How to Make a Moscow Mule

I created this 2D motion graphics video using Adobe After Effects CC and Adobe Photoshop. This type of video would work well on Instagram and other social media platforms for a company in the liquor, beverage, or bar industry. 

The process involved the use of multiple layers, custom shapes, and key-framing. The lime was created by manipulating the shapes. The mule was created using a new layer and the pen tool.

Spec Commercial: The Journey and On My Way

I wrote, directed, and produced this spec commercial for an energy drink.
I had one production assistant (Note Suwanchote) and one actor (Aaron Taylor) who helped make this possible. 

This commercial was fast-paced. We had one day to shoot everything in four different locations (gym, track field, house, trail). With only a cast and crew of three people, the challenge was there...but we made it happen.

After filming, I was able to cast the right voice-over actor, source the right music, and complete the editing of this video below the expected budget and before the anticipated date. 

I wrote, directed, and produced this spec commercial for an energy drink. For this commercial, I wanted to test out a visual effect, incorporate text messages using Adobe, and produce custom sound effects.

Overall, it was a great learning experience.
