My After Effects work so far in 2010

Showreel-Fall 09

Tim Oberg — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:31:29 +0000

Samples of recent Monkeyraft projects from the Fall of 2009. They include, in order of appearance: a branding promo for an international relief organization ICOMB, 2.5D animated wedding photos by Mariano Friginal, a music video for the global When I Grow Up organization, and wedding footage for New Orleans-based production company Silver Media. Thanks to all these recent clients who gave me the opportunity to make some great material for them!

ICOMB promo Motion Graphics

Tim Oberg — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:30:59 +0000

The International Community of Mennonite Brethren (ICOMB) is launching a worldwide campaign to share their mission and purpose, and grow their presence on the web. They are a subsidiary of Mennonite Brethren Mission and Service International (MBMSI).

They contracted with Monkeyraft Studios to create some 2.5D motion graphics for the promo, which was a lot of fun. Their in-house editor pulled together all the live footage, but the graphics had to match up to the precise frame, so as to give a seamless-segue feel from one live-action portion through the effects to the next.

This was before I migrated over to Adobe, so the graphics were done in Apple’s Motion. Next time I work with this type of thing, it will be in After Effects.

California CASA—full length

A Docu-promo (shot in HD originally, but waaay down-converted here, sorry). An organization in Northern California needed a video that would help raise awareness of what they do, inspire people with money and/or time to donate either, and feel “flashy but not cold and detached.” I tried to edit that warmth into this by using real film-grain overlays on the B-roll stuff, and by choosing to edit with a lot of candid footage, in between interview takes and such. What that gave me were lot’s of great cuts where the orphans and their “volunteer advocates” are interacting very naturally. “Advocates for Children” was very satisfied with this piece and overjoyed with what I was able to do with the material.

Personal trailer: Emily & Michael

I only had a hand in the post-production of this material. (The amazing photography for the six 2.5D stills was done by Mariano Friginal). The groom is also a great photographer (Michael L’Heureux). But the video and audio were merely grabbed by a guest at the wedding with a small camcorder.

Award-Winning “Blossom Trail” spot

Commissioned by Ed Boling at The Reedley Exponent, this video helped Mr. Boling win First Place in 2009, for “coverage of the opening ceremonies of the 2009 Blossom Trail, complete with video and photographs…” from the Fresno County Farm Bureau.

When I Grow Up

Tim Oberg — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:13:09 +0000

When I Grow Up is a global organization desigened to assist orphans, orphan guardians, and other children throughout the developing world.

This promo was heavily inspired by a Nike commercial, but I created every element from scratch.

California CASA—short

As a local organization under California CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Advocates For Children in San Mateo is raising awareness and funding for area foster youth.

They wanted me to edit a video that told the stories of 3 former foster youth who each had an advocate through their teen years. For more information visit www.advocatesfc.org (it will open in a new window, so you can still watch more videos here)
