Storytelling comes in many forms. While we’re all about the written prose, sometimes these can translate into images and stories that take on a visual life of their own. Here are a few examples of what we’re currently exploring.

Below are works by our media person, William Lutes, who is proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop, AfterEffects). Here are some samples for you to view – a few from his academic days in College Multimedia Studies. He is available for commission/contract work.

FOREST TWITCHERY - Filmed in Hi-8 digital in my backyard looking into the oak forest. I had to time the special effect with the wind gust that blew into the frame. Compiled in After Effects then migrated to Premiere for final output and titles. Class assignment for my Multimedia studies at the College of Marin.
FRINGE OPENING CREDIT - Final assignment in my Multimedia studies - was only graded on the credits portion - the edit into the ep was just to demonstrate how it could be incorporated into a final cut - previz sort of approach.
