Video Game Work

Killzone: Liberation - Announce Trailer

I was the post-production Creative Director as well as the practical effects producer for this trailer. I led the post team on the pre-viz edits for the animation director, led the post-production process as the final rendered shots came in, and finalized the online edit for mastering.  

SOCOM - Combined Assault

Working for PlayStation's San Diego Studios as a Creative Director, I led a team that created the 12 cinematic scenes for the video game. I worked closely with the Executive Producers on the script, animation Pre-Viz, then directed voice and motion capture actors as well as animation artists in the production phase.  I also oversaw the editing and sound mix phase and mastering to disc and digital media.

MotorStorm - Pacific Rift Announce Trailer

As Creative Director and Copywriter, I was given the task to promote two items: to show off the gameplay and make it feel like a movie trailer or sports show teaser, and I was also asked to use a SlipKnot track to promote their new single "Sulfur".      

Lair - E3 Announce Trailer

As a Creative Director, I was asked to lead the pre-viz in pre-production and concept phase, helping the game producers get the right timing and work out shots. During the production and post-production phase, I led the editing team to bring the final rendered shots together and work with the animation team to ensure that the QC'ing was in place when the shots were inserted into the main edit for exporting to final mastering.        

Uncharted: Golden Abyss - Story Trailer

In my video game career, I was asked to Creative Direct many of the trailers for PlayStation's most important titles. For this trailer, I worked with the game producers and 3D animation artists to craft a trailer that would tell a story to entice the audience to buy the game and entertain the viewer as well.         

Pain: The Hoff - Marketing Campaign

I was asked by the producers of the Pain video game to Creative Direct and script a series of videos featuring celebrities who did cameos in the video game including Elvira, Andy Dick, Flava-Flav, and George Takei. These were so much fun to do!          

ModNation - Launch Trailer

I was asked to lead the pre-viz and post production teams as a Creative Director to concept and oversee the delivery of this launch trailer.
