Catching up...

It has been a while! I'm building an actual website and have therefore neglected this blog. :( Lots happening on my end, here is the brief:

1) I bought a business, and now run it with my business partner. It is in the animal care industry and we currently have 3 employees.

2) I got engaged in August 2013

Film-wise I have been working here and there. Per usual, most of the things I have done are not out yet, but I do have a clip I can share, below:

Tax Act:


I worked on a music video over the weekend for an artist who just got signed to Universal Records. More on that later.

Pair Squared Promo Video

Here's a little hipster comedy in a promo video I did with actor Rhyan Schwartz for a start up social meetup website called Pair Squared. I don't get many chances to do something goofy so this was a nice exercise.

Remix Nature!

So, remember the Oregon State Lottery commercial I did a couple months back? Well, now they've launched a website where you can remix audio clips/samples from when we were shooting, and make your very own song!

Check out the one I made HERE

You can add to it, or clear it and make your own. This is wild!

Also, just found out I'm on another billboard, this time for this OSL campaign. I think it's on NE 28th and Glisan, but I haven't gone by there to check yet. Oh, and the Timbers billboard by Powell's was just taken down, but the one on Canyon Road is still up.

Em;ly

OSL TV Spot

Wow, what a wonderful sunny day for March!

I filmed a TV spot for Oregon State Lottery in February and it just started playing on TV. If you live in Oregon, watch for it! Here is a short cut of the spot:



Also, be sure to catch my band Monster-Sized Monsters playing this Friday (March 11) at the Know in Portland (26 and Alberta in NE). 21+

ASUS - We are...

Just out is the ASUS add I did in October. It is going to show before movies in the theaters starting Friday December 3. If you see it in the theaters, let me know!

Watch it on YouTube:

Edit:

So, just found out that this is showing in theaters in major cities only. (LA, New York, Chicago, Toronto, etc.) BUT If you are in Portland, go to the outside Lloyd center theater on December 22nd, this add will be playing ALL DAY on the monitors around the concession stands.

Are things picking up?

Worked on a commercial destined for Industry use on Sunday. Not much of a part but oh well! Since I recently quit my stable "day-job" (so that I am free to pursue acting more seriously), I needed to take the job to keep up an income! I will probably never see the finished clip.

I feel as if 2010 will be a good year for film. Many things seem to be in the works, it feels like a lot is about to happen. So, world, I am ready!


On another note, my band Monster-Sized Monsters is in the finishing stages of mixing our new album. We also have a show coming up in February in Portland:



And soon we shoot a music video!

Levi's Ad

This has sparked heated debate on YouTube apparently. People really seem to attach themselves emotionally (positively and negatively) to this commercial. People are so passionate about their views and a video such as this can bring them to blows. It is really quite amazing.

I need to clarify a few things.
1) That is not a hitler salute, that is a part Native American woman mimicking the Sacajawea statue behind her. [Actually, I was supposed to do that shot, but since I have blond hair and blue eyes they thought it would come off too Nazi-ish and therefore replaced me.]

2) Yes, there are short flashes of two guys kissing. Get over it. Levi's was founded in San Fransisco, and this is NOT a "stunt" but a reference to it's foundations as a company.

3) Walt Whitman (who's poem is being read) was probably a closeted homosexual who would not have minded his poem being used in this add.

EDIT:
After all that, YouTube deactivated the account that originally posted the add, which is too bad, because that was a high quality video. Posted here is a lesser quality version of it so you can see the whole add.

Best Buy

Did a "Back to School" Best Buy add for TV and Print. Haven't seen it, andwas out of town when the print came out.
