UGA Gameday Gameplan

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:44:37 -0400

For years, the University of Georgia opponents have taken their beatings at Sanford Stadium. But game day also takes its toll on the UGA Campus. After an SEC home game, more than 70 tons of trash covers the University grounds. UGA Auxiliary Services requested a promotional video to show tailgaters easy ways to help curb the problem. Using local television talent, Chuck Dowdle, I worked on this video for use on the Sanford Stadium video screen and distribution online through bloggers and GamedayGameplan.com.

As a UGA graduate and avid tailgater, I felt a particular responsibility to help deliver the message to try and help curb the trash problem on game day. Go Dawgs!

Commuter Club

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:35:28 -0400

The Cobb County Commuter Club, a program of the Cumberland Community Improvement District, offers workes in Cobb County the opportunity to ditch their cars and for an inexpensive flat fee, carpool in a 9-passenger van to work. It saves riders loads of gas money, the stress of fighting traffic, and a ton of wear and tear on their cars.

This video was created to show the board of the Cumberland Community Improvement District just how important Commuter Club is for van riders and to thank the Board for funding such a vital service.

I enjoyed giving this project a newsreel feel and implemented in iPad-like graphics template, customized to the project.

Nationwide Tour

After its inaugural 2005 event, the Athens Regional Foundation Classic quickly became a staple of the spring social and sports calendar in Athens.

I created this wrap-up video featuring representatives from the tournament, Nationwide Tour players and sponsors showing their appreciation for this first-class event. Shooting sports is one of my strong suits and I always enjoy an opportunity to shoot on a golf course. In my opinion, golf may look better in high definition than any other sport. Photos of a golf swing in motion provide a great visual when edited together properly.

Bug Love

If you think you have a tough love life, stop and consider the brutality of “Bug Love.” The female praying mantis bites off the head of her mate while some cockroaches literally engage in a fistfight before realizing they’ve met their mate.

This graphic is an introduction that I created to a client project called “Bug Love” where we discussed the life-and-death struggle of a bug’s love life. I enjoy working with motion graphics whether creating from scratch or using template media as a guide.

Theatrical Outfit

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:35:44 -0400

Theatrical Outfit turns to me for its multimedia needs including short, promotional Web videos for each show during their season. “Blood Knot” stars Atlanta theater stalwarts Tom Key and Kenny Leon in a story about two half brothers, one black, one white, making a life together in apartheid-era South Africa. Politics, passion and power are all on display in Athol Fugard’s masterpiece.

I enjoyed creating this video because we focused on simplicity. Because race is such a part of the plot, I chose to shoot the subjects on a flat black background and used black and white motifs throughout.
