This is the classic Hypergeneric demo reel. I am posting this video for historical reasons, and just because I am coming to realize I don't have the patience to do this kind of stuff anymore anyhow.
This video was actually the 1 minute trailer to the Flash Film Festival in Amsterdam in 2001. I was a finalist in the "Art" category. I didn't win of course -- always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
Oddly enough, the motion graphics in this piece came out way cooler than they were originally on the site, which is why I think it's successful.
Chef Celia is my mom. So, if you are from the PGMA (Phoenix Greater Metropolitan Area) or the surrounding southwestern USA, and if you are familiar with Bashas' supermarkets, well, yeah -- that's her.
Anyways, i helped her submit an entry to the Food Network's whatever-their-reality-tv-show-is-called. It's a 3 minute video with Chef Celia rippin' it up in the kitchen. Chef Celia's superstardom is only clouded by a brief cameo appearance of Laura Alzubi from the equally famous I Do Bliss Invitations. Enjoy.
My son Matthew and my grandfather Alberto are hilarious. Neither speaks English, and I think it's safe to say they are culturally incompatible and have generational gaps to spare. However, I think it's also apparent they speak the same language and love one another.
Who would have thought spinning a rubber ducky would be so much fun? I guess these 2 old guys. Enjoy the video.
