2006
Art Institute Commercials

This is a series of three commercials that I wrote, directed and edited while attending the Art Institute of Portland.

The focus of the spots was to encourage Portland area high school students to attend art school, particularly the Art Institute of Portland, after graduation.

All three spots were shot at Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon and feature students from the school's theater department. The schoolmistress was provided by our friends at Ryan Artists.

The animated overlays were created in Flash and composited over the live action in After Effects.

This was a fun school project that gave us an opportunity to spend a morning running around a high school and everyone had a great time on the shoot.

The Art Institute used the spots in their marketing materials and briefly ran them on local television.
