"Restoring the American
Dream" |
"It Pays to Make
Work Pay" |

These two clips are similar treatment for two different titles.
The client dropped the first title and went with the second
title. The choice of font in the second clip is similar to the
print material. |

NOAA
TRT 00:16.16
Client: Portfolio Productions, Michael
Vaughan
Storyboard: Pat Perry-Burgess |
The first two map sequences,
the zoom into the earth and the flyover, were provided by NOAA.
The challenge was to make these two very digital looking and
slightly jerky sequences fit with the beautiful nature footage
that followed. Using various effects I softened the mapsand
added clouds. The satellite that quickly flies through is from
a 3D model that NOAA provided and to which I applied texture
and then animated. |

This is one of five graphically
and conceptually identical ad for Litton/PRC to attract people

The background and the text "FBI,

text "Special Agent" added to it. |

Compositing |
Layers of images, video, music
and sound effects flowing into each other or flashing across the
screen, all synced into one seamless dance, will grab your attention,
focus the topic or energize the audience. |
Compositing allows the artist to
work in four dimensions to create motion and depth in what might otherwise
be mundane graphic screens. Camera imagery, drawn elements and software
magic combine to produce a finished result that is more than the sum
of its parts. Compositing can complement or replace animation in a
video clip, usually saving on production costs. |
Above are several approaches to compositing
using differing numbers of layers in a variety of videos that were
all meant to inspire people. |
