Head Replacement for a series of film and television commercials
You’ll find here samples of work that don’t fit neatly into the Film or Television categories. Due to rights issues, I’ve only included work that I did directly for clients or for myself. You will see this section grow very soon.
Some of these are independent short films, like the Sundance Film Festival selection “Der Ostwind” or director John Cheney’s film “Iron Curtain”. A few are commercials or corporate videos. You’ll also see a few shots I did for fun, to test out an idea I had on my mind, or to develop my skills in a new software package.
