Let go and take control..."

Below you will find a view music videos, as well as the some commercial spots I have done.
"BETTER THAN"
(Official Music Video)
My first attempt at stop-motion animation. This video is the second track on my second album titled Autopilot Disengaged. This solo video was created intermittently over a span of 10 months, after sitting on the idea for two years. Shot on an iPhone 6+, with some behind the scenes shot with a GoPro, animated in Adobe Premiere.
"Skeleton Key"
(Official Music Video)
Skeleton Key, a track off the album Autopilot Disengaged by Craig Kotfas. Working alone and with only a demo of the song, I shot this a few years back, in one night with a flip camera and a borrowed projector. The cardboard ACL stage was created a few nights before. The footage was then edited together by my brother Chris. The video was shelved for a couple years until the album was complete and released.

My friend Jason Vines, a great special effects/makeup artist was planing to do his 3rd annual BLOODY BALLOON BATTLE. It was his biggest yet, consisting of over 5K balloons hand-filled with a home made recipe of fake blood. This event is where the Austin Improv Community gathers together in a public park in Austin, wearing white and smiles. I called and asked if I could piggyback his event by making a music video, and he graciously agreed. I selected a song from my album Autopilot Disengaged and went to work. I knew I had only one take to do this, so I choose the song SHADOW YOU CAST and sped it up 200%. With help of several friends with cameras, we set up 6 or 7 angles and pushed record. I wore earbuds which played the sped up song and played along. I slowed the footage 50% in post to sync things up. We had one take that lasted about 4:30 minutes... We were soaked to the bone with joy.

"CRASH BANG COLLIDE BOOM"
(Official Music Video)
From the album "Autopilot Disengaged", this was shot in the wee hours of a May Saturday, that featured a pleasant thunderstorm. Shot on a flipcamera in one take from beyond my garage.
​
"Either Aura"
(Official Music Video)
Old classic video, when I first experimented with projectors. Shot in one take, who can see how I get a handle on the concept. By the third verse, I better understand at what length the mouth should open. It was a test, that stuck around.
Karbach Hopadillo
“We Created a Monster”
Award winning commercial from Guerilla Suit/Ariel Quintans, where I got to play a detective tracking down one delicious monster.
"Untrained Spy" - Hydrive Energy Drink
​
These three are a campaign for HYDRIVE Energy Water. Along with the great David Lee Hess, I got to play the THE UNTRAINED SPY. These were fun and created by the very talented folks at BeefandSage.com.
​
"DOODLE JUMP" for Xbox Kinect
Another Beef and Sage production.
We had to pick up the popcorn over and over and over.
"Vacation Intervention"
by HOMEAWAY
​
Fun spot, shot with a great cast and crew. I got to drive around a quiet neighborhood for several hours in a disguise... no doubt raising suspicion among the neighbors.
