LeetStreet Boys - "Yuri the Only One" Music Video (2008)

Post-Production Supervisor

2eastmusic.com's Matt Myers wanted to create a series of songs and videos that would speak to the people he has met at anime and gaming conventions across the country. He started with "Yuri the Only One", and asked me to supervise the video's post-production aspects. The animation was created by Studio N8. Since the video was released, it has been watched more than 400,000 times on YouTube and other video sharing sites and launched a live-action band tour headlined by Matt Myers. The success of the video and the songs has even earned the LeetStreet Boys a spot performing this year at the Boston Video Games Live! tour on Nov. 21, 2008. Stay-tuned, there are more videos in the pipeline coming soon.

Battle for Tomorrow (2003)

Director, Camera, Editor, Visual Effects Supervisor

Battle for Tomorrow is a music video created for 2east (the band that preceeded 2eastmusic.com). The song itself describes the sort of battles and adventures characters from a computer role-playing game. Hence, the video is an homage to the Final Fantasy battle format. Characters were shot in front of a greenscreen and later "dropped" into the virtual setting that I created- emulating the same process 3D characters are dropped into videogame settings. The video is 4 minutes long- you can view the whole thing or watch a 30 second excerpt.
