As awesome as Captain America jumping off of Optimus Prime

Radio Station Ad Contest

Posted by Nick

So, about a month ago, a coworker of mine clued me in to a contest at an area radio station.  They’re looking for a commercial that promotes them as the “Only New Rock Alternative.”  I’m about to get started on it sometime in the next few days, as it’s due March 9th at 5:00.  What is the prize you ask?  A Macbook Pro with Final Cut as well as 2 Tickets to the Sundance Film Festival 2009.  Will I win?  Who knows…I’m guessing all the good people are waiting until the last day to post theirs.

Wish me luck!

Videos in Ireland

Posted by Nick

Last September, CedarCreek did a series called “Religiously Transmitted Diseases.”  This was a fun series for me because After Effects CS3 had arrived in the middle of the previous series so this was the first intro that I was able to use new effects, such as the puppet tool.  After much trial and error, I figured out how to get decent looking movement out of the tool on pictures of bacteria, which looked pretty cool in motion.  Still to this day it’s one of my favorite series intros.

Fast forward to the middle of February, 2008.  I received an e-mail from the Causeway Coast Vineyard church in Northern Ireland.  They wanted the series intro and graphics for their own RTD series.  I was able to hook them up with what they needed.  They start their series this weekend and I look forward to hearing how things go for them. 

 Here’s the video they’re using.

Welcome to my super cool blog!

Posted by Nick

Now, I’ll be honest…blogs don’t really seem appealing to me, but my brothers started doing it and seem to be having a good time.  I just wanted a chance to put up more awesome pictures of Optimus Prime.  Just wait until my real banner is done!  It shall be epic!

This will most likely end up as a place for me to post about what I’m learning in After Effects, things that I find exciting in motion graphics, movies that I do and don’t like and maybe a bit about my job at CedarCreek Church from time to time.  I don’t want to get into spirited philosophical debates or start discussing political views on this site, so if those topics come up I will immediately change the subject to me…cause I’m awesome.

Check back soon, as I will try to update at least twice a week.
