This concept for my Belmont Stakes promo from last spring started out inspired by Eadweard Muybridge’s The Horse in Motion, early film experiments, and zoetropes. Originally, the spot was going to begin in raw black and white texture and slowly transition into modern gloss and prestige. But the powers that be wanted all polish.

Even if I lost that original version and was a bit frustrated at the time, I’m still happy we managed to maintain some texture and tactile feeling into the final spot.

With AI able to generate almost anything, I’m always trying to find ways to make digital images (even when traditionally done in 3d) feel more human and tactile. More analog. Less clinically clean. I want to feel the texture in the image.

For this one, Dave Kerman created some beautiful crisp 3D renders of a zoetrope… and then I proceeded to over process and rub all my grime all over them and ruin them. ;-)

We filmed the final renders and archival still photos in two ways. One through @prismlensfx filters digitally and then also through Super 8 film to break up the perfection a bit. Subtly we blended that with the fully digital images. It’s been about a year since this released, and I honestly don’t know if all that extra effort and processing really came through on air during the Belmont broadcast last spring. But that definitely won’t stop me from processing and uh… over processing footage until it breaks. Hah.

I’ve got a new video release coming soon where we were able to push the processeven further while blending it with polished VFX. Similar process. Prisms, film, texture, imperfections. Same thought one year later.

Moral of the story just because an idea or a process wasn’t right for one project doesn’t mean it can’t be the backbone of another. This project walked so the next one could run with that process. Keep them eyes peeled for that next one.

Subtly we blended that with the fully digital images. It’s been about a year since this released, and I honestly don’t know if all that extra effort and processing really came through on air during the Belmont broadcast last spring. But that definitely won’t stop me from processing and uh… over processing footage until it breaks. Hah.

I’ve got a new video release coming soon where we were able to push the processeven further while blending it with polished VFX. Similar process. Prisms, film, texture, imperfections. Same thought one year later.

Moral of the story just because an idea or a process wasn’t right for one project doesn’t mean it can’t be the backbone of another. This project walked so the next one could run with that process. Keep them eyes peeled for that next one.

This concept for my Belmont Stakes promo from last spring started out inspired by Eadweard Muybridge’s The Horse in Motion, early film experiments, and zoetropes. Originally, the spot was going to begin in raw black and white texture and slowly transition into modern gloss and prestige. But the powers that be wanted all polish.

Even if I lost that original version and was a bit frustrated at the time, I’m still happy we managed to maintain some texture and tactile feeling into the final spot.

With AI able to generate almost anything, I’m always trying to find ways to make digital images (even when traditionally done in 3d) feel more human and tactile. More analog. Less clinically clean. I want to feel the texture in the image.

For this one, Dave Kerman created some beautiful crisp 3D renders of a zoetrope… and then I proceeded to over process and rub all my grime all over them and ruin them. ;-)

We filmed the final renders and archival still photos in two ways. One through @prismlensfx filters digitally and then also through Super 8 film to break up the perfection a bit. Subtly we blended that with the fully digital images. It’s been about a year since this released, and I honestly don’t know if all that extra effort and processing really came through on air during the Belmont broadcast last spring.

I was gone from @wwe for almost 6 years…but now I’m back.

I realize a lot of the WWE Universe may not know that Matt Cardona isn’t just Zack Ryder with a different name.

Here’s a quick history lesson…

I’M NOT FINISHED…but I am complete…THE COMPLETE!

Craned a piano onto a lake.
Bayhem’d a field with practical explosions.
Learned what a scuba grip does.

Craned a piano onto a lake.
Bayhem’d a field with practical explosions.
Learned what a scuba grip does.

Dear Cora

Mic Brooling was a 1/1.

He just got it. He could tap into that creative muse on command. It was magical.

He could explain a score with a few hand gestures and sound effects, make it click even for someone like me who doesn’t speak music.

Audio was more than a job. It was a religion. He was a sound preacher who connected to that realm of brilliance.

When he was working something out, he’d mumble, but hidden in those mumbles was genius.

I used to sneak voice recordings of Mic so I could listen back and learn. Or try. He always caught me. (Words out. If I think you’re great, I’ve probably secretly recorded you in your element. Sue me. I just want to remember. With how many times my brain’s been bashed in, I need the help.)

One time he let me record him… ok, thats a lie.

I told him the social team needed BTS of our project. Best lie I’ve told. In those VO session clips, you feel it, his passion, his energy. He was a true master. When he was excited, the whole room felt it.

I’d see him in the hallway and he’d say, “Saw the latest cut. This is gonna be fucking cool.” If I wasn’t pumped yet, the fact that Mic liked it made me want to make it better.

First pass was always gold. Even when he’d caveat with “This isn’t 100 percent,” but it was, because he gave 100 to everything.

When you explained your concept, or notes from above butchered the current creative , he’d say, “Oh… that’s gonna take some time.”

And time he gave. He was a giver in every sense. Even if he hated something, he’d try to plus it up and make it the best for you.

Going to his bay, you were stuck for an hour minimum. He’d break down all the ways the spot could go and what would make it great.

Man, I wish I could cut him off one more time saying, “I trust ya Mic, you’re the best, but I gotta go.”

He never made it about himself, and he’d never admit it, but he was a mentor to me.

It’s wild how much someone can impact your life in so little time. I learned decades of knowledge in two short years.

Crossing paths with Mic changed me as a creative.

He made every project better. Every person better. And he made me better.

He was truly the best.

Fuck, I’ll miss him.

@faouzia [ la la la ]

So this first clip was never part of the plan. We had a tight day of multiple setups for two different songs, covering all the social needs for Ms. Faouzia and her team. As we were going up the Atlantic Records elevator, my right hand manz and yin to my yang @loganpowaski mentioned how cool it’d be to shoot the 360 cam in there.

We definitely didn’t have time to add anything to the day, but a good idea is a good idea. Faouzia did one take, no rehearsal, no lights, just a quick five-minute grab to see what we could capture. So glad we did. It ended up being one of the most fun elements we shot that day.

And as you can see in the second scene of this clip, we shot some fun stuff. Dp @pierre.habib captured the fanciest… danciest hands in the biz @abby_chung and @e.m.i.l.y.j.o.

Had a blast whipping up these visuals for Faouzia and her team.
