Stop Motion: “Guntheearf”

My Role: This was created in 2009, when I was still in college.  I did everything myself.  You’re probably wondering why I chose this concept.  Well, it started when I overheard a conversation while I was studying in a cafe and it became an interesting topic so I ended up making a short experimental film about it.  The core idea is that the creation of firearms make killing so convenient therefore, it results in ongoing warfare.  This was also around the time when there were multiple massive plane crashes. You’ll see be able to see of this in the video.

Stop Motion: Untitled

My Role:  This was made in 2009 while I was interning for a local film director.  We were experimenting with stop motion and made this in attempt to create a fun intro to the rest of the director’s tutorial videos about the idea behind “Negotiation”.  I did everything in this one.  There’s no audio.

 

Short Film: “You’ll Never Know” by YourMechanic.com

My Role:  YourMechanic.com is a start up company that won the Techcrunch Dirupt in 2012 for their revolutionizing idea (bringing mechanics to the customer).  At this 2013 Techcrunch event, YourMechanic.com had to hand over their previously won trophy to this year’s winner.  But before that can happen, Techcrunch has asked YourMechanic to make an entertaining video about the fun times they’ve had with the trophy.  This is when I pitched in and made it happen.  My colleagues and I got together to form an idea/concept for this project.  After the concept was formed, I started writing the script. From there on, I entirely produced, directed, and edited this film.
