* TV spots

we love TV

[ADVERTISING SELF-REFERENTIAL ASIDE/FOOTNOTE: For some reason, I liked the above line--from Chiat's (now ancient) yellow-and-black ABC TV campaign--so much, it ended up in the refrain of a Varsity Drag song, "My Neighbor Works For Goodby" (the gist of which is also a true story).

Anway, where was I? Oh yeah, TV.

Anyway, here's a couple spots I made that I actually DO like. (There are many more that I DO NOT. So they ain't here.)

TV: opie & anthony

THIS JUST IN: Won gold at the local (Portland) Ad Club Show with these...deep sigh. If only the agency had bothered submitting to ANYTHING national.

Deep sigh. :-)

:30 OPIE & ANTHONY "they belong on the radio"

:15 OPIE & ANTHONY "they belong on the radio"

(The :15 is my favorite.) :-)

OBLIGATORY DVD EXTRA: Ben hosts the "making of" featurette!

colorforms

The "Silly Faces" spot for Colorforms deserves a brief explanation. I started as the writer. Ended up as also the director. And assistant Art Director. And actor. Not once, but twice (I am two of the 4 actors you'll see.) All for about $10,000. It went on to win a "Gold Marble" award -- a show judged entirely by kids.

COLORFORMS :30 "silly faces"

digital island

The "Digital Island" spot was a quickie I created from stock footage on 2 weeks' notice, but the effect of my brother Jonno's music (written on 2 DAYS notice) sure makes it seem epic. At least, that's what I think.

DIGITAL ISLAND :60 TV "slow down"
