It’s a new year and, like all the rest of us, I really plan on making this one count. I figured I’d start updating this blog much more often, perhaps even every other day(ish). But, dear reader, let me fill you in on a little secret. Doing something creative every day is often a challenge, although even more challenging is updating a blog every day. Luckily, I have some catching up to do. Even though the title of this site may no longer be as accurate as it was in year one, it’ll be much more accurate than it’s been for a while.
I thought a great way to start off the new phase in the life of this blog would be a quick recap of what I’ve been up to in the last year or so. Have a look at my newly revised video production, post-production, and motion graphics demo reel! It’s a collection of all my favorite work from the last year and I’m feeling pretty good about it!

I created this video using After Effects and Garageband, but not before drawing all the illustrations by hand and then coloring them using Illustrator. I’m really happy with how this project turned out. I feel like I’m finally getting comfortable with many aspects of After Effects, although I know I’ve only scratched the surface of all it can do.
By the way, be sure to catch Soapbox Derby at Ferndale, Michigan’s Go Comedy Improv Theater!

I’m currently in the rehearsal process for a halloween show at the Planet Ant Theatre. We still have quite a lot of work to do, but we’ve been having a great time along the way. The show is gonna be wacky and scary and a whole lot of fun. I won’t give too much away yet, but I did want to share the logo I created to help us in promoting the show. It’ll also be featured in a poster and a trailer very soon, so keep a look out.
