Southwest Airlines “Get There”



Always wanted to jump a car. Finally did. We took bets on how far it would fly, so the second the shot was over everybody ran in to check their tape on the curb. Nobody cared if the stunt driver was okay.

Did this with Bryan Pudder at GSD&M.

The National – Weird Al Poster



Adam Stockton was doing a bunch of amazing posters for The National, a sweet live music venue in Richmond. I concepted this one with him. Seemed appropriate for Weird Al to do a parody/homage/rip-off of another famous poster.

Walmart Modern Warfare 2 “Find Inspiration”



To build the hype leading up to the game's release, we created 11 online videos featuring our two trash-talking guys from the TV spots. We see them at work, on the phone with each other, keeping the smack talk going.

Walmart Madden “Got It Faster”



This was the first spot in the series, but I'm just now posting it. The project started out as just a :30, but on set the client mentioned that they needed something to run on the Jumbotron at Maddenpalooza. Let the improvisation begin.

Made this with Adam Stockton and Joe Alexander.

Lego “Bottle”



John Szalay and I entered this MOFILM contest, and we got first place for Lego, and 3rd overall. We won a trip to Cannes, which John took, but I had a previously planned family vacation. That was a tough one. By the way, the star of the film is my son, Jack.

Walmart Halo: Reach “Camping”



We continued our Smack Talk TV campaign without TV. This time, it's online only. And this time, you can choose your own adventure. Good idea, Mr. Adam Stockton.

Walmart Modern Warfare 2 “Playing It”



We did a sequel to our Madden spot from the previous year – same two guys, still trash-talking about video games, all wrapped up with the idea that Walmart is "the fastest way to play." Here's the extended version we ran online.

Adam Stockton was the art director on this one, too.

Walmart “SmartBook”



Developed this website concept with Mark Billows and John Weber. Probably impossible to see in this tiny video window. Really cool idea, providing some great services for Mom online.

Hanes “For Future Generations”



Hanes is working to do more and more to help the planet - using recycled materials, renewable energy, etc. So if you wear Hanes, future generations would probably appreciate it. And if you don't…

Justin Harris, the art director, played hurt on this one. Went to the ER the morning of the shoot, came back an hour later.
