Dispastiche 1 - El Debarge Mayonnaise

Consuming beer and whiskey at Shangri La on a Saturday night.  Wiley had recently made mayonnaise that weekend, to the point of having blisters on his hand.  Mayonnaise making is a stir-intensive sport.  Plans to start an El Debarge cover band were discussed.  Participants include Steph, David, Elliott, and Aidei.

CLONES

Here's the finished video I directed for The Diagonals.  

Took about a month to finish. Shot on 720P, edited in AVID, rotoscoped in After Effects and Discreet Inferno. No greenscreen. All lockdowns. About 25 effects shots all-together. Lots of money was spent on blowup dolls.  During the screening last Saturday, the dolls were launched into the audience, never to be seen again.

Hope you enjoy the video.  It was a lot of work.  Speaking of, this is NSFW.

Diagonals Video Shoot

Finished shooting 2 full days with Steve Garcia of The Diagonals.  The music video is for the song Clones.  Editing it should be a lot of fun and a lot of work.  We have a master shot with 9 Steves.

Best part is the performance.  We used 5 male blowup dolls to represent the members of the band.  Stuffing was added to represent the members' members.
