timsguitar 10 second spot

Tim's Guitar Workshop is located in Baton Rouge, LA. As a certified trained luthier, Tim specializes in guitar repair -- one of my *all time favorite* guitars is one that was repaired in his shop (ca 1962 Takamine folk guitar.) Tim also sells new guitars and equipment (pickups, amps, accessories, etc.) Tim expertly "sets up" all of his guitars and I can tell you from my own personal experience, they have all been a *joy* to play! I used to "lust" after Gibson electrics and acoustics -- always have wanted an SG or "better" and a Hummingbird or better... but since the last time I spent in Tim's shop -- I walked out with a Reverend Warhawk and am currently "lusting" after one of the Larrivees I played there. One of the really cool things about Reverend's Warhawk: it is very reminiscent of "the log" -- if you're a hardcore guitarist, you know what I'm talking about -- Les Paul's first electric. Check out the specs on the Warhawk... I'm serious! Then buy one from Tim's. [ LOL -- I am a non-compensated spokesperson for Tim's -- I work on his website from time to time and we've been friends for about 20 years -- that's the extent of my affiliation with Tim's Guitar Workshop.]

About the video:
First: nobody commissioned me to do this -- I just did it because I'm trying to build up some animation chops.

The "video/image wall" was prepared by taking all the logos as single layers in photoshop (cs3) and converting the project into an "animation" (layers to animation). Each layer is a single frame. In motion, the frames animation video is replicated (pre-planned 16 logos to fit) and a hold of about 8 frames [about 4 changes per second roughly]. The logo I had done for Tim's website a few years ago -- I just imported the layers and animated them.

The 10 second music composition ... what can I say... I put it together in about 5 minutes from canned loops and added some foley sounds to accentuate the animation of the logo. I'm fairly pleased with how things synch up together -- not perfect -- but I didn't really spend a lot of time on it... so... not bad.
