On to the next ones!

And just like that, we are on to the next one (follow the link for Eli's favorite music video right now). I realized in my latest post I didn't even mention the gala videos!

We did these videos for OMSI back in January of 2011 as part of OMSI's annual fundraising gala. It was amazing. It was Egyptian themed with belly dancers, trapeze artists and a real live camel out in front (watch out, they spit). The event brought out Portland's finest businessmen and women. The food and drinks were amazing and the fundraising portion had the entire crowd split into three groups between the planetarium, the theater, and another area for viewing. Matt Zafino, (KATU's weatherman) was the M.C. These videos played first, and were extremely well received. OMSI was able to raise an incredible amount of money (especially in a recession), and everyone went home happy. Enjoy!

OMSI 2011 Gala Video 2, featuring Dr. Billy Martin from eli shell on Vimeo.

Eli Shell directed both of these with graphics by Jason Windsor, Assistant Directed and cut by Kyle Glenn, shot by Jason Windsor and Anthony Gainer. Music by Andy Combs.

These videos were alot of fun to make and they were well received by all (including Matt Zafino, swoon!). Nancy Steuber is such a pleasure to work with, and Dr. Billy Martin, might be one of the most fun interviewees ever.

So there you go. Oh you want some more? Great. Because we've got more videos! Check back soon for our latest series of commercials!

Back, Baby!!!

Hello!!!

We are back! It's been a long, long while, but we are back!

First order of business: Our newest member! Selena Persiani-Shell, long time collaborator, and esteemed director, is now an official partner. We annointed her in a secret pact involving blood oranges as per our by-laws. It was awesome.

Next! We've made a few things since we last posted on the blog. KG directed a super sweet music video:

Ron Rogers approached us to make him a music video for his fantastic Texas Roadhouse style single "Alabama Chrome". We worked closely with Ron on the aesthetic and story, and KG did a masterful job directing. Watch for cameos from our newest partner!

We also made couple videos for OMSI's original exhibit "Design Zone". Here is the short sales video:

Jason did all the graphics work for this, once again showing his ability to go above and beyond, as per usual.

And here is the longer video:

Eli Shell directed both of these. Produced by and VFX created by Jason Windsor. Production Coordinated by Selena Persiani-Shell, Assistant Directed and cut by Kyle Glenn. Photography by Joe Paulet, music by Andy Combs.

OMSI has been really great to us and allowing us creative freedom in many ways has helped us to achieve our goals of high quality work at a significant savings to the client. It has been a pleasure working with such a wonderful organization.

Plus we've got more! I think I'll save the next batch of videos for the next post. Thanks for tuning in after all these months. More blogs coming soon!!!
