Filmsupply Editing Challenge
alone from Andy Matthias on Vimeo.
Filmsupply is a stock footage website that puts on an editing challenge every year. The challenge is that you must create an edit using up to 40 clips from their entire library. I came up with the idea for a sci-fi psychological thriller of being alone and trapped in outer space.
Adobe Make the Cut Editing Contest
A while back I came across a music video editing contest put on by Adobe with the band Imagine Dragons. My biggest hurdle, other than never having edited a music video before, was that the deadline was in less than 48 hours. I thought why not give it a shot. So I downloaded all the footage and put this together in about 24 hours.
Sun Budder Ad
I was contracted to write, film, and edit a short ad for Oil Me North‘s Sun Budder product. With my expertise mainly being in post production, I took on the challenge of also filming and utilizing unique shots. Check out the blog section to see my behind the scenes of getting the shots I wanted.
Offering mainly post production services I don’t really have a lot of shooting equipment aside from a basic camera setup. So when an opportunity comes up to get a little creative with shots, I will typically take on the challenge. This was one of those situations. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but just needed to figure out what I already had to use at home to make the shot work. A good cruiser skateboard and a smooth plank of wood will always make an impromptu dolly.
The Escape Effect Game Intro
I was contracted to take existing assets (images & VO) and, utilizing After Effects, to create an animated introduction to the interactive Sherlock room for The Escape Effect, in Orlando, FL.
WiseTribe.US

Real Estate Color Grade
I did a grading project for a real estate client. The footage was shot as RAW DNG image sequences on a Canon 5D. My initial thought was, “Great! just import the sequences natively into DaVinci Resolve and do everything right there!” No matter what I tried, I still felt like something was off, I wasn’t getting the results that I wanted. The initial video was really dark (as you can see in the video attached), so that might have had something to do with it. What I needed was a well balanced starting point, then give it the mood. What I found worked really good, and seemed to have a ton of control over the image, was importing the sequences into After Effects first. That way I could pre-grade in the Adobe RAW adjustment panel to give me the balanced starting point I wanted. I then exported them back out, brought them into Resolve for the final grading pass.
Here is the video, showing the original clip and final result.
