Subaru: 2018 Winter

The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, Outback, and Legacy winter running footage and stills photo shoot was shot over two weeks in various locations around Colorado. We tested the capabilities of the vehicles in various off road and weather conditions. The footage and stills were used in various broadcast spots and print campaigns throughout the winter of 2017 and 2018.

Also this year I produced the next campaign of Subaru brand work, coming soon.

Subaru/REI: '#OptOutside with your Dog'

Subaru and REI partnered to invite dog owners to #OptOutside on Black Friday.

Both brands joined forces to help the dogs who truly need to get outside the most—shelter dogs and NYC dogs. Subaru dispatched a fleet of 30 vehicles to shuttle these shelter dogs and city dogs away from the concrete and up to Bear Mountain State Park where they were free to roam, sniff, drool and explore 5200 acres of awesome nature.

Subaru even made a donation to the ASPCA for every photo that dog lovers posted of their outdoor adventures. (Over 40,000 dogs lovers contributed!)

Fisker: 'Onward'

Fisker Automotive is a eco-luxury electric car company featuring it's sexy flagship vehicle, the Karma. mono was awarded its global campaign to head creative duties. I was asked to help produce two films to define our new vision for Fisker, the "Onward" campaign.

Fisker "Onward"

"Onward" Film:

Fisker tasked mono to help define "Onward" and create their brand film, to be shown online and in dealerships worldwide. With a narrow budget we decided to piece together a mixed media film using found footage and running footage from Fisker's existing library. I helped coordinate Leonardo DiCaprio's voice-over recording schedule in New York, while working with the award winning Elias Arts in Los Angeles to find a music track that subtly builds along with the images. I coordinated with our post-production partner Tallgrass Pictures in San Diego, negotiated the budget, created post calendar, and managed all deliverables. Since all of Fisker's footage was housed in different locations around the US (Method Studios, The Whitehouse Editorial), it took some sleuthing by mono and Tallgrass to track it all down.

Rough Trade Records

With legendary artists on it's label including: The Smiths, The Strokes, and Arcade Fire; Rough Trade asked mono to take their newest signing, Howler, and help promote their new album America Give Up and upcoming SXSW shows in Austin, Texas. mono came up with the idea of creating a website that featured a show called "America Give Up" that hosted over 300 clips of a curmudgeonly old man complaining about current affairs in pop culture, politics, and basically anything on his mind. Channeling local public access flair, we created the set at Volt Studios with an extremely tight budget.

I assisted the production of over 300 clips filmed over 3 days with Directors Jon Nowak and DP Bo Hakala at VOLT studios. I also assisted casting, edited one day of footage, wrote numerous lines/scripts with creatives, coordinated with website developer at mono, transcoded and converted footage before loading to our microsite.

Blue Cross Blue Shield: 'Tomorrow'

mono created a satirical spin on the classic Little Orphan Annie song "Tomorrow", by tongue-in-cheekily playing off of everyday American's vices and their nack for procrastinating about making healthy choices, putting it off until "tomorrow". I was tasked with observing and assiting the Producer during pre-production, the shoot day, and the post-production process to learn the steps of creating a spot for air and web. We filmed in Minneapolis with Scott Vincent of Hungry Man and edited with Stephen Jess of The Whitehouse.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MN: "Brand"

This was the first spot that mono created for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (and subsequently, my first project at mono too). I assited the allocation of “real-life” footage from Vimeo and Youtube (rather than using campy, fake looking stock footage) working with our vendor partner Stalkr, to match the creative's storyboards. UK's Stalkr is a fabulous resource for found footage, they helped on the Mazda "Revolution" spot and Visa Olympic campaign. I also assisted the editor Leander Rappmann and the amazing Director, Matt Checkowski (who worked with Spielberg on Minority Report) from The DDDD with any footage needs while creating the spot. I was tasked to arrange the aeriel shot of Minneapolis at the end of the spot, locating the helicopter, pilot, cinematographer, and rental camera mount worth $200k from TX. Also, I supervised the shot from the airport with our Creative Director on site. In addition, I was on set for the pick-up shots filmed around the Twin Cities. The Television spots aired in MN, and online.

