Our film “EROSION” is a poetic expression of this changing landscape of Brooklyn and the resulting loss of culture. This was a personal project and a labor of love – Shot on free weekends and weekdays over the course of five months. With no budget – but a generous donation of time and equipment from Tim Sessler and other collaborators – our small two-man crew begged, borrowed, and stole every shot to create the video you see here…

EROSION is a short film by Brandon Bloch, Tim Sessler and Brandon Bray – starring Dayrome “Bad Day” Wright, Kester “Flexx” Estephane, Anthony “Laiden” John and Makaveli Qu.

At its launch, Onshape was valued at $295 million… so it was hotly anticipated. But to drum up excitement among users, the company needed to make a statement. We created the following two videos that were used to introduce this new company to the world.

In the Summer of 2015 – after Onshape had been in the market for a few months, we followed up with a series of “Onshape Customer Stories” to illustrate the awesome features and benefits of using Onshape with real world examples.

Also created posters to display at Aria Resort in Las Vegas.

The LIVR campaign also included Instagram and Twitter profiles @LIVRlife – which posted real-time updates from SXSW 2014, where one of the “Co-Founders” attended in person, and in character. We also took LIVR offline and papered Austin with LIVR posters, handed out stickers, and were even awarded a trade show booth at Media Temple’s Open House event.

For his new business – BROOKLYNTERIORS – Clint is bringing the wheatpaste aesthetic indoors as handmade wallpaper. I collaborated with Clint to create the launch video for his new business in a way that pays homage to the step-by-step assembly-line process that goes into wallpapering a room.

The process of screenprinting, hanging the paper to dry, pasting it onto a wall – it all has a rhythm to it. Clint being a musician means his metronome and upright bass was sitting nearby. We recorded the natural sounds of the screenprinting process, and some simple bass melody, and layered it onto the timeline to create a fun, rhythmic piece to introduce BROOKLYNTERIORS to the world.

We road tripped along the Gulf Coast, exploring some of the most beautiful parts of the country, experiencing the culture, eating amazing food, and meeting some exceptional characters. For a total of 18 days we traveled throughout Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. We searched for the best stories and characters we could find… people who depend on the Gulf and interact with it on a daily basis.

Our small team consisted of myself (Directing and Shooting), Fernando Ortega (Shooting), and our agency producer (Being Awesome). Armed with two Canon 7Ds and a Sony F3 (plus a few other toys) we documented the whole experience to create a series of 20 videos we call “My Gulf”.

The series was commissioned by BP in support of the recovery of the region following last year’s oil spill. Though I wasn’t sure what to expect at the start of this experience, I was amazed to discover a region recovering really well. And along the way, I met some of the most hard-working and good-natured people I’ve ever met, each interacting with the Gulf in their own unique way. I felt privileged I was able to help document their culture and tell their stories.
