shred the pow :: butter the gnar

3EB frames
thought i would share a few frames from my recent DP for “bonfire” music video shoot with 3rd eye blind.

branding :: TSofL
in my recent downtime (aka time i should be sleeping) i did some mock ups for my brother in law’s new pro shop. I am very proud to say that he and my sister are taking a leap of faith and opening “the tennis store of lexington” (kentucky). franchise coming soon! being that i needed the branding to connect with older generations i used inspiration from the logo they love the most. the USTA crest. here is one version of my design. 100% custom and template free. oh, and like always, it was “due yesterday”. aprox total design time :: 4 hours. aprox self approval :: 6.5 out of 10 (branding isn’t something to be rushed people)

broken :: STORY conference
the following is a music video i developed for STORY via the great ben arment. it was shown 10/28/09 as an environment piece played behind the band as they sang “broken” by lifehouse, live. after the initially listen of the song i was inspired to shoot a true to life look at pain and passion. without a real budget for production i went with a real life portrait style with minimal production led lighting. shot on tricked out a 7D special thanks goes out to fotogs jamie clay
