'Prince Releasing' Production Card
March 22, 2013
Design/ Animation: Production Card
Prince Releasing
Here's a short little production card ID for independent film company Prince Releasing.
The style was to encapsulate a middle eastern flavor starting with a faux arabic style logo to design. An interesting dichotomy in production company logos is that not only are they used in this extremely large format context, which entails them being projected across a 50 foot screen in a movie theater, but they are also seen very small. Most production company logos are going to end up as tiny single color images on movie posters as well. So in a nutshell, the simpler the better.
In-N-Out Burger Bora-Bora Video

In-N-Out Burger
As part of the ongoing list of incentives and benefits that In-N-Out Burger associates have for working with the company, the annual golden ring to reach for is becoming a member of the 100% Club.
When an associate becomes a member of the 100% Club, they go on an exotic vacation, and BTV puts together a vacation video of the trip for all the participants. In this case, I was able to contribute a title sequence to capture the majesty of Bora-bora.

Interface Design/ Animation
In-N-Out Burger
In the making of the graphics package for the Bora-bora travel video, for In-N-Out Burger, an extension of the design was used to create the menus for the DVD that it would be distributed on.
As any DVD these days, it contains chapter selections, bonus materials, and in this case, credits for the creators behind it all.
'Guilt Trip' T-Shirt Design
November 29, 2012
T Shirt Design: Feature Film
Paramount Pictures/ Skydance Productions
A quick little job I did quite a few months ago finally popped up online: a t-shirt design I did for Barbara Streisand for her movie 'Guilt Trip'.
Teaming up with costume designer extraordinaire Danny Glicker, again, he needed a very simple shirt with very specific needs. What are needs? In this case it's a matter of feeling, tone, and authenticity.
A lot of my work comes for being sort of an expert in pastiche and being able to emulate design styles of the past. But not every job is recreating 1950s atomic age kitsch. In this case it was about emulating the banal and mass produced.
In-N-Out Burger Anniversary DInner 2012

Title Design/ Animation: Live Event
In-N-Out Burger
As the year rolls on, we recognize anniversaries, and in this case it is the anniversary of everyone's favorite hamburger join: In-N-Out burger.
To celebrate, they put on an anniversary dinner for their associates and recognize accomplishments and all the standard fun to make the night worth while and a joy to be a part of. These days the company spans many different states, as far away as Texas, so attending is meant to be a special occasion.
"Burden" Political Ad
October 01, 2012
Animation: Television Commercial
David Byrd Consulting
The second of a pair of Maryland political commercials I worked on was for a ballot initiative on legalizing gambling.
For this project I did a bunch of concept and temp design work which isn't that interesting to talk about. But a quick little finished piece was also animated and that's what this is, here.
The angle was the concept of tax payers already carrying too much of a financial burden, so let's bring in some gambling revenue to help out. Having parents that live in Las Vegas, I understood completely.
"Dream Act" Political Ad
September 26, 2012
Animation/ Visual Effects: Television Commercial
David Byrd Consulting
Political season came around this time with some fun opportunities to contribute to some campaigning. This in particular was for some Ballot Initiatives that were being voted on in Maryland.
First up was a spot about college tuition money 'leaving' the state. It was literally a sequence of stock photos and voice over for timing.
From there I worked some magic and by using only still photos, tried to create some cinematic shots of columns of money blowing out of the state. A few virtual camera moves, some lighting and atmospheric tricks, with a bit of compositing effort, and we had ourselves a political commercial!
