COREYMICHAELSMITHSON.COMVIDEOS

A sampling of my corporate video work, from my five years as the Technical Director of Video Services for C2 Creative.  Except where indicated, I performed the editing, motion graphics, animation, and digital effects, using assets provided by the client, my coworkers, or by production crews.  In many cases, I provided art direction and creative support as well.  Most of these were intended as internal-use one-offs, industrials or show cues; only a few were public-facing.  I make no claims on the intellectual property presented below; its use here is intended only as a general demonstration of my skill set as an editor/motion graphics artist.

All videos are compressed using the Flash (.flv, Flash-8, On2VP6 Pro) video format. If you are unable to view these films, please download the FREE Adobe Flash Player, available here, for your browser. Also ... some of the longer videos may take a moment to load before the stream starts. Please be patient and wait for few seconds. The video will kick in!
