"Ikea, Manhattan" (Cardboard Jungle)

2012-03-20T17:47:30.667Z

This footage was shot with my video lunchbox during the production for one of two spots produced by Humble Films in NYC for the new Ikea mega-store which was then soon to be opened in Red Hook Brooklyn. Peter Wallach was the director of special effects and hired me to assist in the shooting of 35mm time-lapse of the deconstruction of the lower Manhattan model fabricated out of Ikea boxes. The time-lapse was played in reverse to give the appearance of the city constructing itself. The footage was designed to work as a match dissolve to actual time-lapse of the real lower Manhattan which we also shot on 35mm film from the same camera angle which was shot before the miniature stop motion/time-lapse could begin. We also shot the time lapse of the Ikea store facade.

"Art Is" (SVA 50th Anniversary)

2011-09-22T23:54:11.429Z

An un-commissioned film graphic test that I shot for The School of Visual Arts, 50th Anniversary, "Art Is" campaign. This was the first and only test, shot while I was working there as a media arts professor during the 1990's. It was paid for out of my own pocket. The opening photomation images were all from a book called "SVA Gold, 50 years of Creative Graphic Design", a collection of poster ads for the school by famous artists and designers. They were shot on an Oxberry animation stand as a series of zooming lap dissolves and the super imposed quotes also came from the posters. I ended the piece with a motion graphic of the school's 49/50 logo rolling over and a zoom into the circle of the zero in the 50. That worked as a reveal for time lapse footage that I shot through a fish eye lens with a Bolex camera, of the various media arts production spaces at the school.
