My number one passion is cinema. I have been writing, directing, and producing independent films and media for years.

In addition to my indie film pursuits, I have created commercials, music videos, corporate promotional videos, edited TV, designed motion graphics and branding, developed podcasts, you name it I've done it!

Below are trailers, commercials, video clips, etc. of a few of the projects I've done.

PIG OINKER MUSIC VIDEO
(category: entertainment)

Rock out to my newest creation, "Pig Oinker"! This bizarre original song and subsequent music video was written, produced, directed, animated, and edited by yours truly, Gabe Classic. Combining a catchy dirty-trance hook with a bouncy electro grounding, this crazy song is a little bit retro and a lot bit strange. But it's meant to be fun, so partake of it's colorful retina-burning mania with enthusiasm! The MP3 can be downloaded here free of charge and there's a nice selection of official Pig Oinker Merch to keep the dance party going! (Caution: Explicit Lyrics)

REEL PRODUCTIONS
(category: business)

Reel Productions, having recently updated their logo and changed their look, needed a sleek new branding animation. They came to me for the update, asking that it be both modern and timeless simultaneously. I created this high definition animation in 1080p for them and they loved the results.

BACKSTREET BOYS PARODY
(category: entertainment)

In response to a devastating personal betrayal, I wrote, directed, shot, performed, and edited this hilarious parody of the Backstreet Boys song "Incomplete" as a humorous expression of pain and frustration. A favorite of many across the net, I consider it a work of hilarious art. This video will have you rolling with laughter AND singing along! Ladies and gentlemen, I present the N'Street Guys, with their hit single "You're Crazy"! This IS a parody, so if you haven't seen the original, you can find it here.

EXPLORATION FILMS TELEVISION
(category: business)

Exploration Films commissioned me to edit and animate many pieces of media for them, including pieces for their TV show "Exploration Films Television", EF Podcasts, and other properties they hold the rights to. Included in this clip is the intro I created for "Exploration Films Television", followed by an animation that was used to announce what was coming up next in the show. The third clip is an animation that I created for their distribution wing, using an existing still image that they were using at the time.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ALLIED TRADES ASSOCIATION
(category: business)

When the Northern California Allied Trades Association wanted an eye-catching promotional video to bring awareness and understanding to the services they provide, they came to me to make it happen. As writer/director/producer for the project, I brought all the pieces together and created a sleek, quick-moving, and informative design that moves viewers seamlessly from one set of information to the next.

THE FINGER, TRAILER
(category: entertainment) |Official Page|

"The Finger" is a short film that I wrote, directed, and animated in 2004. It has been shown at film festivals across North America and was nominated for best of show at the 2006 Damah Film Festival in Culver City, CA. The film has been described as "Powerful", "Haunting", and "Disturbing" by festival goers. View the film's trailer, or visit the film's Official Page.

BROKEN POETRY
(category: entertainment) |Official "Broken" Page|

A Poetic Chronicle of a Broken Heart, I wrote the book, "BROKEN: Volume 1", over a period of 18 months. Featuring dark poetry, unique drawings, and vivid word imagery, "Broken" taps deep into emotions that are difficult to face. This video features a poem from the book, read aloud, animated, and set to original music, which I co-wrote with my old rock band, Dying Blynd. The book is available for purchase here.

BARBARY COAST CONSULTING
(category: business)

Barbary Coast Consulting, in San Francisco, CA, wanted a streaming marketing video for their web site, to give potential clients an overview of the fantastic services they provide. Upon meeting with me, we put together a plan of action which would bring their vision to life. Capturing energetic footage of their team doing what it does best through-out the city, I provided multiple motion graphics possibilities from which they were able to choose their favorite, resulting in a piece which blended corporate professionalism and casual approachability that was both informative and friendly.

SPRINGS SALSA COMMERCIAL
(category: business)

This is a commercial I made for Springs Salsa, a dance and fitness studio in Colorado Springs, CO. They asked for a "hype trailer" that would exhibit dance energy and draw people to the studio. I animated the different graphical logos along with shooting and editing this piece.

LIGHT ON THE HILL, INTRO
(category: business)

The news webcast, "Light on the Hill", needed a ten second opening title sequence. The producer asked me to animate the intro along with other motion graphics elements within the show. I took on the project and animated the various elements in Adobe After Effects.

(category: business)

This is a demo teaching sequence from "Backyard Drills", called "The Coaching Sandwich". The DVD series features fathers and their children learning sports from experienced coaches and enhancing their relationships. The DVD's producer asked me to animate and edit various sequences in the show.
