Demise

Same cast, same location, 13 years later. Based on our first short film “Demise of the Republic” in 2003 comes this impromptu 2016 remake. We shot this in two half days during my little sister’s wedding while all of us were in town together again. Finally Finished! Please enjoy Demise from 2016!   A Look Behind the…

Festive People

I recently had the opportunity to cut a quick video for some fun guys, the Festive People. A friend of mine, John Lane, texted and asked if I would cut this for them. The video needed to be finished pretty quick, go figure as most of the projects I get have a fast turn around.…

PVC Lightsaber Handle

How to make an affordable lightsaber? Why a hardware store of course! I walked around the PVC aisle looking for cool pieces and slowly piecing together my own custom lightsaber handle. I took home the handful of plastic parts, screwed them all together, ground off the lettering on the sides, and painted them with some…

Lindsey Stirling | The Music Box Tour

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with Lindsey Stirling to design some artwork to accompany a narration for part of her show. The project had a fairly quick turn around so the style consisted of elements that I stole from myself, basically for the sake of time and simplicity. Things don’t look as polished…

Lethal Abilities – 2005

Back in action! Lethal Abilities is the second official movie my brothers, cousins and I made;  (I say second official movie because it was when we started to get serious about making movies. We had been filming ourselves for years: skits, plays, short stories, whatever, but it wasn’t until we had the ability to edit…

Batman Parody – Short Film

This is a short Batman parody we did as an old group project for school. We were supposed to “swede” a popular film. So, we decided to do some Batman stuff, we mixed The Dark Knight with the 1960s shows. It was shot in one night and cut in the following day or so, just in…

Hiccup Flight Helmet

For a class assignment I get to make a mask of some sort. I decided to try Hiccups flight armor from How to Train Your Dragon 2. I started with the helmet. I wanted to do this freehand instead of from a pattern or pep files. Though I am not done yet, I’ve learned a lot.…
