Stinger#2
This was more of a result of ‘messing around’. It started out that I was going to use the NYC footage to add in a huge LMM logo and composite it in such a way that it looked like it was part of the shot that the car was driving past. Then I realized that timelapse footage was a terrible choice for this approach. I was making a fuzzy little character in C4D and then kind of spent an hour...
FYI: Carivores don't eat pork.
Texting… My wife: ‘Hows wrk going?’ Me: ‘Not gud. Having to cook the pork chop 4 Jake. He wudnt touch it raw’

Our creative process...
I thought that this post might give our future clients a better idea of the amount of work that goes in to our creative process. We picked on a new Handcrafted video and followed it through the stages from chatting to the client to delivering the video. The promo is for http://rippedcutbuff.com.
