CHARLIE SIX BOOK TRAILER
(category: business) |

Brixton Key hired me to produce a promotional video for his critically acclaimed debut novel, Charlie Six. The trailer combines sights and sounds from the 1960s with a brief passage from the book that evokes the spirit of the times. In addition to the video promo, I also designed the book cover, website, and some promotional materials. |

Career Element, a start-up out of Stanford, wanted an introductory video for their website that would be both informative, instructing users how to use their services, and entertaining, creating a fun and buzz-worthy vibe.

My first passion is cinema. I have been writing, directing, and producing independent films and media for years.
In addition to my indie film pursuits, I have created commercials, music videos, corporate promotional videos, edited TV, designed motion graphics and branding, developed podcasts, you name it I've done it!
These are trailers, commercials, video clips, etc. of a few of the projects I've done.

I was asked to shoot and produce this PSA with Captain Sully Sullenberger (of emergency landing on the Hudson River fame) to draw public awareness to the FAA's new insufficient pilot fatigue rules and to motivate action.

PIG OINKER MUSIC VIDEO
(category: entertainment) |
Rock out to "Pig Oinker"! This bizarre original song and subsequent music video was written, produced, directed, animated, and edited by yours truly, Gabe Classic. Combining a catchy dirty-trance hook with a bouncy electro grounding, this crazy song is a little bit retro and a lot bit strange. But it's meant to be fun, so partake of it's colorful retina-burning mania with enthusiasm! The MP3 can be downloaded here free of charge and there's a nice selection of official Pig Oinker Merch to keep the dance party going! (Caution: Explicit Lyrics) |

ALIEN SEED
(category: entertainment) |
My uncle, artist Harold Wexler, brought me a series of drawings he had done in the 1970s. Though incomplete, the art style hooked me, as no one really draws that way anymore. I took the drawings and produced this short film from them, animating, creating an enigmatic narrative, and scoring and producing a soundtrack for the piece. What resulted is this intriguing short film regarding our origins. |
BACKSTREET BOYS PARODY
(category: entertainment) |
Back in 2005 in response to a personal betrayal, I wrote, directed, shot, performed, and edited this hilarious parody of the Backstreet Boys song "Incomplete" as a humorous expression of pain and frustration. A favorite of many across the net, I consider it a work of hilarious art. This video will have you rolling with laughter AND singing along! Ladies and gentlemen, I present the N'Street Guys, with their hit single "You're Crazy"! This IS a parody, so if you haven't seen the original, you can find it here. |

BROKEN POETRY
(category: entertainment) |
A Poetic Chronicle of a Broken Heart, I wrote the book, "BROKEN: Volume 1", over a period of 18 months. Featuring dark poetry, unique drawings, and vivid word imagery, "Broken" taps deep into emotions that are difficult to face. This video features a poem from the book, read aloud, animated, and set to original music, which I co-wrote with my old rock band, Dying Blynd. The book is available for purchase here. |
