So I haven’t really been around for a while.

For the past six years, I’ve shared a place with my brother.  The arrange was that it was “his” place but I payed the utilities.  And at times, it was a great deal.  My brother works out on the road doing construction so it was like having the place to myself most of the time.

Then came…”The Roommates”

Now you have to understand these weren’t the healthy, “I gotta job, you gotta job, lets live together and split the bills so we got more money at the end of the month” roommates.  No, these were usually the “just lost the job, need a place to stay for a couple weeks, months, years if i can get away with it” roommates.  There were a couple of exceptions to this, but not many…

I always got feed up with it because while my brothers mortgage was set the utilities fluctuate depending on how many people were living there.  A few times that number was over six.  Me with the only one with a job, paying bills.

Needless to say, now when i hear the term roommate, i think “roommate = me getting screwed”.

But all that’s old news now.  This past month, I moved into my own place where it’s quiet and the internet is cheap!

This was a commercial i recently completed for Victory Church in Camden. They were doing a service in a neighboring town and needed a commercial to advertise the event and build excitment for it.

Post a comment telling me what you think!

So back in September i finished this ad for a South Arkansas Music Festival. I know I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t had a chance to post anything new.

So let me know what you think in the comments!

So last Saturday I went to my first ever Razorback game with my brother and a couple of friends. The game was intense! All culminating into a nail biting final play that won us the game.

And while the game shouldn’t have been as close as it was, (we were only playing Louisiana-Moroe) I’ve gotta say that it was a perfect first game to go to!

PIG SOOEY!

War Memorial Stadium...Right after the win!

Thousands of fans Callin' tha Hogs!

Me on the mountain

So this year for my Birthday I took off for a few days around my birthday and took a little road trip to visit some friends in North Carolina.  All-in-all, I had a great time minus the 10 hour drive.  But even that wasn’t so bad.

Check Out some of the Highlights!

Jesica & Joey at Hooters

Going up Blueridge Parkway.

This was a spot we did as a favor advertising Victory Church in Camden, AR Father’s Day service.

We had a lot of information to pack into 30 seconds.

They wanted it to follow the “Indiana Jones” theme.

This was a video that my company was hired to do for a weekly re-inactment of a famous gun battle that took place in the town in 1902.

We used wood textures and warm tones to give it a Western feel.

PS – I seriously gotta find a better way to compress these!

This was a ten second ad that we were hired to do through the Diamond Agency for a client called Relax the Back.The ad was to be run on the JumboTron at Travelers stadium during their baseball games.

This project presented several challenges in that:
1. the spot couldn’t have audio.
2. they wanted quite a bit of info about what they offer.
3.They wanted it to look busy, yet relaxing (love it when they go that direction.)
4. All I was given was 3 picutres and a Logo

This ad was for a local festival in El Dorado, AR that featured Motorcycles, Music, and Crawfish.

I had a very limited amount of time and rescources. I was given the logo, flyer, and the audio track and was told to make something awesome. And have it done by the end of the day.

I think it came out pretty well

I’ve been insanely busy over the past couple of weeks but I plan on posting some new stuff this week.
