A compilation of my lighting and compositing work on the Tales From Sanctuary City films (The Wishmas Tree, Combat Wombat, Daisy Quokka).

Elephants, Poachers, Guns, Money & Horses make for an exciting film - but beneath it all lies the illegal wildlife trade. The global banking system can disrupt this, cutting off the criminal syndicates access to finance, reducing the demand for ivory and the destruction of these animals. This is an everyday war in Africa and the stakes are high : the destruction of species and the question of whether they will be in our future . It was gratifying to bring this awareness campaign to life for Standard Chartered, and to work with such a brilliant team in Africa. Standard Chartered are founding members of this- https://www.unitedforwildlife.org/projects/financial-taskforce/

"One of the best matches of visuals to music I’ve seen." -- Anne Midgette, Washington Post "Gorgeous." -- Alex Ross, New Yorker critic, in his blog The Rest Is Noise This project is growing into an opera: http://mosesjacobsopera.com More info on the director: http://www.joshuafrankel.net/Plan_Of_The_City.html https://twitter.com/#!/frankelfrankel More info on the music: http://www.nowensemble.com Making-of photos on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Plan-Of-The-City/170279963031275 A new film combing animation with live action conceived and directed by Joshua Frankel, about the architecture of New York City blasting off into outer space and resettling on Mars. The film’s visuals are an animated collage combining live action footage, animated elements, illustrations and treated photographs, including photos taken by the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity made available to the public domain by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Plan of the City was created in collaboration with composer Judd Greenstein and NOW Ensemble, an acclaimed "indie classical" chamber ensemble; the ensemble, including Greenstein, feature prominently in the film as live actors set inside the animated framework. The audio of the film consists solely of Greenstein's Change, performed by NOW Ensemble; Change and Plan of the City were created in parallel, each expressing its own artistic intention while simultaneously serving its "sibling". The film was presented with the music performed live, timed to the film, at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City in May, 2011. It also exists as its own stand-alone entity, utilizing NOW Ensemble's recent studio recording of Change(out on New Amsterdam Records).
