American McGee’s “Alice” Trailer

American McGee’s “Alice” Trailer

Oct 1, 2000

This was one of my favorite pieces I directed while at LittleBeast. Matt (my producer/friend/partner) and I had met producer R.J. Berg a year before, producing cinematics for his game Future Cop: L.A.P.D.; now he was gearing up for a wicked, twisted fairy tale based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Coincidentally (or not, depending on your take), I had been in early development on a twisted Alice tale myself. Mine...

Crest Multi-Care “Flex” Commercial

Jul 1, 1999

While at Western Images, I spearheaded the team that produced this little commercial that never aired. (The product itself got pulled before air-time.) Still, it was a nice little farse, hot on the heels of The Matrix. In addition to laying out all the pacing and action (my typical pre-vis/camera direction), I did final animation on about a third of the scenes and art-directed the look and lighting. Animated and...
