I wasn't aware this had been finished and published until I stumbled upon it on YouTube yesterday. I think it came out nicely. I did the hieroglyphics, the "Dutch Masters" painting "reveal, the reflection in Mona Lisa's eye, and the red titles at the end.

After creating a Sales Poster for Ashley Park and Tim McGrath, they asked me to create this promo trailer for their independently-produced TV Pilot "Lucky's Clinic". They needed a quick, funny sales tool for marketing their project, and they were delighted with the result. In addition to producing the spot, I created the graphics, edited the piece itself, wrote the copy and voiced the narration.
NOTE: Please contact me if you would like to privately view the trailer since the client has requested that it not be released to the public at this time.
The Logo
I was privileged to create this logo and poster design for my stepdaughter Gretchen Freihon's original musical "Mandates". The story follows a young Mike Pence (yes THAT Mike Pence) though his life as he struggles to come to grips with the realization that he is gay. Yep!
The Poster
The play is extremely funny and the music is wonderful. There's even a happy ending; President Trump is impeached and Mike, now President Pence, comes out to the world and finds his true destiny. The play was slated to be performed at the Agoura High School's Black Box Theater, but the Principal of the school, Brian Mercer, banned the play from campus after discovering its inclusive, gay theme. This necessitated that the authors and their parents scramble to find a new venue in a week, this all while the authors were in their last week of High School before graduation.
The musical premiered last night at the Class Act Musical Theater in Woodland Hills to a sold-out crowd of 250 people. The play received not one, not two but three standing ovations for the cast and authors; Gretchen Freihon (creator and author), Jillian Heller (author and composer/performer) and Olivia Kepler (author and editor). Needless to say I am extremely proud of Gretchen, her co-authors, and the incredible cast and crew that wouldn't take no as an answer. Congratulations!
The Stars - Ximena, Jason & the car.

I received a call last week from Tom Guttry of Green Tricycle Studios.
"Can you go to Detroit this Friday?"
"Why?", I asked, quickly looking up the weather and seeing it was 6˚degrees Fahrenheit in Detroit.
"We're streaming a live event revealing the new 2018 Toyota Camry at the biggest auto show in the world and we need to create a photo campaign in one day."
Woof.
I said yes.
The Crew
I art directed the shoot and composited the final images. Just got back and I think it turned out lovely. Client was ecstatic. Many thanks to Byron Atienza who photographed the celebrity event hosts, Ximena Córdoba and Jason Silva, the crew on the hectic shoot, and Tom Guttry who held it all together for us.

Preliminary Theatrical Poster design for "Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tyson" Starring Heather Graham and Robert Patrick. I'll post the final when it's released
Main Title I produced and designed for the Destination America Reality series "The Demon Files" which follows a retired N.Y.P.D. street cop and his team of demonic investigators as they confront evil in a mission to help families besieged by demonic forces.
It was great working with Producer/Director David Jeffrey on designing and implementing the website for his Horror / Surprise Ending short Girl #2. The site, which went live today, features animated banners that utilize effected frame sequences from the film, integrated social media posts to Facebook and Twitter, and an HD trailer playable on the site.
Girl #2 is currently making its way through the film festival circuit, having been shown at the "Dances With Film" Festival in Los Angeles and the Nashville Film Festival where it had its World Premiere. Girl #2 is currently slated to be screened at the Chicago Horror Film Festival and the Hollyshorts Film Festival in Hollywood.
Good Luck, David!

Green Screen Plate
Final Composite with the 3D Colonial-Era Virtual Set
An example of a virtual set that I researched, designed and created in 3D for the Disney/Kelloggs/Got Milk? collaborative online web series, Cereality; The History of Breakfast. Each episode took place in a different era and took on a particular problem that certain periods in history struggled through in getting a good breakfast. It was a comedy, of course. I also tracked and color matched the green screen plates with the actors into these scenes.
