Late Friday night last week, the proprietor of our company, Mark Herzog ran into my office on his way out the door... "Hey, you've got a shoot on Sunday at the DGA with Martin Scorsese and James Cameron."

As I post this nearly a week later, the janitors are still having to vacuum around my fallen jaw.

Take a look at the featurette that we produced with the Hollywood Reporter and the good folks at Paramount where Scorsese discusses his first venture into the third dimension! For more, you can read Jay Fernandez of the Hollywood Reporter's interview transcript at the Hollywood Reporter website.

This past weekend, for Summit Entertainment through my gracious employer Herzog & Company - we spent a little time with die-hard Twilight fans that started sleeping in line four days early for a San Diego Comic-Con panel. Unbeknownst to them, the studio had arranged a surprise for them. The result is this piece which we shot Wednesday and Thursday, edited in a hotel room Thursday morning, and was online and out to news outlets by 5pm on Thursday evening...

Not able to make it to San Diego for the annual elbow-to-elbow, shoulder-to-shoulder mayhem? Not to worry, we've got you covered! Thanks to all of the super crazy technological advancements in this wave of the future that we call present day, now you can see Comic-Con through Troy's eyes.

That's right, marvel as he hangs out in line for Hall H, get a first-hand description of the pungent odor coming from the only operating restroom facility, glimpse excessive photographs of Slave Leias, and a whole lot more. It'll be like you're actually there hanging out with Troy (and you'll be running for the exits just as if you were too)!

The past couple weeks, we've had a great team at Herzog & Company putting together a World Premiere Special for Transformers: Dark of the Moon which starts airing on MTV2 starting tomorrow at 4pm PST/7pm EST. If you miss it, it'll also be airing throughout July 4th weekend on VH1 and Spike!

Check it out then leave your comments here on the SPT forums!

Here's a quick preview of the show...

Another spot that the Herzog & Company gang did for Paramount Pictures has popped up all over the internet and over at MichaelBay.com. Don't try this at home (not that you'd probably ever think of doing so if you're right of mind):

This past Wednesday, I had the opportunity to work with an rock-star crew from Paramount and Herzog & Company to cover directors Michael Bay and James Cameron discussing the current state of 3D, the future, and how it pertains to the third Transformers film, Dark of the Moon. Following the shoot's wrap at 9 that night, a tireless crew worked around the clock to create this piece to go live on Michael Bay's website and around the rest of the internet with the new 3D trailer unveiled in front of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides on Friday.



Much more to definitely come as it's released. An insurmountable thanks to the production crew, offline and online editors, post staff, and everyone that watched a couple of sunrises from the office with us to get this done.

UPDATE:

The longer version we cut is also on Michael Bay's website and the Hollywood Reporter:

We've been dying to show you...

While my excitement was clearly evident at midnight last night for the release of the Alien Anthology, I also got to do just a little bit of work on the Back to the Future Blu-ray set that was released on Tuesday as well which was, needless to say, a dream come true.

Under the watchful eye of Laurent Bouzereau and my partner in crime and closest friend Adam Vadnais, I got to jump on at the last minute to write the Setups & Payoffs track, produce the Storyboard Comparisons, and work with the team on producing the animated Nuclear Test Site Ending.

As is my strange meta tradition, to celebrate release day, here's a couple behind the behind the scenes images:
