Hey Dude,
Congrats from me and the family! H asks - did you win the full 25k?

What's the scope software/hardware? Is the patchbay SDI and if so, which one is it. Looks like a very productive place for sure.

Hey Mink, nope, some other lucky individuals won the prize packages.

MississippiSon, yes, the patchbay is HD-SDI; Canare. I also use Canare for my cables. The scopes are an old Videotek 330E. If you're looking to buy and you can take the heat of running yet another box, the Blackmagic UltraScope looks like an interesting solution. By the way, nice rig.

Where can we see your work?
I once interviewed to do a similar job at Sony's old San Diego studios, but I wasn't knowledagble enough on Photoshop at the time to get the job. I do broadcast design for a music video network and like that I still get to work with awesome footage; music videos are a good second to working with video game footage.

Hi erikcantu,

I'll post some links late today to some of my work in games. Music videos are great fun too. I cut my short form teeth working on music videos at Merge @ Crossroads Films with superstar director, Brandon Dickerson (currently with BOOM http://boommv.com ).

Here's my most recent work; the attract video for MX vs. ATV Reflex:

I did all of the animation; the original poster art was created by the talented guys in our concept art department.

This is a showcase of our animators' talents. I did the filming, and composited in Shake (the masking, sting wounds and ambient occlusion pass were done in Combustion by the lead animator)

I remember Brandon's videos for Switchfoot back in the day, cool!

15 Jan 2010

Hey, I'm that long haired film director in Brandon's video for Polarboy's "In My Shoes" from way, way back in the day!
Bad version of it on YouTube . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVJLfJ3Haxg
If you talk with Brandon anytime soon tell him I said Hi!
