The Project

To support the publication of her book SNACKS: Adventures in Food Aisle by Aisle, Marcy Smothers and her publisher, Harper Collins, wanted an energetic video that underscored the tone and content of the book.

 

The Story

Because the book is filled with the kind of tips and recipes you get from a great friend, Marcy is filmed at home in her own kitchen to capture her unpretentious enthusiasm and passion for food and cooking.  I added some simple, lively animation using the wonderful artwork commisioned for the book.

The Project

The objective is two-fold.  To communicate with prospective clients via his restaurant consulting company's website and broadcast his credentials and viewpoint on LinkedIn, where he has a  large following as an Influential.

 

The Stories

In one afternoon, we shot a dozen pieces in the dining room of a restaurant, utilizing natural light and an open kitchen as the backdrop.  The ongoing release of stories is being timed with Mr. Wolf's LinkenIn influentials opinions pieces.

The Project

This seven acre garden sanctuary and artisan estate was designed by world renowned architect Chrisopher Alexander with impressive detail:  passive solar, recycled and sustainable materials, extensive permaculture landscaping.

 

The Story

Shot over three days to capture the property at optimum light, I worked with the listing agents and owners to  research and portray the full range of detail and magic.  I created a triptych motion graphic that allowed me to present related elements both quickly and cinematically.

The Project

Clark Wolf and Marcy Smothers are teaming up to create and host a new radio show to pitch for regional terrestrial broadcast and national syndication.

 

The Story

In order to capture the their individual charisma and chemistry together, we shot a three camera demo of a two hour show at the Kendall Jackson Wine Center with the new demonstration kitchen as the backdrop. I edited the footage down to four tight segment highlights with behind the scenes snippets as transitional elements.  I did some simple animation of the show graphic I created to mirror the energy of the background music.

The Project

A series of recipe demonstration videos for the California Walnut Board, featuring Rebecca Katz, author of The Cancer Fighting Kitchen.

 

The Stories

These meticulous cooking demonstrations were  prepped over several weeks and shot in one day on a fully functional broadcast kitchen set.

 

There was a full house, with agency reps, food sylists, prep assistants, camera crew, lighting crew and more.  We shot each recipe fully twice and a tight three minute edit of each was produced.
