Tha Block – Character Graphics

By

As part of the process of creating the webisode series Tha Block, I decided to create motion graphics for each person’s intro.  In doing so, I also decided to create still graphics utilizing the motion graphic elements in still form before I put motion to them in After Effects.  What a great way to capture each moment, right?!

Each graphic started out in Photoshop before going to After Effects.  Personally, I really like how these graphics turned out.  Each one holds true to the personality and background of the person it reps.  And each one had a lot of love put into it.  I had a lot of fun doing these.  Check out Urijah Faber and the rest of the crew from Tha Block.

Thanks for viewing!

Tha Block w/ Urijah Faber – Promo Teaser

By

This is the promo teaser I created some years back for Tha Block, a webisode series I was working on with MMA/UFC superstar, and old friend of mine, Urijah Faber.  I followed Urijah and his Team Alpha Male crew around for a solid six months getting footage of fights, interviews, daily life, funny happenings, original scripted content and more.  We got a good amount of buzz from this video.  And everything was going well until an unfortunate turn of events.  Siiiiiigh…..

Although Urijah and I continue to work together, this project has been put on hold for the time being….I stress time being.  Too much work was put into it and I feel strongly about it’s quality and worth.  So, it’s all about adjusting to the circumstances and timing.  I have a lot of good stuff on these guys and the plan is to one day get it going again, either by turning the footage I gathered into a film of some sort, or, doing as originally was thought out and release webisodes.  Either way, I’ll have to gather new footage in addition to this older stuff in order to bring viewers up to date with this crazy bunch of S.O.B.’s!  You have to know when to let projects go.  But you also have to know how to see failure vs hiccups.  This project hasn’t failed.  Tha Block’s just marinating.  🙂

For more on Urijah and Team Alpha Male, and boy is there a lot out there on them, visit Urijah’s website at www.urijahfaber.com.  You can also just turn on the TV….

Thanks for watching!

Tha Block – O.Z. & TJ Intro Music Video

By

A short, but fun music video we did for a currently grounded webisode series called Tha Block.  Each of the cast members/characters had their own intro.  This is/was TJ’s and O.Z.’s.  Notice MMA/UFC star Urijah Faber in the mix.  All production on this music video was done by me.  For more on Tha Block, check out the Webisodes section of Media by B.  Enjoy.

Thanks for peepin’!
