Wexley White Elephant

Click the image above to check out Wexley's online holiday card. I had the privilege of shooting all the videos and programming it. It's fun! It makes me want to be a hand actor.

Inc. and Lost Beer

...Not every potential client is ready. A while back, Jansport came by. Jansport makes backpacks. Tom Deslongchamp, who is an art director but, like everyone else at Wexley, is agile and contributes to pretty much everything, put on a white jumpsuit and a top hat and squeezed himself into a gigantic Jansport bag that sat in the corner of the upstairs conference room. When Jansport's marketing reps arrived, Deslongchamp hopped out of the bag and handed over the presentations. Perhaps it was a little much -- Wexley didn't get the job. Which is OK. Either you get what Wexley is selling -- a very particular sensibility and approach toward marketing -- or you don't.

The above excerpt is from an article about Wexley School for Girls (my employer) in the March issue of Inc. Magazine.

I'm trying to figure out how to datamosh(watch in HD). I can do it sloppily, but nothing close to the quality in that Chairlift video.

Jess and I are looking for a house to buy.

Here's a flyer I saw taped to a utility box:

Wham

A lot of great things happened at work last week.

John, Please.

Bryan, John, and I made a short film at work.

A Typical Day At Work

There are times when you're at work, that you must do not-work. It doesn't complete a project, but it helps the human soul some how.

I enjoy doing this not-work.

Oh Smack

This video was shot on a bus ride from Centralia to Seattle. We'd just finished the holiday party and had 2 hours to hang out, so I yanked out my camera and started improvising a film. I love spontaneous projects like these... and it helps having a captive group of potential actors.
