The Architect - Magnanni FW16
Had the opportunity to shoot some campaign imagery for Magnanni Fall Winter line. The following images are some of my favorites from the sequence. Always much room to improve, but each one presented its own challenges and proved to be a great learning experience.
Father of Magnanni
The Father of Magnanni, Pascual Blanco in his hometown of Almansa, Spain, in the region of La Mancha. The land of Don Quixote. Where the Magnanni product continues to be handmade today.
Magnanni Shoes
I have focused all of my time lately working for MAGNANNI. A Spanish mens luxury shoe company. A beautiful handmade product, with a great story/history to tell. Here is a short we did recently in Almansa, Spain (the land of Don Quixote) that features the "Sounds" of shoemaking. Hope you enjoy!
Recently, I was hired to assist the band Starset in creating a music video narrative for their new single "Halo" With virtually no time for preproduction, we hit the ground running on this, assembled a team and shot off into the desert of Utah to begin shooting. A 30 hour journey non stop into darkness. We camped in tents in the rocky hills just over the bonneville raceway in 14 degree weather. No civilization in site. We shot all day every day sun up to sun down and later, we drank beers by the fire to stay warm. We ate dehydrated food packages like spacemen. I took a dump in a thorny bush. We had the benefit of one shower at a hostel style privately owned truck stop with attached diner. A giant mexican lady gave us towels and took us down the poorly lit hallway to our stalls. The showers were warm. She was gentle. I could not complain.
Understaffed, exhausted, covered in salt, sometimes snow our team truly lived the experience of the story's main character "Thomas" as he traveled across the surface of a martian planet.
Maroon 5 - Honda Civic Tour
For the past month I have been working with my good friends in Good Theory on the LED wall content for Maroon 5's 2013 Tour. I started with a bit of work in Columbus, previs and style frames.
connection in Houston
The first stop was Chaos Visual in Burbank, CA. Where we spent several weeks of long hours in a non air-conditioned warehouse with at least 8 box fans blowing on our open mac pro towers to keep them cool while rendering. The render Farm got to live in the upstairs air-conditioned office. Lucky render farm..
trevor hard at work between renders checking for quality pants.
the office
830 am to 1230am 7 days a week/sometimes more, Through thinning sanity and lots of survival junk food. We later moved to the Galen Center for stage construction and rehearsal.
a shot from one of my favorite scenes.
During the final week, approvals on our content were almost totally complete. With the exception of a few. The show was ready to roll! Maroon 5 Posted the last image here right before the tour left for St. Louis!
Be sure and check out Maroon 5 and our content if the tour comes through your area. The band is a rare mix of professionals they truly are talented musicians & showmen.
