Here’s the music video I directed for the song Gi’ Aldrig Op by Danish musician Kristian Svenningsen. The song was written by Kristian and Austin’s Matt the Electrician as part of the House of Songs project.
I’m going to be speaking to the Austin Final Cut SIG tonight at 7PM at the Channel Austin building. I’ll be discussing my experiences with FCP, screening some music videos, and running through the work flow for a few projects. For more information about the event visit the Final Cut SIG website.
Here’s a quick round-up of the press some of my projects (an ad I wrote and directed and two features I edited) have picked up in the past month:
Scott Meyers’ Ultimate Guide to Flight got a lot of attention before its premiere at the Austin Film Festival including mentions on TwitchFilm, MovieWeb, and ScreenCrave, and a positive review from The Austin Chronicle.
Mark Potts’ S&M Lawn Care was also at the Austin Film Festival and also received a lot of press including positive reviews from Moviefone, Gordon and the Whale, Smells Like Screen Spirit and even some nice words from the folks at Sweet Leaf Iced Tea.
Here’s the second video Dano Johnson and I created for the Filmmakers for Bill White initiative. It stars John Merriman and Emily Kaye.
Embedded above is the first video I created for Texas Gubernatorial candidate Bill White as part of the Filmmakers for Bill White initiative. In this spot current Texas Governor Rick Perry is played by actor/filmmaker John Merriman.
You can read more about the spots and the initiative on Bill White’s website.
Two feature films I edited are going to screen at this year’s Austin Film Festival. Scott Meyers’ all-improvised Ultimate Guide to Flight is going to have its world premiere and Mark Potts’ critically-acclaimed, award-winning S&M Lawn Care is playing in the Comedy Vanguard section. For more information check out the festival’s full line-up at The Hollywood Reporter.
Meanwhile on the west coast, the video I directed for Captain Clegg & The Night Creatures’ Zombie a Go Go is playing the Sacramento Horror Film Festival.
Mark Potts’ S&M Lawn Care won a Special Jury Prize at the Friars Club Comedy Film Festival last night. Congratulations to Mark and everyone else at Singletree Productions!
Mark Potts’ S&M Lawn Care (which I edited) received a four-star review over at Film Threat (Check it out here). The film is premiering at the Friars Club Film Festival in New York City this Friday, September 24th, with more screenings coming soon… Check out Singletree Productions’ website for more info.
Here’s a music video experimental film thing I directed produced made for one of my favorite bands, A Faulty Chromosome. It consists largely of Flip HD footage shot at the Toy & Action Figure Museum in Paul’s Valley, OK and it’s already gained some press on the Portuguese blog FLOGA-SE. I hope you like it enjoy it don’t hate it. You can pick up A Faulty Chromosome’s ‘Craving To Be Coddled So We Feel Fake-Safe’ through Yelping Hill Records.
I redesigned my website, so I figure it’s a good time to give an update on what I’ve been working on.
Dano Johnson and I recently completed two ads for Democratic Texas Gubernatorial candidate Bill White and I’m currently finishing the first episode of the American Widow Project web-series. I’ve just started work on a PSA for Voices of a Grateful Nation, a music video for Michael Des Barres (above), and editing on Charles Wiedman’s The Sinner.
I’ll be posting more information about all of these projects soon…
