I’ve just finished a new version of my demo reel. This one focusses on compositing with a little dose of motion graphics. Also updated my resume and wrote out a new cut sheet to accompany the new reel.

Get ‘em here: the Reel, the Resume, and the breakdown.

This weekend I am very pleased because Friday was delivery day on a big piece of work. I’ll post more when Siemens posts the film publicly. But for now, I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I promised my way into a big chunk of work and managed to complete it with the support of a whole bunch of my coworkers at Shooters. Yay us.

2007_10_29 Update: The finished piece has been posted on the Shooters web site. It is accessible by navigating through the menu to Talent|Tim Bowman|Siemens Somatom. The direct link is here.

I recently worked on a little trailer featuring a famous football player and some weird old guy:

“The Power and the Glory” can be viewed at: mcnabbisback.com

A press release from Shooters can be found here.

I was involved in the post for this music video for a cool Finnish band called The 69 Eyes. Bam Margera directed. It was a tasty project to work on and now Shooters has issued a press release about it. Sweet.

I’m very pleased to announce that “Fahrrad Audio A”, a four-channel sound installation created in collaboration with Jessica Singerman, is currently installed at the Hopkins House Gallery. The show is called “Surfacings” and contains work by Donna Czapiga, David Foss, Blake Gibson and Shalya Marsh. Closes January 6, 2007.

The show catalog is here.

[Update] The show was lovely, but it’s over now. I feel lucky that we had the opportunity to have everyone’s stuff up all at once in the same space. Lot’s of people commented that we’re a “really creative family.” I guess we are, but I never thought it was unusual. I just kind of assumed everybody did creative stuff. Everyone wears their own blinders, I guess.

I showed three video pieces. “Three Nights” and “Fortnight” are from my time-lapse photography exploration of sleeping patterns. “You” is a brand-new work (just finished it Sunday morning before the studio opened) which uses a live video camera and monitor at the bottom of a chin-high black paper tube. It was so much fun to watch people’s reactions as they looked in to see themselves in the reverse angle, peeking over the wall, Kilroy-style. There was much giggling. I call it a success.

It was sad to take all the stuff down Friday night. Big thanks to my cousin DJ (aka Dorothy Frey) for having us.

Art Sunday, October 2, 12 – 5 pm
First Friday, October 7, 5 – 9 pm

Dorothy Frey works directly from observation. Her paintings of trees and fields are like mementoes from daily life: experiences, places, times, ideas, and personalities deliberated through form and space found in nature.

Angela Shope is a full-time artist working in porcelain, oils and watercolors. She draws from many influences, from nature to fashion to cell structures. Her whimsical work is a celebration of color and self-expression.

October’s Visiting Artists: Relatives of Dorothy Frey, the Bowman family have a wide range of talents that they bring to the studio this month: Photography, Video, Digital Macro Panoramics, Ceramics, Jewelry, and Sculpture.
