Location: Las Vegas International Speedway – Las Vegas, Nevada

Event: 2007 World Minis

Role: Created and animated the introduction for the daily video updates from the Vegas World Minis.

The city that never sleeps! Las Vegas could be one of the most beloved, and at the same time, most hated amateur motocross event in the circuit. For 2007, there was great racing, great big sand storms, and less than stellar hotel arrangements (don’t ever book your stay at the Emerald place!). Now that we’ve got that out of the way… Never has my laptop been so red hot as if it were to burst into flames than the two days that I spent in our hotel developing and animating this design. Included in the spot are many of the hotels and the various other places of interest that Las Vegas has to offer. You can spot the MGM Grand, Stratosphere and Hard Rock cafe, all in this introduction. Complete with a little bit of Elvis Presley inspiration and you’ve got something worthy of introducing the 2007 Las Vegas World Minis.

Location: Oak Hill Mx Park – Decatur, Texas

Event: 2007 Oak Hill Amateur National

Role: Created and animated the introduction for the daily video updates from the Oak Hill GNC’s.

Throughout the bumpy, 13+ hour drive to Decatur, Texas, I sat/stood in the back of the 15 foot GK Films box van and designed this comp. Designed entirely in Photoshop; then animated in After Effects. We threw in a little video from each day and called it good. Big thanks goes out to all the Racer X Illustrated crew for posting our videos on Racer X Films, DMXS Radio for always supporting us, and the rest of the Allegiance crew, especially Ricky Krishart. I’d also like to thank my dad, for always supporting me, especially at Oak Hill.
