BOOYA!!! Sheetz Loyalty Cards are here

We worked with Vela Strategic Marketing & Public Relations to produce a campaign for Sheetz Convenient Stores’ OOH and in-store branding. Heather, our team renaissance woman and my dear wife, spotted a couple of the billboards on a recent trip and snapped some photos for us to share (thanks Heather!).

It's always fun to see how the client utilizes our images, so we went searching for other examples and found this on their website and the following brochure.

And I'm really loving the 30-sec commercial they've made to compliment the images. Notice the last scene he's wearing the same outfit as our photos and in any Sheetz you may see a life-sized cardboard cutout of our friend here caught mid-toss of the Sheetz Loyalty Card.

On the Road Again with Bank of America

in

We’re about 75% done with our Bank of America project for 2010 and I thought I’d share a bit about where we’ve been and where we’re going for this massive corporate gig. The map above shows it visually, but here is the list of all the teams/venues we’re visiting this year:

Texas Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Kansas Speedway, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicagoland Speedway, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, LA Dodgers, New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Washington Redskins, Miami Homestead Speedway, Dallas Cowboys, Infineon Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Sarah, Bethany and Marge at Bank of America and SportsMark have been awesome to work with as usual (this is our 4th year working on this project). A big thanks to them for allowing our crew to get a chance to see so much of this awesome country.

Speaking of traveling, below are a few photos from our favorite side trip this year. These were taken while Heather and I stayed in a yurt on an alpaca farm in New Hampshire. While there we saw an alpaca give birth, a chicken lay an egg, and all sorts of other amusing and interesting farm happenings. What an awesome experience!

Duke Energy CGI Animation

We worked with the awesome web design firm Studiobanks to create this CGI animation for a new Duke Energy website.  Each pod in the video represents a different aspect of energy - generation, transmission and end usage.

The Wilderness Project

Sometimes art is so remarkable that it brings tears to my eyes.  It happened for me at Cirque du Soleil’s Love show in Vegas, and it often happens during great music or moments of inspiration.  It happened just now when I saw the Wilderness Downtown project, a project that converges the latest in technology in both web design and mapping, great video capture, great music, and one awesome concept.  I’m a big fan of great collaboration and this is a great example.  Just thought I’d share, hope you like….

Capturing BIG Images

in , ,

The post from http://www.workbook.com/blog/1106 …. I was in Texas shooting for a couple days at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. As a football fan and a fantasy football player (who happened to go 15-0 in my fantasy league last year!), I was well aware of all the excitement people felt over the new $1.3 billion stadium. After spending two days inside I could see why, the place is architecturally beautiful and, even while empty, is totally intense. The LCDs, the scoreboard, the dome, it’s something I wanted to try to capture in a unique way. Peter Godshall, our CGI artist/retoucher, and I are always trying to push the envelope to expand our capabilities. We used the opportunity to create a 3D spherical panoramic HDR image from the 50 yard line. It took over 100 photos to create the file. This project allows us to pull individual panoramas, as seen in this image, or it can be used for 3D purposes. For instance, if an agency wanted to show a vehicle at the 50 yard line we would have all the information necessary to take their CG vehicle and make every reflection and shadow look precisely right for that environment. It’s so much fun to constantly challenge ourselves and it always astounds me how quickly new capabilities will find their way into a project just around the corner.

Super-duper awesomeness.

I’m adding this to the About Us section of our website…

I was just sitting in the grass relishing in a rather perfect moment.  I was surrounded by so many of my favorite things that I decided to take a picture with my camera-phone.  We had several days off between jobs in Los Angeles so I went down to Santa Monica beach to relax.  On the way I picked up an overpriced-yet-totally-delicious salad from Whole Foods, as well as some peach tea and a dark chocolate bar (all organic).  As I sat there basking in the perfect southern-California sun and journaling about some upcoming projects I was struck with total bliss.  I thought, how awesome is it that I love my job and feel appreciated by the people I get to work with?  Totally awesome.  How great is it that I get to help take new concepts, services and inventions to the masses?  Super-duper awesome.  So, I thought I would share this moment with you as a way to learn a bit about me, and to also inspire anyone out there feeling in a rut to start moving towards what brings them joy because everyone deserves every bit of the peace and fulfillment this life has to offer.

A "Must See" in LA

in

I got to visit the Photographer of the Year awards exhibit again this year at The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles.  Having a photojournalism background myself, I have such great respect for these photographers and their storytelling abilities.  A truly remarkable space and show, I highly recommend it for anyone in the area (seriously go - Century City area, free admission and cheap parking).

A tanka for me

in

My friend Horace Bush wrote a tanka about me.  A tanka is a Japanese poem consisting of five lines, the first and third of which have five syllables and the other seven, making 31 syllables in all and giving a complete picture of an event or mood.

The Alchemical Visionary

With a snap, flash and mischievous smirk- he captures your soul now hostage in his magic lab.  He gives back only what you’ve become.

City Block Project
