Green Lantern - Motion Poster

I created this motion poster (aka "living poster" in some circles - the nomenclature hasn't been standardized) for a meeting with Warner Bros. There is no audio because this was designed for a mall deployment.  We made a guess as to who might be cast to play the Green Lantern, and we were right! I may add audio at some point just to make it more impactful.


UPDATE: Thursday, May 5, 2011

I found this official Paramount Pictures poster for Green Lantern on the web that almost exactly matches the image of the character aiming his ring at the viewer just before the light flare wipes to the title.  Interesting...

"The Boys" Theatrical Trailer

MAX-Q's (my former company) trailer for a great feature documentary "The Boys" about the famous songwriting team, the Sherman brothers.  The title comes from the fact that Walt Disney called the Shermans "The Boys".  The documentary was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and produced by the the sons on the Sherman brothers, Greg and Jeff Sherman, whom it was a pleasure to work with on the trailer.  Gene Gamache and I produced the trailer.  I designed and finished the titles in both 2D and Stereoscopic 3D.  In 3D, the "magical lights", appeared both in front and behind the titles, and looked great in 3D space!

Gary The Tennis Coach - Sales Trailer

This is a Sales Trailer that Gene Gamache & I produced at MAX-Q for Greenestreet Films to demonstrate to distributors how this very funny, but offbeat and gross film could be marketed to a more general audience. We took a couple of liberties in this cut with the knowledge that we could take out some of the more tasteless material if the trailer was finished for theatrical distribution. I'm pretty happy with how it came out and I think Gene was too.

The Education of Charlie Banks - Theatrical Trailer

Official Theatrical Trailer for Fred Durst's compelling directorial debut.  A character study of three college students in the 70's.  The lead role and title character is played by Jesse Eisenberg with an amazing breakout performance by Jason Ritter. I co-produced the trailer, wrote the copy, and designed the graphics. Jul 21, 2008
