So much clean-up! These spots were the ultimate example of “we’ll fix it in post”. There are tons of screen-replacements, paint-jobs and 3D elements composited into these shots. It was a lot of work but I think my team at Almost Gold did an amazing job!

Massachusetts Financial Services has been a wonderful creative partner for Almost Gold. They come to us early with ideas and we collaborate from concept to completion. They like to stand out from the crowd by utilizing fully 3D animations for their spots and we love making them.

While at Almost Gold I acted as the Executive producer for these Dyson spots. We partnered with Durable Goods and Director Chris Applebaum.
My team at Almost Gold was told to make this leaf blower come across like a jet engine firing up on an aircraft carrier in Top Gun. We took this motivation and ran with it. This spot is completely over the top and I love it.

A lot of people don’t know this but Ace is actually “the place”. Our intention at Almost Gold was to get this message across with photo-real 3D products at the end of their commercials.

McDonald’s actually made a golden shamrock shake for this promotion and gave it away to someone. I’m sure this person immediately had it melted down and sold the raw materials for thousands of dollars. If they didn’t do that and they now have a bejeweled shamrock shake worth thousands of dollars just sitting in their house… well… well I just think that is stupid and I don’t want to be their friend.
That said, my team at Almost Gold worked really hard to blend these practical and CG elements together and we were super happy with the results.

I worked on Sony PlayStation’s Creative team for years as a Producer. We created hundreds of videos and commercials over that time supporting 1st party titles. At one time or another, I was responsible for almost every element of production but spent most of my time writing and producing.

Microsoft came to Almost Gold with a request for a series of cinemagraphs that represented the interactivity of their new line of products. We narrowed down the concept to these executions and started creating 3D environments for our live action arms to live in. We shot the arms using miniature sets to represent the 3D environments and then composited the arms into the shots.

TCU need a hi-quality broadcast spot but the budget was tight. So, they came to Almost Gold and we were able to help them build a beautiful spot that spoke to the school’s evolving brand and culture.

I normally only do work for “A List” clients but when this scrappy little startup called Google came looking for help, I couldn’t resist. My team at Almost Gold decided we could throw them a bone try and make the camera on their phone look elegant, yet sophisticated. I think it worked and I wish them well.

More than just the newspaper with all the color you see on an airplane. These spots were a blast to work on. So much color and so much going on. We produced a ton of them at Almost Gold but here is the best.

Synchronized swimming razors? Yes please. This spot was a lot of fun to make with the team at Bic. It is always a good time when you get to be playful with a product and add some water simulations into the mix. Our whole team at Almost Gold was happy with the result.

It is all about the textures for this one. Career Builder had Almost Gold build this spot very limited direction and very limited budget. We decided to go all in on the photo-real textures and create a super fun world to tell their story in.

How do you make a 3D Gentleman Jack bottle sexy? I’ll show you how…
FCB came to Almost Gold with this job and we had a blast making these CG products.

Top of the World was looking for a video capture the heart of the company and emotionally connect with its fans. I love this spot and I think we nailed it.
