 | This video open is composed of 
                  footage of various transportation vehicles, ground, air, and 
                  water. The top and bottom dark bands were used to fill letterbox 
                  footage (HDTV aspect) that preceded the open to bring continuity 
                  to the whole sequence. |  |

 These two clips are similar treatment for two different titles. 
                  The client dropped the first title and went with the second 
                  title. The choice of font in the second clip is similar to the 
                  print material.

                | NOAA TRT 00:16.16
 Client: Portfolio Productions, Michael 
                  Vaughan
 Storyboard: Pat Perry-Burgess
 | The first two map sequences, 
                  the zoom into the earth and the flyover, were provided by NOAA. 
                  The challenge was to make these two very digital looking and 
                  slightly jerky sequences fit with the beautiful nature footage 
                  that followed. Using various effects I softened the mapsand 
                  added clouds. The satellite that quickly flies through is from 
                  a 3D model that NOAA provided and to which I applied texture 
                  and then animated. |  |  |

 | "Imagine" tells the 
                  story of a fictitious woman who aims to achieve big things. 
                  SEIU hopes to energize its members by encouraging them to have

 | This is one of five graphically 
                  and conceptually identical ad for Litton/PRC to attract people 
                  to a career in technology. The words selected are fun and catchy, 
                  and the movement of the words reflect the meaning. |  |  |

                  Vaughan
 | The background and the text "FBI, 
                  America's finest" were taken from another product for this 
                  opening sequence. This version needed more movement and the 
                  text "Special Agent" added to it. |  |  |

          | Compositing |   
          | Layers of images, video, music 
              and sound effects flowing into each other or flashing across the 
              screen, all synced into one seamless dance, will grab your attention, 
              focus the topic or energize the audience.  | Compositing allows the artist to 
            work in four dimensions to create motion and depth in what might otherwise 
            be mundane graphic screens. Camera imagery, drawn elements and software 
            magic combine to produce a finished result that is more than the sum 
            of its parts. Compositing can complement or replace animation in a 
            video clip, usually saving on production costs. | Above are several approaches to compositing 
            using differing numbers of layers in a variety of videos that were 
            all meant to inspire people. |  |
