Brain Farm - The Creators Project

It all started when Curt Morgan broke his back snowboarding, and after the doctors insisted that he quit snowboarding Curt decided to explore his other passion—filmmaking.  Curt Morgan brought a new modern-style of filmmaking to the action sports industry which has now evolved into turn-key boutique production house making films for Quiksilver, Red Bull, National Geographic, Oakley, United States Marines, and others.

Brain Farm is not just relying on creative genius; they have dedicated a tremendous amount of time and resources to the latest technologyincluding a mobile stabilization system built on missile guidance technology that has to be registered with the government—to give their shots a unique look.

Free Fall

World champion freediver Guillaume Nery dives to the bottom of Dean’s Blue Hole at a depth of 202m filmed entirely on breath hold.  This movie was made to bring attention to freediving and show another approach to freedliving videos.  Editing by BLUENERY (Guillaume’s girlfriend) and music by Archive.  Shot with the Canon 5D Mark II.

We wanted to express the strength of the elements water-earth-air and the sensations of freedom, harmony, exploration.

Else Mobile—The Time Has Come

Rob Chiu (The Ronin) directed, edited, composited and graded this introduction for Else Mobile’s new mobile device.  This spot is apart of a larger campaign and Else Mobile website by Los Angeles agency The Visionaire Group.  Although the cinematography, production, and score is beautiful and visually stunning, the concept for the campaign seems far to dramatic and ostentatious for my taste, especially for a product consumers should get excited about.

The Third & The Seventh

Architecture through the cinematographic lens. The visual fusion between the third and the seventh arts.

A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-build spaces.”

The level of realism that they were able to achieve in this full cg film absolutely blows me away.  I can only imagine the amount of work that went into producing this piece.  Still renders from the project: Man Made VS Nature, Furniture, Mats & Lights, and The Detail.