Blue Cross Blue Shield: Anti-Obesity

ANTI-OBESITY FILMS "FAST FOOD" AND "SHOPPING"

I assisted in the production for both anti-obesity films, "Fast Food" and "Shopping". The project was filmed in Toronto with Academy Films Director Amanda Boyle (she also directed Skins, UK version). After the Head Producer oversaw the shoot in Canada, and editiorial in Minneapolis with Shephen Jess of The Whitehouse, I was handed the project to supervise post-production which included sound FX, online edit, and color with CO3 in LA. The spots aired on TV and online in MN, but gained significant national media attention on CNN, the Today show, USA Today, The Atlantic, and Jezebel.

Virgin: Unite

For our client Virgin, mono created DoWhatEverItTakes.org where visitors are asked to "Do Whatever It Takes" to put an end to youth homelessness. People would pledge to do a stunt or embarrassing act if they’re able to raise enough funds to reach a monetary goal they set during the sign up process. If their goal is reached, they must actually make good on their pledge and go through with it – whether that means streaking, wearing underwear on their head for a day or shave their hair into a mullet.

Virgin DoWhatEverItTakes.com Case Study

Working along with the Digital Producer, I assisted the production of Virgin's website DoWhateverItTakes.org. We hired the digital shop Lollipop, a Toronto based developer to create the site based on our designs. The site includes integration with the YouTube API to handle video uploads, Facebook commenting and the PayPal API to handle e-commerce functions. I helped the team create a simple UX map for concepting. I also coordinated the YouTube celebrity talent with creative agency MEKANISM in San Fransisco to post the initial seed profiles, assisted Art Buyer on the photo shoot for our billboards, and searched and secured locations for shoot. Once the site was live I acted as moderator, monitoring the day to day processes of the site, whether it was flagging and taking down inappropriate pages, answering user questions, assisting with the communication with the developer team and in some instances the with the client.

Above is the homepage where each "whatever" would populate once the user created a profile. Users can upload a photo or GIF to their "whatever" page, or create a video explaining their stunt. As each profile is created, older profiles would subsequently drop down towards the bottom of the page.

Blue Cross Blue Shield: Medicare

MEDICARE: "THE JOYS OF AGING" AND "LOOKING FORWARD"

While working with the Producer, I oversaw the five day casting process, working with the mono creatives and Director Matt Checkowski of The DDDD at J&R Casting in Minneapolis. My duties included organizing the creative's talent picks from over two full days of 100 talent call-backs. I also helped the Producer and Business Manager draft talent contracts and conducted background checks. I was on set with team for the full 10 hour shoot, observing and assiting the Producer.

Buffalo Wild Wings: Posts Postgame Report

Buffalo Wild Wings: "Posts Post Game Report"

We asked BWW Twitter followers to tweet about the NFL playoff games with the hashtag #BWWPostGame for the chance to be featured in a series of social videos that are posted to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. 24 hours later we produced a recap video with over 275k views about the weekend's NFL postseason game using fans tweets.

Buffalo Wild Wings: #TweetShirtCannon

The #TweetShirtCannon. It’s a T-shirt cannon but, you know, on Twitter. We encouraged fans to follow @BWWings and tweet at us on select football game days for a chance to score a free shirt, by using #TweetShirtCannon hashtag. Fan engagement was through the roof, with close to 100k total views through Twitter and Facebook in the first month alone. With a small budget I produced the video with our in-house production facility, Periscope Studios.

Salmon Cannon: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

The campaign was so popular, it may even have inspired John Oliver's Salmon Cannon on HBO's Last Week Tonight. NDB, just influencing pop culture. You be the judge (jump to 3:03).
