RocketSlide Directing and Comedy Capabilities Reel.
I produced and directed these fun spots for the amazing team at Launch for Mitsubishi. It was such a fun project and we were able to crank this series of spots out in a single day on location safely with covid protocols in place. The talent on this really brought these spots to life!
I produced and shot these spots with Dave Willis and Pete Smith at [adult swim]. I think they turned out pretty great and wanted to share them with you. Henry Zebrowski brought his performance A game as always and served up this twisted take on the corporate interview video. If you haven't seen it this show is f@#%&ng hilarious.
Here's a fun co brand spot I shot and directed for Geico and the SAG Awards Show on TBS.
Woah! We won GOLD at PROMAX with this one! I directed this trailer remake for Lionsgate and the fine folks at TBS. The request was "let's have kids remake the Boo2 trailer" and see what happens. What happened was hilarious and super fun to make.
This was a fun spot promoting Conan O'Brien at COMICON for Snickers and TBS. The challenge was filling a convention center with people on a tight budget. It was fun strategically placing background extras to fill every shot. Wardrobe and costuming were on point. I love doing this type of spot!
Burgers and Bear Suits Go! Working with actual bears was deemed “reasonably unsafe” so here we are!
I shot and co directed this piece for Authority Films with Jonathan Rej for our buddies at [adult swim]. This was a fun little shoot and we got to work with the amazing T-800.
Director Editor Jonathan Rej
Co Director DP Thomas Bingham
Shot produced and directed this 30 TV Spot for Moxie and Verizon fios.
Here's the crazy promo I directed for [adult swim] and The New Disney/ Dreamworks Need For Speed Movie Starring Aaron Paul. We actually spent a week or so driving a total piece of crap across the country traveling Atlanta to LA by way of Route 66. It was an insane stunt really when I look back at it but it was an incredible time! Lots of great folks helped out on this one. This piece throws to a behind the scenes clip. This is the spot I produced minus the clip. Check it out!
RocketSlide Films produced and I directed these "Hell on the street" fake job fair spots for adult swim. We actually set up a tent and tried to get folks to apply for a job in hell. We found plenty of takers.
This is a spinoff web testimonial that I directed shot and produced for my friends at Moxie Interactive for Amdro based on the "When bugs drive you crazy..." TV campaign. It was a fun project to be a part of and the actors cast out of Atlanta were great! These short pieces are part of a larger interactive video on the Amdro website and are used as banner ads across the web. Enjoy!
Killer Mike had us laughing our asses off on these [adult swim] promos we did. I know you'll enjoy them too, so do yourself a favor and check em out! Here he talks about some of his favorite TV spots.
This is an oldie but goodie that I co directed with Jonny Rej for Sun Drop. This was done during the short time where we were still shooting film and mastering in HD. This one was shot on Super 16mm.
I shot and directed these promo pieces for [adult swim] and Jason DeMarco with El-P. I hadn't worked with El since directing Big Beast so this was a cool opportunity to get to work together again. We discussed some new ideas as well so stay tuned.
I launched my production company under the name RocketSlide Films doing this "Madmen in Space" - "Moonraker esque" throwback spot for AXE. We used an amazing set that was originally constructed for the film Space Cowboys and was as close in detail to the real shuttle flight deck as we could get. We scouted Space Camp, Houston and Seattle Museum of Flight before settling on this set and shooting out in LA. We also constructed a one off 1/ 48th scale model shuttle for the opening and end graphics page and picked that up back in ATL. I mean we could have done it in CG but what fun would that have been! The liquid in zero G we photographed clear water over black at 2000fps on Weisscam and comped it back in to the frame giving a way more realistic looking space liquid. One day we will all fly around in pimped out shuttles. Can’t wait!
I had the honor of directing and shooting this hilarious open for the 21st Annual Webby Awards with my homies at Mondial Creative in VA for Crispin Porter Bogusky. It was a blast shooting this thing on a long overnight “lock in style” at a suburban VA skate rink. This thing turned out perfectly strange.
