Lighting Test (2:30)
We threw this clip together to test our DV lighting skills. As you will see, much of it is blown out (too much light). We also played around with some titling at the beginning for fun. Magic Bullet was used to create more of a "film look". Music is by Tim Young.

Eat Smoke (00:23)
This was a test we did using Adobe After Effects. We filmed the actor (David Concannon) separately and then spliced the two shots together with After Effects.

Bat Hit (00:34)
The person with the bat and the person who appears to be hit were shot separately and then spliced together with After Effects. The sound effect is from the sound of a bat hitting a pillow mixed with the sound of a bat hitting a book.

Pets (03:58)
This short was written by Dave Concannon. The primary objective of this one was to complete something from start to finish. The "old film" look is a Matrox effect. Editing was done on a PC with Adobe Premiere Pro. This is a longer clip and may take some time to download. No living goldfish were harmed in making this. Starring David Concannon.

Late (03:16)
This short was shot at a week long film camp hosted by Tim Young. The goal of this project was to shoot an entire short in one day. It took us around 8 hours. This one is over three minutes long and might take a little while to download.
