Now! "Award Winning Helms-a-Lee"

My seminal work, the television spot "Die Again" for the latest installment of hallowed franchise Final Destination, has been recognized by the preeminent arbiters of import as The Best Voice Over in a TV Spot.  Forget that no one is sure if this is an award for the copy writing, the voice actor, the editor, or the creative director.  The world will truly never be the same now that this :30 spot is in our ethos.

Also, pictured: creative director and editor on the piece

I was joking with Art about how bad the stock photography is that we used to have to work with.  He sent me this.  So good.

Finally, a teaser with hairballs. Watch me if you dare. These boots were made for blogging. I need sleep.

east side gritty, west side pretty

After two years at Aspect Ratio, this is my last day in the office. And after a decade on the east side, this is my last month in Silverlake. Although I love both, I'm diving into an exciting new venture in Santa Monica with some of my best friends, and life in Venice isn't gonna suck. I'll surf in the morning, jump on my bike and ride down the boardwalk to the office with my (future) dog. *le sigh

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take right?

Sing it, Roland, sing it, Curt.

Lost Angels - Skid Row Documentary

Most documentaries about communities/issues like Los Angeles' Skid Row feel like they're shot from a safe distance, peering down with a long lens, or even worse, they feel like an invasion. Lost Angels couldn't be any different. Thomas Napper, the director, establishes a rapport with his main subjects, allowing us to get inside their world, which actually turns out to be much more complex than Pras would lead you to believe [ugh]. Yes, there are crippling problems with drugs, violence, and mental illness, but there's also community, family, and vulnerability. There's a real dignity and respect in the way their stories are told.

I cut a pro bono trailer for Thomas a couple months ago. It was a great project to be involved in. There's a screening downtown tomorrow night. You (Art, Ryan, I'm fairly certain you two are still the only people who read this thing) should come. Friday the 25th, 7:45 pm at the Regal in LA Live. 300 free tickets, first come first serve.

It's nice, there's a little buzz - I'm running across our trailer everywhere. Here's Huffington Post's take on the film.

Update: ok, so I couldn't do it. The version of the trailer, for various reasons, that finished is not my favorite. So I took it down.
