EVOLUTION OF ENTERTAINMENT


Commercial

I worked with The Collective @ LAIR to shoot and edit this cross-branded promo for DIRECTV and History's series The Men Who Built America. Using miniature sets, archival footage, stop motion animation, high speed cameras, and actors on green screen, we were able to tell the evolution of motion pictures from Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope to modern high-speed, high frame rate film production.
