The Day Job Update

Well … I think it’s been quite a while since I’ve talked about what I’ve been doing at my day job. I don’t know where the time goes? Anyway, lately I’ve been working on an internal project handed down from the head honcho in charge. It’s a video for our website explaining our call center and somehow he related a 1957 Kentucky Derby Race to our call center. I know … it sounds like quite a stretch! But after a little bit, it gets to the point.

So for this video, the talent was shot on green screen, then taken into After Effects to key out and add graphics and camera moves. Sound effects and music will be added later. Below is the introduction explaining the horse race/call center correlation …

(There was a video here showcasing the work, but my current company now doesn’t want me showcasing the work on YouTube, so it has been taken down - you may still view it on my personal portfolio site)

I only put up the intro as it’s the most interesting and the part I had the most fun making in this 7 1/2 minute video about a call center … yeah, not very exciting stuff.

If you ever need old archive footage as was used in this video, check out http://www.archive.org/. There is tons of great stuff on there!

Next up at the old day job are a couple of cool animation based commercials, one a stick figure style animation and the other a comic book style animation. Look for posts about those in the coming weeks.
