Among other things, I like making my own media. To paraphrase Hideaki Anno, creativity is a shrewd attempt to connect with others by the socially inept.
Most of my output (at least the stuff I’m comfortable posting online) is documentary. Most of them were produced either for ANN or as DVD extras.
True Lies (The New Division)
This is my first real music video, created start-to-finish. I’m really happy with how it came out. Special thanks to Sam Brown (of Whitest Kids U Know fame) and Cale Hartmann for appearing in it, and a BIG thanks to production designer Colson Knight for helping out.
Introducing The New Division
This is a short introductory documentary/EPK I made for Riverside, CA-based band The New Division, who I was (and still am) a big fan of. (I shot, directed, edited.)
Isao Takahata on Grave of the Fireflies
A DVD extra for Grave of the Fireflies. We hired out the photography to a Japanese studio, then I was tasked with establishing the structure, editing, and subtitling. Japanese interviews are very hard to edit, but I’m mostly pretty proud of how this came out. (Only one cut, which was insisted on by my boss, bugs the hell out of me. Can you tell which one?)
