Ancient Tomorrow-excerpt

Tim Oberg — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:32:27 +0000

Here I did some work for a TV pilot trailer. They gave me the rough-cut footage, just a clean plate of the guy opening a book, and asked me to make a surge of light and mysterious information come blasting out as we transition to the pyramid fly-through. I also composited the fly-through graphics as well.

Watch the original footage without my effects here.

The portion of the trailer that I worked on, here shown as the raw footage I started with, without visual effects.

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.

Personal trailer: Emily & Michael

Tim Oberg — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:35:46 +0000

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.

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.

Personal trailer: Ella

Tim Oberg — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:09:01 +0000

This one features some 3D stills incorporated with regular photographs (only because it’s intensely time-consuming to do that effect to every single still image). But I must humbly admit, it takes the “Slideshow” experience to a whole new level of visual experience.

Jesus for President

Tim Oberg — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:22:40 +0000

Watch the whole thing, but if you don’t want to, at least skip to about 1:30 into it; that part you gotta see.

This video’s web launch coincided with billboard advertisement in Reedley, California, all to pave the way for a client’s (Reedley First Baptist Church’s) recent election theme of “Jesus For Is President.”

Lifesong

Tim Oberg — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 20:53:52 +0000

Music: “Lifesong,” by Casing Crowns. This was intended to display lyrics to the song in a highly stylized manner, but which also could be sung along with in a church service.
