"Never Let Me Go" is the film version of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel which TIME magazine named as "One of the best novels of the decade". This is the Domestic Trailer I produced for Fox Searchlight. I wrote the copy (which Fox Searchlight used in the poster campaign as well) and designed the graphics and main title seen in the trailer. The film has been well praised for its cast, directing, and deeply felt performances. An extremely compelling film about young lives cut short in a not-too-distant dystopian future.
Never Let Me Go :30 TV "Academy Sell"
Never Let Me Go :30 TV "EPK"
Never Let Me Go :30 TV "Except Time"
Yet another TV spot I produced , wrote the copy and created the motion graphics for at MAX-Q.
Moomins and the Comet Chase - Theatrical Trailer
A sweet, yet offbeat animated film from Finland originally made in the 70's and restored in 2010 as a stereoscopic 3D film and released theatrically in Finland. I produced the trailer, created the Stereoscopic 3D graphics (this is the 2D version), and wrote the copy. Max von Sydow narrates the feature.
Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel - Motion Poster
Using the existing poster for this film, I added animation for a meeting at 20th Century Fox to promote MAX-Q's motion poster capabilities. I mostly used After Effects' puppet tool to get the pixels in motion, along with masks and seperate elements for the various reveals.
KONAMI Yu-Gi-Oh! - Collectible Tins TV Commercial
KONAMI TV Commercial for "Yu-Gi-Oh!" Collectible Tins Produced at MAX-Q for Syncretic Media. I conceived, produced, and directed this commercial with Naruo Uchida, who was executive producer. 2-3D Films in Los Angeles created the wonderful Yu-Gi-Oh dragon characters, under stringent KONAMI guidelines. What people may not realize watching this commercial is that the product shot at the end of the spot is completely CG, not filmed. Bonus points (with me) if you know who the voice-over artist is.
Californication - Motion Poster
I created this as a demo for Showtime. I took the existing poster and animated different elements such as; David Ducovney's shirt, hair, the underwater caustics (i.e. the light patterns created by the water). The air bubbles were created in 3D using Cinema 4D.
The Tooth Fairy - Motion Poster
A Motion Poster I created at MAX-Q. The tooth was created in Cinema 4D as a transition element.
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...
