So. 2011. How’d it go? I’d say I had a very successful year.

In 2011, I produced quite a bit of new work. Ranging from some shorts (‘I’m Sorry I Killed You,’ and ‘Friends I Haven’t Met‘), fun trailers and web videos (Labor Day 2 and Boy Shooting Nerf Gun), and Lonely Reviewer’s increased coverage of IFFBoston, it was a busy year!

So, what’s on tap for 2012?

I’m always looking to produce new projects, and collaborate with friends/colleagues on theirs. I’ve already got some things coming down the pipeline!

I hope to produce a few more shorts this year, and hopefully some that coincide with the themes I’m exploring in the projects I’ve done this past year. Shooting on DSLR is making these projects so much easier to produce, and increases production value 10 fold. With the addition of my own portable sound recorder to my kit in late 2011, things are only going to get better from here.

I appreciate you guys for checking out my blog, and my site! Happy New Year!

I heard a great piece of music in our sound library, and I though it’d be worthwhile to cut together a fun sizzle reel to include in our tradeshow loops. The video is called the “Best Just Got Better,” and features a lot of clips from work I’ve done here at Extech.

For a new product launch at Extech/FLIR, I decided to go a bit outside of the box. The video is a bit different then our normal videos, but I’m really proud of it. We shot in full 1080 on DSLR, and the animation effects were made in After Effects, the lens flares via the Video Copilot Optical Flares Plug-in.

A new project I’m working on for Extech Instruments/FLIR Systems are these new “How-to/Training/Education” videos for the companies Planet Extech User Community. They are fun to make, and I’ve started with simple subjects, things like taking voltage readings of a scooter battery, and defining technical terms.

The videos are being received well, and I thought I’d embed a few of them here on my site for people to check out.

Things have been quite busy over at Extech, and I wanted to post another one of my recent product videos for the company. This video features a lot of movement and animations, all of it created in After Effects. The video also features a brand new logo intro/outro.

In other news, I’m currently finishing work on a new music video I shot, I’m aiming to wrap it up in the next week or so. So check back here once it’s been posted.

I recently cut together a little demo reel of my work at Extech Instruments. It just showcases some of my various title composites, visual effects, and other things that I do on a day-to-day basis for the company. Check it out below!

I realized I don’t often post some of the work I do from my full-time job on here. Why not? It’s something I work very hard on! This video was something I did a few months back regarding a new thermal camera the company I work for was releasing. The voice talent is Jim Jakala, a talented fellow who records for a lot of radio and TV.
