This was a short video made for Young Life to advertise an upcoming ninja club. It was shown in the previous week's club to get the kids excited about everything that involves stealthiness. Again I had the help of Matt Wallace, of the Dodge ball commercial. We thought it'd be fun to to make a commercial for a home ninja correspondence course like the old Sally Struthers diploma at home advertisements.

Matt did the narration with the only exception being the brutally manly battle-cry at the end voiced by me. He also helped with the edit and coming up with a list of all things we believed ninjas needed to be adept at.

I used Photoshop to make the parchment and Premiere Pro to do the editing and text. The old Asian man clip came from the movie Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

It was a lot of fun to make and all the Young Life leaders got to be involved. Hopefully I'll get to make some more in the future. Enjoy!

Challenge 2006 DVD Art

Since I'm busy on stuff I'm not ready to post yet I figured I'd post some past work. A couple of years ago the Challenge conference came to Purdue and all the shows were held in the Hall of Music. We recorded every one and I was asked to make a DVD box set of every show.

I divided the shows up by day and created a 2-disc case for each day. The front covers of each case are identical - with the exception of the date, but the backs of each case are different to show the speaker for that day. It was a lot of fun to design and I hear the client was very happy with them.

You can see a snippet of the menus here.

Layout Updates

I am adjusting the look of my blog slightly. Due to my rough around the edges coding skillset the page may change many times in small (or huge and unexpected) ways until I get it looking the way I'd like it to be. Please be patient with me until I get this completed. Thanks!
