Hello,
Since my last blog update in September of 08, much has come to pass in the way of creations as I’m sure you can imagine. Lately I’ve been too busy to keep up with my blog, which means I’ve had allot of blog content brewing. I’ll do my best to fill you in while keeping it brief.

Animated “Salar Inc. Software Demo” Premiere:
The Salar Inc. Demo project was a work for hire CGI demo animation. I did the graphics and animation solo from beginning to end on this project which is viewable on their website at, salarinc.com/demo.
Salar Inc. is a medical software design company which has transformed traditional paper clinical documentation into electronic “smart” paper. Their software allows physicians to make their documentation directly in electronic format which instantaneously communicates to all systems within the hospitals network greatly expediting communication required for patient care. The purpose of this demo was to show potential clients (hospitals) how Salar’s software will improve the quality of their treatment, staff work flow, and financial management by improving the efficiency of their documentation and inter-department communication.

Music Video for Neal Halstead’s “Elevenses”:
The assignment for this video was commissioned in response to a treatment written by Director Christopher Piazza for 99dollarmusicvideos.com. Their practice consists of granting selected production teams a 99 dollar budget and 24 hours to make the best video they can. As you can imagine it’s quite a burly proposal requiring quick thinking, creative on-the-fly problem solving, and impeccable action from everyone on the production team.
My role on this production was diverse as where each of the three crew members roles. I was essentially a one man art department and special effects tech. I made the costume for the hero character. I played the hero character for part of the video, was an extra for another chunk of the video. Supervised the shoot for post effects, and created the post-production special effects.
The Official Behind the Scenes footage is scheduled to premiere April 28th, and the video premiere is scheduled for April 30th at 99dollarmusicvideos.com. After the official premiere, the video will be added to my Video Section here, as well as Director Christopher Piazza’s website www.panopticonnyc.com, which I designed.
