Thought I'd get on here and show you what I've been wasting my time on lately..haha..I recently purchased a green screen background and have been experimenting with it for video and photo applications, kind of just a novelty thing for now, but would like to use it professionaly as I get the technique down!!
Here are a few samples that I shot and keyed out in photoshop:
Here's a video sample too:
stay tuned for more green screen craziness! ~brendan
Here's a highlight of the Mize and the Drive performance Live at Vinyl ATL, GA 08.07.2010. Had a great time hangin with these guys, filming and boozing!
Newly revamped pureform media logo animation. I took the layers from my logo in photoshop and brought them into Motion 4 so I could animate in 3D space...
I offer this as a service, so if ya need your logo ANIMATED! give me a shout.
I had the pleasure of filming my college roommate's (Brent Macy) wedding ceremony in Atlanta this July. The wedding was a blast; his new bride is awesome and I wish them the best of luck and happiness!!

Really been slackin' on the blog duties lately..haha, but as many of you may know, I've had a pretty rough go so far this year. For starters my house was robbed back in March with my computer, video camera and plenty of other gear and personal items being stolen in the process. Needless to say, recovering from that trauma to my life and business has been a very daunting task, but through help from friends and family I was able to maintain a positive outlook and I am now pleased to say that I am back with a vengeance..haha.
Have made plenty of upgrades gear-wise and finally have my setup back in order. I'm redesigning my website and have basically re-branded pureform media as a whole, so I guess good things have come out of this awful experience in terms of a new beginning. The calendar has been filling up with gigs booked and I have been sending out resumes left and right as well with a few promising full time job leads.
Well anyways, it feels good to be back in the game and I am really stoked to be up and running again. During the dormant period, I had really been concentrating on still photography (my DSLR camera was one thing that didn't get stolen:)). I've learned so many cool new techniques over the past months and have gotten into strobist shooting as well. I'm currently booking events and will shoot anything from fly-on-the-wall style pics to posed portraits. So if you're interested in getting something shot, drop me an email brendan@pureformmedia.com. Very reasonable rates, professional pics, quick workflow and turnaround! keep up with me on flickr
Been slackin on the blog for a while again..ya know, holidaze and all that jazz. It's a brand new year and I'm gonna be dedicating plenty of life to keepin the dream alive haha..by this I mean gaining new clients, networking like a mofo, upgrading the gear, undergoing some more advanced training..all in all making this media thing a full time livelihood. I've been convinced for years now that being a lifer at a desk job is definitely not what I was put on earth to do, and although it has been paying the bills, it is depressing and there is so much more out there for me to pursue. I've been taking baby steps in the right direction, but it's really time to immerse my self totally.
Anyways, enough with the bullshit...for my first 2010 Blog, I wanted to share some skull-crushing goodness from my good buddies in Rintrah from Murfreesboro!! The video below is a little sneak peek of a show we filmed at the Muse back in November...the footage is cool and it sounds great, hopefully they can use it as a supplement DVD for their upcoming E.P. more info to come! Here it is:
