Do you have the biggest balls of them all? Check out this video Moth to Flame did with bigroundballs.com. During the last month of my time in LA, my life has been take over by a guy named Nic Putnam. He is an incredible filmmaker and now a great friend. I guess you really have to appreciate each other’s company in order to stand working with each other until 4 am for 15 hours straight, 5 to 7 days a week. Nic Putnam is from Fat HamPsters Productions as well as True Colors Productions. When I first figured out he…

It has been a magnificent week. So magnificent that I have not had any time to update my blog. My list of random jobs has increased once again, as I am now an editor for an educational video series, a line producer for “A Guy Walks into a Bar Season 2”. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to meet Cameron Crowe, the director of “Almost Famous”, personally, as well as sit in on his interview with my supervisor.

I had the opportunity to use video transitions and horrible graphics in order to make this video come to life. Carlos killed it. –CC

The second idea “Don’t Eat Trash” was…

I didn’t have a long time to film so I decided to cut together the “best” of first semester business school. Enjoy everyone. –CC

Back in March 2011, Hassan F. Johnson of ThaTrunk partnered up with director, Christine Chen, to create a mini-documentary series to kick off the launch of ThaTrunk.com.
