06 Feb Consumer Insights Blog 1: Personas
A good filmmaker is one who knows how to establish a connection with an audience through a story. These stories are driven by the characters, “personas,” that we create. In order to create a believable or relatable character, I often have to recreate an entire character’s life cycle, habits, dreams, goals, even if these characteristics are not portrayed directly in a story, in order to understand how a character would naturally react to the events that happen in his or her life. My latest project involved making a spec commercial that targets Texas moms who would be interested in…
31 Jan Bri Bagwell Music Video Trailer Release
Two days of intense 8-10 hour day shooting, with crew call times of 6:00 am in the morning, and countless hours of editing later… we are proud to finally reveal the trailer for Bri Bagwell’s debut music video produced by ColoredLion.com and Mothtoflamefilms.com and directed by Christine Chen. What an amazing journey to the final product. We had a crew that supported us every day and a very talented artist, Bri Bagwell, to work with. So many people have helped to make this possible. We will be hosting a VIP release party on Feb. 12, 2012 for those who helped…
26 Jan First Look with Bri Bagwell
MothtoFlameFilms.com, Coloredlion.com, BriBagwell.com, and RogerCreager.com… too many .com’s in a room as producer, Daran Herrman pointed out, met together in Christine’s upscale studio (her room that looks suspiciously like a dorm room) on Jan 25, 2012, to see the 1st cut of Bri’s debut music video. The conclusion? Bri loved it. One of the biggest fears of a filmmaker, in my opinion, is waiting on the verdict of a key stakeholder. Though I am confident in my work, it is always hard to judge what the audience expects. Taste and preference are extremely subjective and what appeals to you may not to…
24 Jan 2011 International Night
One of Moth to Flame's favorite McCombs' events is the annual International Night event at UT McCombs. The event was documented by Christine Chen and Praveen Katta. Footage edited by Kelsey Parks. International Night is an event that I look forward to every year as a MBA student at McCombs. It's a beautiful celebration of some of McCombs' student diversity. There is food, dance, and colors. My favorite part is the food, of course. This year, I participated in two of the booths (India and Africa) as a dancer. I figured, when am I going to be able to wear...17 Jan Best of 2011 for Moth to Flame
It is always easy to negate all the accomplishments you have managed to reach, especially when you have an ultimate greater goal in mind. Making this reel was actually a comforting experience because it made me realize how far Moth to Flame has come to be. You may notice that there are a few pieces that are not from 2011, but I have not made an official reel before, so decided to include everything that I felt showcased my journey as a filmmaker. I cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for me. I am already off to…
10 Jan Wellness Ambassador: Lizette Lopez de Arriaga
Health is not just about what you eat. Hear more from celebrity chef, Lizette López de Arriaga! Meeting chef Lizette López de Arriaga was very inspiring. She has a charisma and a positive energy that quite literally radiates from her. I had the honor of documenting one of the events from her Wellness Ambassador Program, a program thats goal is to encourage people of all ages to live healthier lives. Lizette says that health is not just in the choices of foods we eat, but is an overall lifestyle choice that involves how we are doing emotionally as well….
05 Jan Vlog #33: Moth to Flame Going National!
The Clinique video was release nationally on Dec 16, 2011 for the Clinique Happy Campaign. I had seen my video online before and freaked out of course, but nothing could compare to how I felt when I saw for the very first time today (in Memorial City Mall in Houston, Texas), a bit of my commercial being played at the Clinique counters. I geeked out. All of the Clinique ladies wanted to know why I was taking pictures of the TV screen. When I told them “That’s me in the commercial!” they geeked out too. What a great moment.
03 Jan Vlog #32: It’s 2012!
Check out what happened in 2011 and Moth to Flame’s goals for the new year!! Lots of new things in 2012. Many accomplishments in 2011, but we are already looking to do bigger and better things in the new year. If I didn’t mention you, I am sorry! I did this really fast. Off the top of my head, I totally forgot to mention David J Anderson for redesigning the Moth to Flame logo and Shannon Deane who continues to help me clean up my messy sound.
