics reel shows our capabilities for openers, music videos, commercials, and…well, you name it! The sky is the limit when it comes to motion graphics, and we’re always excited to come up with new zany ideas.

A showcase of the many different genres of work we do at N.A.S. In the production reel you’ll see everything from internet shows, to behind the scenes footage to exclusive concert shots with Gavin Rossdale. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride that we call the “production reel”.
