Liberating Oklahoma Video Production

My friend's libertarian think tank, Liberty Minded, needed a high quality video to introduce and promote the group. I had a very tight window to put this project together. We had talked about doing something before, but schedules never were able to match up. In March of 2012, Ron Paul was having a rally at the Oklahoma State Capital and many of the members of the group were going to be there. I found out a day before and moved heaven and earth to get the project together.

I was lucky to get a slider for some great shots with the capital dome behind our subjects. Our other big challenge besides time was trying to record audio with a live rally happening feet away on a windy day. All-in-all, everything came together nicely and feel the piece really shines.

Crafting a bright, optimistic look for this piece was a priority. A few of the screen shots from color grading are below:

My 2012 demo reel. Cut in FCP X with an assist from FCP 7 & Magic Bullet Looks 2.0. There was a great step forward in my professional work that I'm pleased with. I also experimented with split screens and split screen transitions that I eventually started to apply to other work. Overall, 2012 was a great year. I did a lot of work for Grapevine Media and a fair amount of stuff on my own. I really think my skills and abilities increased over the course of the year and gave me the confidence that I had, in fact, chosen the right career. Project included:
