Demo Reel 2011

I made a demo reel for some of my Motion Graphics work as well as some of the Interactive pieces I've worked on over the years. Watch here at a better size.

Can't Keep Johnny Down

Do you like screenshots? I do.











I made a silly music video. They Might Be Giants were having a contest in July to make a video for their new song "Can't Keep Johnny Down". John Hodgeman was the guest judge. Those circumstances were much too perfect to just ignore. So I present to you an animated version of my floating head "worried".
You can watch it here ok?

As a side note, how come nobody ever talks about how difficult it is to get a decent looking .mov export out of flash? Why do none of the video sites accept swfs? 2011, you astound me with your limitations in technology.
