I did a cover video for Nine Inch Nail's song titled "Right Where It Belongs". I wanted it to be a little creepy, a little nostalgic, and have a sense of something wrong, which lends itself pretty well to the song. I shot the entire thing on my phone, Samsung Galaxy 5s, and edited it in After Effects.
No teddy bears were harmed in the making of this video, even though it looks like it.
As for the gig poster, Photoshop is awesome! (sometimes) I used that and Illustrator to create the flaming volcano of color. After lots of research into their past album art, I concluded that NIN's branding is a little odd and usually visually unsettling, but includes many natural elements. I took the organic for of a volcano and added the bright color to make it a bit of a visual feast and keep the unsettled element from past artwork
The challenge: to create a 30, 60, or 90 second spot about who I am as a designer. It's hard to describe my designing style in a general sense because every project, every client, every deliverable is has it's own unique life to it. So, I promoted myself as who I am as a human being. It's a lot harder to tell someone's character without knowing their personal history, and that's what I focused on.
I was part of the creative team that made this promotion for Unplug Atlanta. Our concept was to portray humorous situations that occur when people are focused more on their device than the world around them. I helped film, edited the clips together, and was an integral part of concepting and staging.
