Re-Election is the story of an election day stuck in a time loop. It is a story about conviction, the acquisition of experience, and how we learn from our mistakes as well as our successes.
Let's begin with episode four. The whole series is on Vimeo. Watch now.
We wrote and shot the first episode as a pilot and then ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund a further five episodes. You can see production stills and get more information about the show on Re-Election's facebook page.
Because of the amulet, he had what he always wanted: strength, freedom, protection... But it also gave him something he never asked for: eternal life.
This film is somewhat of a sequel to a tiny video I shot a few years prior called The Amulet. White Elephant shot in Chicago in the spring of 2012 with a skeleton crew. I built the gun prop myself and did all the VFX with a mixture of After Effects and 3D Studio MAX.
The original score was was composed by Bryan Gleason. P.K. Hooker created the sound design.
Throughout the production process, I posted effects tests and some rehearsal footage. These included an initial effect for the gun (improved later) and a rough test of the hand hologram. Checkout the facebook page for more. White Elephant was screened at the Los Angeles International Underground Festival in the summer of 2012.
A bunch of other stuff I've made. Some of it is funny.
