For Bounce-Rite Trampolines, my goal was to make something fun, kid & family friendly, with energy but still seem professional and trustworthy. After all, when you’re talking something that the whole family will be jumping up and down on, you want to know that you can believe in the manufacturer. I’ll post up the other page designs as they’re finished.

Paul and I went out last night and did some shooting for Murder My Sweet & Petals, two Austin bands we hold near and dear to our hearts. It was a good time and we got some great photos and footage with Paul’s Panasonic GH-1 and Lesley’s Canon 20D. Enjoy!

We’re working on a pretty secret, pretty badass project. Not going to go into all the details but Ben and I are doing some concept art for it. Here’s a sample – not colored, obviously.

Recently Red McCombs Media contracted me to do a nice and clean blog redesign for them, based on their current website and the branding I’d created back for them when I was the Creative Manager. Here’s the result: 
Bleutuna & the Lumixgimme some Tags: actors, austin, bleutuna, bleutuna limited, camera, coffee shop, conflict of interest, downtown, gh-1, lumix, panasonic, paul gandersman, qmanning, reshoots, shooting
Bleutuna, thanks to Paul Gandersman, has a new camera! The Panasonic Lumix GH-1! This joker is great and actually provides a much better image than the Panasonic HVX-200 that we’ve been using for years, and most imporatantly, allows us to easily use real lenses in the process! Thasright! No more crazy rotating glass adapters with their own batteries, making everything hard to move and pan without dealing with a ridiculous amount of shakiness! Paul and I will be headed downtown to shoot some footage for a couple of projects we’re doing right now, one being the feature film Conflict of Interest! So note to our actors who we contacted last week – get ready, cause we’re gonna’ shoot with you pretty damn quick! We’ll be back with some nice new footage here soon – so stay tuned! Editing Conflict of InterestWe’ve done a test screening and have more on the way. The feedback has been pretty good so far, but the work still continues. Today Paul and I will be going out and shooting some various insert shots that we think need to be there to really sell the whole thing. Its funny how the shot of a coffeeshop can add so much clarity.

Outraged Blog Designgimme some Tags: austin, austin web design, blog, conflict of interest, designer, director, freelance web design, garcia, mobaire, mordire, movie, outraged, rohamba, stan, website, writer
For Conflict of Interest, the main character is the author of a ridiculously popular blog that begins to make big waves in the political world. So if you’re going to have a movie that is about a blog, you should probably at least have a blog design. And shots of people surfing it. I wanted it to feel a little militaristic – representative of the grass-roots sort of revolutionary mindset that Outraged influences within his readers. It also had to have a sense of Mombaire. The logo features the Mombarian “star” prominently, the star that’s seen on both the Mombarian flag and the Kimaiyo flag during the film. To view a “live” version of the design, Go here! Otherwise, just look at the design below:  DubLab & Ringo Deathstarrgimme some Tags: austin school of film, bleutuna limited, brian younce, dublab, mack "frosty" mcneil, paul gandersman, ringo death starr, video
Paul Gandersman and I went out and helped with an Austin School of Film shoot yesterday for local band Ringo Death Starr. LA based DubLab was heading up the whole thing. It was a great time. Thanks Frosty, Bryan & Jennifer! Fun stuff! Check out the video below. You can see my behind the camera wearing a Wilco shirt and later saying “Rolling!”

 Quick “computer login screen” made for the film Conflict of Interest. We needed computer inserts of the main character Stan breaking into a computer. The easiest way was a simple, quick HTML walk-through. Live Demonstration

Apparently my email is bouncing back replies. I have no idea why. So if you’ve tried to email me and gotten an error – please email to qmanning@gmail.com. Ugh!
