I was asked to make an absolutely terrible orientation video for the feature “Good Grief Suicide Hotline” starring George Faughnan. The film is set in the mid 90’s but we decided to take the commercial back to V/H/S quality to make it exceptional bad. It’s actually very difficult to edit poorly.
Playing around with 3D and running it through some custom VHS filters. This is the header on the front of all the movies I’ve helped produce. Sound design by Aaron Barnes.
itaki design studio was commissioned to do the visual effects for “The Signal”. Here are a few of the more interesting shots.
A day In The Life is itaki design studio and Psychopia Pictures second collaboration. This was created for a Dailies project in 2006 called “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Dailies”. It was a show created by Brent Dey that featured short films based on the songs on the Beatles album of the same name. Dan Bush and Michael McReynolds chose the last song, “A Day In The Life”. It’s nature is both cheery and dark, and the song, as well as the movie, takes a wild turn halfway through.
I edited, did the visual effects, color and sound design for the movie.
