• ETERNAL RETURN A short I composited at Autofuss for the CS6 Launch.
    Synopsis via the Autofuss website:
    "Adobe recently commissioned us to design the visual component for their CS6 production suite on the theme of "the cinematic experience." We were initially drawn to the mechanical origins of cinema, and especially the zoetrope. It's such a beautiful and profound mechanism, at once both limited and infinite. We wanted to portray the woman character as controlling everything by light from a hybrid of a zoetrope mechanism and traditional film projection."

  • UOP QUALITY This spot, made at Autofuss for University of Phoenix, imagines what an 'online' university might look like. The script incorporates the use of 'numbers' to guide its narrative and served as our main inspiration for our buildings. Working with architects, we were not only able to create aesthetically pleasing architecture, but functional well thought out spaces as well.
