Ross and I have released our first full Moongold album which is free for download. Thank you so much to everyone who helped with the album; it sounds excellent.
Resolume and Flash
This is a recording of my show at the Meadowlark in April 2010. The music is all from my various music projects.
Resolume and Flash
I did visuals for a show by my friends Josh and Mike of Future Global Society. I converted some of the footage to music videos for them which you can view on my vimeo account.

I made this music video by photocopying myself and a friend of mine. I can't remember how much money it cost, but I did it over a couple days and several angry photocopier users. I'm sure I also used all of the ink in the copier.

This was my first Processing and first OpenGL project. I made it for part of my live audio set. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to render it in real time for my shows if I want to mix it with other video clips, so I render the animation to video and then work with it in Resolume.

I made this video because Dianne wanted to prove that Beatport is the coolest company to work for in America. Dianne, Mike and I came up with the story and everyone around the office pitched in to help make it come together.
Adobe Premier
Moongold is one of my music projects. You can download a bunch of awesome free music.
Cubase, Reason, Logic
Beatport sells dance music online. We call it "iTunes for DJs." I helped develop the Beatport website as the lead Flash developer. Moving to Beatport was a hard move for me because it meant giving up on ManiaTV! and leaving behind some of my best friends.
Flash and PHP
One of the few projects at ManiaTV! that I was really happy with was this photo shoot we did for a set of promotional postcards. Each postcard presented one of our anchors representing the theme for one of their shows. I directed the shoot. I wish I could find the URL for the photographer because he did an amazing job.
Silly ideas
These are just some miscellaneous projects from my time at ManiaTV!. I ended up doing a lot more Flash and AJAX development at Mania than creative direction (which was my title). I ended up hiring my friend Chris of changethethought.com to replace me on the creative end of things.
Illustrator and Photoshop
I helped Drew Massey start ManiaTV! in 2004. I'd actually been working with him off and on for two years before that. ManiaTV! is a live Internet television network. The goal was to be the MTV of the new millennium. I worked as Creative Director there.
XHTML and Flash
I was just messing around and created this short promotional animation for myself.
Flash
I comped this interactive training cdRom for Mc Donalds to increase the efficiency and productivity of their drive thrus. It was also made to be distributed in 7 languages to Mc Donalds restaurants around the world. Unfortunately, I left Xylem before development on the project started.
Flash
I made this invite for my best friends from college Kara Roux and Ben Wilkoff.
Flash
I really enjoyed working on this television spot because I finally got the chance to do the sound design. Xylem had bought a sound booth and Jeremy left a guitar in the office. I put the two together to create the radical shred you hear in this 5 second TV spot.
Flash
This was one of the few video projects I ever did at Xylem. We were under a crunch to finish a group of 5 and 15 second television commercials for Chipotle and I got the chance to help out with a couple.
Flash
I rebranded a version of the Chipotle desktop alarm clock for a pitch to Mini Cooper. I'm not sure if it was ever used, but I believe Xylem ended up doing some work for Mini Cooper.
Flash
I created this website while at Xylem. Miniat is a Chicago based meat preparation company who supplies meats for Chipotle, among many others. The design was done by Jim Darling.
Flash
The best part of being at Xylem was getting to work on the Chopotle emails. After working on Chipotle DSL for so long, I was really happy to take on the stampede email. It's also the only legitimate use of the browser shake functionality in existence, IMHO.
Flash
This update the Chipotle Alarm Clock reminds you to please eat responsibly. You can drink however you like.
Flash
This update the Chipotle Alarm Clock shows you how to make a burrito martini. Sound design as always was done by Jeremy Irwin.
Flash
I built Chipotle DSL (Don't Stand in Line) while working at Xylem. I left Xylem before the site launched and several other people worked on it before it's public debut. Unfortunately, the flash version of the site is no longer online.
Flash
This is my favorite piece from my days at Xylem. The couple days I spent on this just flew by. Ross Maupin made the really cool Boo-Rito title text.
Flash
This promotional email advertised Chipotle's store opening in Orlando, Florida. The sound design for this was really fun. The owner of Xylem, Jeremy Irwin, was responsible for all of our sound design at the time. Ross and I would've killed to have that responsibility.
Flash
I made this CD cover for a friend of mine in Houston who was playing under the moniker of DJ Grey.

This was definitely my favorite of the animations we made for the Chipotle Alarm Clock. This one came bundled with the clock, so if you didn't have an Internet connection, you would still get to see this and the "Ants" aniamtion.
Flash
This was another of the animations that came bundled with the Chipotle Alarm Clock. I had a lot of fun working on all of the animations for this project.
Flash
This was one of the first animations we made for the Chipotle Alarm Clock. When your alarm goes off, several little Chipotle workers steal your burrito. This was my first green screen shoot and after effects work.
Flash
While at Xylem, I created this desktop alarm clock for Chipotle. The really cool thing about the clock was that it allowed Chipotle to upload new animations to run when the alarm went of. I built a number of different animations for the clock.
Flash
This was the first data driven website I had ever created. At the time I hadn't heard of XML so the data was all formated in pipe deliniated strings; yikkes! All the hardwork payed off though because I learned an immense amount and won a Macromedia site of the day.
Flash
This promotional email took me forever. Trying to make the hair look like it was somewhat affixed to the burrito's head took about a week of frame by frame tweaking. This really stressed me out at the time because I was still pretty new to Xylem.
Flash
This was another banner I made for the Red Robin website promoting their Guac Burger.
Flash
This was a banner for the Red Robin website promoting their eClub. I was still new at Xylem and getting the chance to make animations like this was still magical to me. I couldn't believe I was being payed to do this.
Flash
The first project I worked on at Xylem was to create a touch screen kiosk for Jeppesen, the worlds leading maker of arounautical maps. I don't remember the name of the designer who comped this project.
Flash
This is a suicide print I made while at DU. A suicide print is a wood cut that is printed, cut further, and then printed again. In this way you can never reprint the first print. This print was used on the cover of that year's Foothills literary magazine.
Woodcut
I made this painting of a girlfriend while I was in France. I liked the under painting for the original so much that I decided to make a second version of just the under painting.
