Going back to my roots, I thought I’d post some work of a somewhat local artist. I’m always surprised to see all the great work that comes out of Portland, and from rather unsuspecting fellows too. Take the two guys I used to work with at Nike for example (Marshall and Russell you know who you are). Meet them on the street: what’s up, regular ass dudes with no tats and who wear normal fitting jeans and t-shirts. Meet them in the lab and they’re turning out some of the sickest motion graphics and 3D work I’ve ever seen. Anyway, back to this guy…

This piece was just too good to pass up. I personally have never used Lightwave, but this is about as good as I’ve even seen. And forget the tech mumbo jumbo, this is a pretty bad ass Porsche commercial too! It’s ads like this that I watch and think, “This is real sick, probably cost a fortune, but where does it end up?..”

I’ve kinda been all over the place with this post, so I’ll go ahead and shut it down. Check out Stephen Fitzgerald’s Vimeo page and keep checking back for more blogs on motion graphics, video production and editing.

So most of my friends know by now that I’ve been interviewing with a company here in Portland called Immersive Media (they’re the company who invented the Google Street View technology). They’re probably the biggest media company that you’ve never heard of.



During our last meeting they showed me a piece that they did (along with Saatchi and Saatchi) for Armani’s latest jeans campaign, and damn is it a great use of the technology! To all the creative and ad agencies out there, take note. You’ll want it soon.

Footnote: One of the models in the ad is also Miley Cyrus’s boyfriend… See if you can spot him.
