What happened since January?!

I've had my head down working on things for my MFA and other side projects that have kept me well overly committed.

Developed a top secret ride for A Walt Disney Imagineering class, made several new commercials for PopTent, worked on several shorts and feature concepts that are in development and am now working on an interactive video Projection Mapping piece for an international art exhibition called Elevate.

We just won editors choice for this crazy little Vizio commercial, called The Revolution.

Kill Your Television - Promo Pics days 1 & 2

Hey Gang,

here are some pics from the last 2 days of shooting. Hope you enjoy! Later!

the Future.

Been knee deep in paperwork for my 'beauty' film called 200 Free that I am shooting on Wednesday and Thursday. Everything is coming into place and it's going to look kick ass. My buddy Graham is doing the Cinematography while a bunch of other Graduate Diploma and VCA friends help with the rest of the production. We also have a kick ass make-up effects guy named Jack Willie who's gonna make our scar. My roommates BF's dad is our lead character. He has 30 years of underwater hockey, surfing and swimming under his belt and he is going to rock!

Just to keep my mind on Kill Your Television a bit, here is my first city destruction image. Not sure if this one is going to make it in the film cause it's my first one and it's kinda the worst one compared to the newer cityscape shots I have been working on, but it still looks fun!

Hope everyone is having a good week, later!

Blink is getting back together and tonight while I was listening to them on the Kevin and Bean show from KROQ I threw this little thing together. I'm such a fanboy. \\Also, uploaded a quick tutorial for using volumetric lights in Cinema 4D (like the one in this blink logo pic) to my flickr account so check it out!

NEW DREWNEWS.com!

Hey boys and girls, 

and now the moment you've all been waiting for!  Well, maybe 2 or 3 of you.  I have finally updated drewnews.com to add my portfolio that I used for applying to grad school.  The portfolio pages are the exact same as my portfolio DVD that I sent out.  I know that many of you are going to be sad to know that I do not have a new demo reel.  Currently I am without Final Cut Pro and working on other short films so I have no need for a new demo reel...  This means that I had better really make a kick ass one 2 years from now when I get out of school!  Haha...  Anyways, here is a pic Jenna took of me being euphoric at the botanical gardens the other day.
