I’ve been hard at work doing the motion design for Morning Musume’s music video contest “3,2,1 Breakin’ Out”. I just wanted to update with a few “before and after” images. I’ll be using the same software for my own music video contest. The final footage you see above is still rough. As you can see [...]
I’m producing an animated kids show at the moment and putting together a team of people. I’m looking for a writer of Filipino descent, familiar with Tagalog and Filipino culture. Familiarity with linguistics and children a plus. We’re also looking at animators, recording facilities for voice over and mixing, sound effects design and DVD mastering [...]
Last night I went to the monthly Final Cut Pro User’s Group for the first time. It’s a monthly meeting of editors and motion graphic artists. They went over Mac’s Color software and some coloring techniques. Fun geeky stuff. Color is a software that intimidates me because my sense of color is pretty skewed and [...]
It’s been a busy week! Last week I met with Christina Varotsis who just co-produced The Merry Gentleman starring and directed by Michael Keaton. The movie was shot locally and is playing around town right now. It’s a really nice, quiet film about a hitman who’s tired of his life until he meets a woman [...]
Just got a sample of the music for The Scorpion and the Frog, a short film I directed in February. The composer is Daniel Vendt based out in L.A. and all I can say is that it’s amazing. I love it. But it’s not the final version yet. We still have to do some tweaking [...]
Some exciting news! Japan’s very own Morning Musume are coming to America to release a new single called “3,2,1 Breakn’Out”. To help promote it to an American audience they’ve created a music video contest and invited everyone to participate. Morning Musume used to be (or maybe still is) THE biggest Japanese pop girl groups in [...]
Inspired by dannychoo.com I ran around the city and took some photos of the everyday things I see. They’re not quite as interesting as his photos, but then again, he’s shooting Tokyo. Also doing it just to test the new photo gallery presentation on the blog.
A cool video I just discovered, directed by Yuichi Kodoma. I’ve never heard of this band before, but I like the style in which it’s done. I’ve dealt with bands with low energy before, and that’s cool, but I’ve always struggled with how to portray them in an interesting way especially when it’s a performance [...]
Just found out Spike Jonze has a blog. How cool is that? Looks like it’s dedicated to Where the Wild Things Are and a few other things he’s worked on in the past. Check it out: http://weloveyouso.com/blog/
***This is a sticky post. Newer posts will appear below*** Alright, here’s one of the mystery projects that I’ve been talking about! I’m offering three free music videos to bands that submit songs to dannyjive@dannyjive.com! I’m trying to build a stronger music video portfolio and I’m reaching out to all my Facebook friends and their [...]
