"Blocked and Bothered"
7 min. 3 sec. (11 MB)

Part of the 48 Hour Film Festival, where the films were shot and edited in 2 days.
"Got Flic?"
2 min. 18 sec. (7 MB)
Directed by Curt Bonnem.
Wilson wants a cigarette but there's nowhere to smoke.
"Man Over the Hill"
8 min. - AFI Festival; AtomFilms.com
Directed by Richard Turke.
In Man Over The Hill, director Richard Turke spins a modern fable. After Richard chose a solo piano piece of mine for the score, I re-recorded the performance, keeping it simple yet elegant.
Hear the MP3 full version of the music, entitled "Semblance."
"Hupert's Visitors"
21 min. (70 MB)
Directed by Byron Jelden.
Hupert's Visitors is still a favorite for those who have seen it. It's a Twilight Zone meets Psycho story, with a Coen brothers-like, dark sense of humor. An orchestral aspect was chosen to match, with specific moods outlined by the director.
"Better than Grass"
2 min. 13 sec. (9.9 MB) - Spike & Mike Festival
Directed by Bonnie Leick.
In Better than Grass, director Bonnie Leick worked side-by-side with me, giving me a chance to really mold the score exactly to her liking - as it was being created. She had demanded quite a bit of percussion, and I was able to build a sort of Balinese/African layer of heavy drums. I combined it with some highly tweaked loops and layered this sort of haunting guitar part on top of that. The choir you hear at one point is several layers of the two of us singing.
"Skeleton Park"
1 min. 39 sec. (8.7 MB)
Directed by Bonnie Griggs.
When director Bonnie Griggs came to me with Skeleton Park, I couldn't refuse. The video was made by shooting the actors normally, then scanning each frame, and photocopying the printouts. Then the actors were cut out of each frame and placed over the rich backgrounds. I created a sound design for the picture, then added the musical elements.
"Sharkskin"
2 min. 45 sec. (4.8 MB)
Directed by Janice Carlberg.
This is a trailer I cut for Janice's longer version. I also added music to the opening, and added Dodd for the big tantrum scene.
"I Lost It"
1 min. 21 sec. (7.1 MB)
Directed by Bonnie Griggs.
Corporate
"Four Color Nightmare"
2 min. (9.8 MB)
Directed by Matthew Hasel.
We did the entire production for the Deluxe Corporation, as an extended commercial detailing the woes of traditional printing, in order to promote their newly acquired digital presses.
Zonetrader Tag
14 sec. (580 KB)
Directed by Omnera Interactive.
For ZoneTrader, I modelled the parts from vector files provided by the client. After rendering the video, I built the 'sparkling' effect and created a sound palette, which included cued musical elements combined with sound effects, creating the full experience of the landing Z.
