From time to time, it is helpful to just spend some time creating and exploring for the sake of the exercise. The root of working as a creative is that fire that burns for imagination and storytelling. Not every venture is a success, but each time I step into something new, I learn about myself and my process. These ruminations enrich my ability to work with clients and my support team.

Stealing Canada

Stealing Canada is a television script written by Tyler Burton Smith. To create an opening title sequence, I took over 300 photos. Each shot was brought into photoshop and given a high dynamic range treatment (HDR). 

Solace

Solace is a 2010 Adobe Design Achievement Award semi-finalist in Live Action. However, this film’s story was created backwards. Most projects begin with a visual treatment, but this particular project did not find its narrative until the sound design fell into place.
