Snowy Day in Millvale

Переглядів 2217 років тому

A nice peaceful mood piece about snow, slow-motion, and transportation.... Shot this about a year ago - I looked outside and saw the ridiculously large snowflakes (snowclumps?) coming down, and ran outside with my camera. Shot on Ursa Mini 4.6K with Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 Edited in Final Cut Pro X, graded in DaVinci Resolve. Music by Artlist: artlist.io/Michael-35742

2017 Total Solar Eclipse Vlog!

Переглядів 8387 років тому

On August 21st, 2017, I headed down to Tennessee with my dad and my brother to see the first total solar eclipse over the continental United States since 1979. And of course, I brought several cameras, including my Ursa Mini. This is what happened! It took me a bit longer to get this up than I would have liked, and as you can see, we ran into some interesting challenges, but I'm really happy wi...

I saw a video making the rounds on the internet, and felt an urgent need to do this... Original video by Nick Colvin: ua-cam.com/video/V-Cb9x70gYQ/v-deo.html Music: "Dream is Collapsing" by Hans Zimmer, Inception Soundtrack This video is intended as a work of Parody, under the fair use provisions of U.S. copyright law. It is not monetized by me, but may have ads put on it by Warner Music, for u...

VFX Demo Reel 2014

Finally updated my demo reel! There are a couple particularly nice shots that carried over from before, but the majority of the work shown here was done over the course of the last year, either for my UA-cam shorts here on the HanleyFilms channel, or for my work on Gaff Tape and a Prayer in two 48-Hour Film Project entries.

Someone tries to steal Bill's WiiU! There's really only one way to stop such a devious thief... Starring Bill Lyon as our hero, and Mac Purvis III as the thief. This is the first project in a loooong time I've tried to use any kind of 3D rendering, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! (go Lightwave!)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Lens Flare Teaser

Переглядів 1,7 тис.10 років тому

I loved the first teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode VII, but I've been told that it lacked a certain... quality common to the rest of J.J. Abrams' filmography. So... I made this! (I've since found another "lens flare" trailer on UA-cam, that went a bit more hog-wild with things. So I guess mine is the "realistic" version of "unrealistic lens flares"?)

The Diablo III Collector's edition came with some pretty awesome perks. But one should always treat such items with the proper respect.... Special thanks to my Bill Lyon for starring in this video... several times! Check out his channel at ua-cam.com/channels/ghOjNaj_QcVJqps4Gb5krw.html This one was an interesting mix of themes. As Bill and I were shooting it, I loved some of the things he impr...

Peepsplosion

Переглядів 27610 років тому

Just a quick cautionary tale I tossed together for Easter... OK, so I wasn't planning on making another video quite so soon, but when I saw that giant stuffed Peep in a store, the idea pretty much leapt into my head fully-formed, and I *had* to make it. Granted, it's not like it was a very complex idea. Which is good, since the holiday offered a pretty short deadline...

Foam Dart Shootout

Переглядів 45810 років тому

Christine encounters an unusual foe she must defeat using only a toy foam dart gun. For such a short video, this one has been a surprisingly long time coming! Lots of rotoscoping and tracking... Look for more videos like this in the future! I'd also Iike to upload some "making-of" type videos, so if there's some effects in here that you'd like to see how I did, let me know in the comments!

T.O - Three Trips to Toronto

Переглядів 8911 років тому

Pronounced "T-dot-O" ;-) This is a montage video I made from the three trips I took to Toronto, Canada over the last few years, set to one of the many amazing tracks by Approaching Nirvana. The footage is a mixture of my Canon T2i, as well as an iPhone 4S and 5S. On two of the visits, I tried my hand at shooting some "hyperlapse" sequences, which I think turned out pretty well! (I'm particularl...

Project Gravity

I made this in 2009 as my final, individual project for my Visual Effects and Animation class during my senior year at Syracuse University. We were only required to produce a 30-second animation, but I felt like making a whole short! Intended as a lighthearted, parodic homage to the Back to The Future series of films, this movie allowed me to try out a lot of the techniques I had learned thus f...

Remember The Chase

I made this film during the first half of my sophomore year at Syracuse University, while I was still in the Film program in SU's college of Visual and Performing Arts. It's the first project I've done on actual celluloid. It also just might be the "artsiest" movie I've ever made... some people still don't quite "get" the ending, though if you read further down I've put an explanation here. Bel...
