This week’s video I directed, with Better Than The Machine, commemorating your favorite game from 2nd grade: Oregon Trail.
Newest video I directed with NY-based comedy troupe Better Than The Machine.
Just completed shooting on Mal Blum’s first music video for her song “Ode To Kulele” over the past week. At first look, footage is great, editing starts this week, and I’m pretty excited to see it come together. More reports in, after we’ve got a cut. Aces.
Just worked as 2nd camera on the a Sierra Mist web commercial by director Todd Strauss-Schulson at Ulterior Productions on Friday. More in, when the spot’s up on the web, friends.
Production just ended on the “Behind The Labs” series of “kid mad scientist promos” at 826NYC in Brooklyn, starring comedian Joe Miles and a wealth of six-to-eight-year-olds in exceptionally adorable scientific costumes. Answering the call of “So You Want To Be A Mad Scientist”, our group of kids developed their own mad scientist personas and then sat down in character to be interviewed James Lipton-style. Final series should run on Popular Science Online in the new year. I’ll keep you posted.
I’ll be directing a series of new videos with NY-Based comedy troupe Better Than The Machine starting in November, in High Def, and we’ll be making them look ultra purdy. They’re in the last days of their current live show at the People’s Improv Theatre in Manhattan this Fridays so check them out, if you can.
I’m directing the first music video for folk artist extraordinaire Mal Blum in the next month for her song “Ode To Kulele” off her latest album “Goodnight Sugarpop” available now on iTunes. Check her out, and get ready for the cutest love song to an inanimate musical instrument you’ve ever seen.
In the spirit of Halloween, a segment I filmed for Watson Adventures just aired on NY1, promoting their Haunted Times Square scavenger hunt on Valarie D’Elia’s “Travels with Val”. You can view it online at NY1’s website here.
By popular request (thanks Lee), here’s a short from the early years: “Captain Butch Flannigan, Ret.” is now available on the internet FOR THE FIRST TIME. Conceived, improvised, and shot in one night, from dusk til dawn, sometime in the early 2000’s, and starring Lee Noble, Forest Fisher, the flawlessly ubiquitous Rory Fraser, and myself. A movie that started weird and ended up much weirder.
Watch as we attempt to complete all of the tasks on Captain Butch Flannigan and the Super Disco Pirate Kids’ “video scavenger map” in order to win the treasure! Marvel at our ingenuity/sleep-deprivation! An enjoy this THRILLING piece of bizarre Tennessee improv, in three-part glory, thanks to YouTube’s 10-minute upload limits here! Enjoy!
