These two commercials were a total riot to produce. Everyone involved had a ton of fun with it. I had promised to show these two spots when they were ready. I have always loved watching the old commercials and “teenage propaganda” films of the 50′s through the 80′s. We wanted to recreate this for these... Read More »

I can’t help to think about two things, which, happen to be related. One, working for Porcaro is awesome. Two, underwear. I’ve tried to explain to people why I enjoy this company so much.

So we leave today (hopefully) for an almost 4,000 mile road trip. The purpose? To get some amazing time lapse shots of famous US landmarks for a commercial. It will be an intense trip. I’ve built a custom time-lapse dolly that I am sooo excited to use. I will post pictures of it in action... Read More »
Click on the ad to see it bigger. The beauty of being the art director and the photographer is that means I have total control over what I (and the client) want. I was also very fortunate to work with these talented models for the ad. The girl, who will remain nameless (she doesn’t like... Read More »
So GCI, one of our most beloved clients, asked us Monday if we would make them a commercial for their cellular service. The challenge… they needed it as fast as humanly possible, no, something that only an android could pull off. We did it. One of the beauties of the media revolution is the way... Read More »
