This video was used as an in-store video at select Lowe's locations to showcase this brand new technology. The creative direction was to make the product feel 'epic'. Using a graphic template and script provided by the creative agency The Variable (TVA) I shot, animated, edited, and designed sound for the project. Video was captured with a Nikon D850 on a FotoRobot turntable. Video Copilot's Optical Flares was the major effect utilized in After Effects, but an animated Displacement Map was used to good effect to make the food shot come to life.

This video was a fun challenge as the product was marketed as a social grill, but we didn't have the time or budget to film a lifestyle shoot. My solution was to film myself on the same turntable that I spin products. In After Effects I first keyed the footage, then animated masks to make the silhouettes look like different people and finally composited them all together.

I wrote, shot, animated, and edited this video for Char-Broil using a graphic template and intro/extro animations provided by the creative agency The Variable (TVA).

I was part of the creative team that took on the task of re-branding CharBroil Grills in its 75th year of operations. I was provided with a style guide for logo, fonts and colors and given the challenge to make the move. The tone and feel is very different from other brands in the outdoor cooking category; playful, bouncy and bright.

To make it work as a template I explored ways to make the typography and animations procedural so projects could be handed off to other animators and require minimal editing.

Product animations were rigged in Cinema 4D with materials and lighting that pushed photorealistic without becoming a time-intensive render to accommodate accelerated production schedules.

Several procedural typographic transitions along with animated food elements were built in After Effects where the video was completed. Scenes were built as modules that can be trimmed or extended easily.

Shot on a Nikon D850 and iPhone 12pro, I also wrote and edited this live cooking demo video.

This video was created for the package submitted to CES (Consumer Electronics Show) where the Current Grill won an innovation award.

The production was fast-paced with less than two weeks between script development and final delivery. I shot the video in studio using a Nikon D850 along with a Fotorobot 360 for spins and a motion control slider for dolly shots.

The product was not final so Adobe After Effects was used to composite physical changes and digital controls on the product. The final video was edited with Adobe After Effects.

Char-Broil re-branded it's patented Tru-Infrared Cooking System as AmpliFire in 2022.
