The ongoing adventures of a D.C. transplant living in L.A. experimenting with public acts of narcissism

Spec Work

So I’ve decided that before I publish anything on my portfolio site, I’m going to start putting the work I’m doing up here on TCMMT first to give you guys a first look.

Below is a spec piece commissioned by the Online Poster Printing company headquartered in Los Angeles. I met them through my friend Sam (who is employed there) and OPP is looking to create a series of videos explaining all sorts of things regarding their products, processes, etc. They’ve been through a couple artists already, but they weren’t successful in finding something they liked, so they commissioned me to take a shot at it with one piece. Their commission also included a logo treatment (seen at the begining of the video) to be used throughout their video campaign (if my spot was selected). The catch was that I only had about 12 hours to put it all together.

That’s what I came up with. I spoke with them on the phone after they viewed it and apparently they really liked the direction I took with the piece. I’m going to be meeting with them sometime next week to discuss me doing the entire campaign. I know it’s not the most exciting subject matter in the world, but I actually enjoy the challenge of making something as mundane as photo printing to be visually informative AND interesting.
