           So we have been getting a ton of questions about, what have we been up to the last couple of month and to be honest, we have been working really hard on two really fun projects...The Titan Project and the Ellipsis Car Commercial. Both videos have extreme motion graphics work and have been so much fun to work on. We decided to post both videos online for a limited time to show what people what we have been doing. Just a reminder these are not finished projects, there are still lots of fixes needed and audio reworks. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Suggested Reading:

In The Blink of an Eye

       Here is some awesome reading about editing. If anyone is aspiring to be a great editor, you have to learn about Walter Murch. Walter Murch has edited a many number of great films and won many award with his editing such as Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, The God Father, The English Patient...etc. He has been pioneering the way of editing for years now and setting what seems to be an impossible standard. More importantly than good editing, Walter goes into the psychology of the human mind and why editing works. We must first understand the human mind in order to produce great work. I highly recommend you read this book whether you are and editor or want to break into the film industry. So do yourself a favor and read it...or we will come to your house break your windows. No just kidding...James will go to your house and break your window.

On the Horizon:

We have been trying to figure out our company logo for the beginning to our films and have a couple of concepts. Here is one we just recently created. We are trying to create something that feels epic every time you see it. This has been an on going project for a few years now but I think we are closing in on the final design. Hope you enjoy.

Project 1

             Here is a Photoshop picture that was required for a Digital Illustration class I took that involved making a collage of several photos. We thought it turned out pretty darn cool, and thought we would share it with you. Hope you enjoy as much as we do.
