Mixed Message is an award-winning short film set in San Diego, California. It chronicles the life of a graphic designer with ADHD and a deep distaste for his job in the advertising industry.
While serving as First Assistant Director and Stills Photographer on set, a pair of promotional stop-motion reels were created that evoke the essence of the two main characters. The website is built in Flash and utilizes full-browser imagery with a series of randomly loading backgrounds that display a fresh appearance on each visit.
The Biodiesel Diaries is a projectby Carlos Herrera and documentary filmmaker Majo Calderon. Using an SUV modified to run on waste vegetable oil, they traveled from Oakland, California to Santiago Chile in 6 months. Along the way, they met with various grassroots organizations, created documentaries highlighting social and environmental prosperity, and built an online network to connect their students in Oakland to the youth in Latin America.
The introduction film was produced using various images and video clips created on the trip. The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform to facilitate the sharing of Carlos and Majo's work, with an integrated blog that they continuously updated as a travel journal.
