Music video directed by Smuggler's Jon Watts for the Folded Light song "Train Tracks at Dawn." Editing and some effects by me (Keith Hamm) with help from Brickyard VFX's Chris Sonia on the more difficult effects shots. One of my favorite videos!

My second clip for Kram. A bit of a family affair. Lots of fun and we didn't almost kill him on this one.
Shot by me on a HVX170 which may be my new favourite non RED cam.

Liquid Creations created this video clip in a week and a half from start to finish complete with 51 effects shots. We shot the clip on RED for the most part but used a Sony EX3 with a canon 22x Broadcast Lens for a few live shots.

It was awesome creating the look and feel for the light painting. We shot the plates in the forest on RED and got the artist to draw shapes and words with a torch. We then motion tracked his movements and used a particle generator to draw the lines.

With the very kind help from Fractured Films, Shotopop directed "Because of you", the first single from the new album, "Smashes & Trashes".

The video tells the tragic love-story of a bird, and, erm.... a balloon. Its true... The live footage was mostly shot on a painted backdrop, with the final sequence filmed on greenscreen. Footage from the shoot was edited and spliced together with the animated story-line to make the final film. Hmmm - What fun!

Thanks to Paul for all the advice, Pieter for sound, Dom & Will from Fractured Films for all their help with the shoot, Mr Andy Marshall for giving us some of his time for free, and Super Stu, for all the nice 3D goodies in the vid!
