Bling Bling Pack Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | Super Power elements are always difficult to do because gameplay animations are always very quick, and don't always show well. Even when the animations are slowed down, a lot of creative editing needs to happen to cover up animation hitches. Fortunately this was our second super power pack, and I had learned how to get around most of these issues.We needed to show the player gaining money, without showing UI. Custom elements needed to be made that matched the game to show the player gaining or loosing cash when they used these powers.I was responsible for production, writing, editing, capture, and titles for this pack.
Grass Roots and Presidental Packs Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | This was our first experiment in combining DLC trailers. This was done to make time for all of the media that needed to be completed in such a short time span. All DLC trailers were only given 5 calendar days to complete due to the aggressive release schedule.I was responsible for the Titles, capture, editing, and production on this.
Game On and College Daze Packs Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | I was responsible for writing, capture, editing, Graphics, and production on this trailer. With every clothing pack, it's always difficult to try and find a context in which your outfit makes sense. For the golfers it was pretty obvious for them to be in a wooded area, but we don't have golf in our game. Good thing You could "play golf" with dead aliens! I always have fun trying to figure out ways to show off the outfits in a way that makes contextual sense.
GAT V Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | Deep silver came up with a marketing plan to create a Jonny Gat DLC pack, and call it GAT V to go against the launch of Grand Theft Auto V. We made an ad buy on Twitter to become the sponsored hashtag, and it worked well, many press outlets were tweeting GAT V instead of GTA V for the launch of their product.This video accompanied the marketing push. I was responsible for the writing, production, capture, editing, and graphics on this. I wanted to give it a very shitty broadcast look similar to what QVC does to sell items, but still look modern. Ultimately this is a spoof on the Franklin Mint ads, where most of the inspiration comes from.
Reverse Cosplay Pack Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | This special DLC pack required us to tell the story of why it was important to players. I felt that it was important to tell the story of the people behind the drawings. We asked them to record video interviews of themselves doing a quick interview, and I edited the entire thing together. I was responsible for Producing, editing, titles, and capture.Background: We had put together a contest to get fans to submit their drawings to us, and we picked the best ones to create a free DLC pack in Saints Row IV. This video talks about the journey.

Super Power Fight Club intro Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | This was a new activity created for Saints Row IV to take advantage of the super powers.

SR4 Glitch cutscenes Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | CONTAINS SPOILERS. These were mission intros to give a brief explanation of the characters you were meeting for those new to the series, or those who needed a refresher. I was responsible for the capture, editing, and glitch effects. You can also see how I created the glitch effects in this other video: youtube.com/watch?v=IObHqxrviqY
Genki Proving Grounds cutscene Alexander Mejia 2014-09-16 | I was responsible for the titles, capture, and editing of this cutscene in Saints Row IV. At this point in production, we had a clear idea of what the Professor Genki TV show's style was like, and I followed that going forward with the fast, and frenetic action.

Making of the Saints Row IV Slamout Alexander Mejia 2014-03-06 | 2014 Silver Telly Award wining piece I walk through of the process of making the Saints Row IV Slamout. This went at the end of our gameplay trailers, and was focused on the hardcore gamer.
Saints Row IV Slam Out Alexander Mejia 2014-03-04 | I edited, designed, and produced this bumper to go on our Saints Row IV trailers. Saints Row IV has a very sci-fi theme, where the main player is hacking into alien systems. I wanted to push that brand with the use of anamorphic Lens flares with this title floating out in space.I took it even further by adding our digital hacking theme by having glitches that were taken by creating low quality DV exports, overlaid with a noise mask, some custom displacement maps combined with real tape jitter from a D5 version of the video I trashed, and a h.264 version I datamoshed into the video by putting the frames in out of order sequences, causing echos of previous frames misaligned with P frames. All three of these versions were composited in After Effects with noise masks and edits were timed to the music for the final effect.Music by: Malcom Kirby Jr.Sound design by : Brandon Bray

Autocross Car mount test Alexander Mejia 2012-11-02 | I wanted to test the strength of the car mount suction cups I got from filmtools.com on a co-workers car during some autocross runs. It's the Gripper3025 package on a Sony FS700 with a Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L III was responsible for the filming, but Did not do the post on this work.
Saints Row : The Third Gang Pack DLC Trailer Alexander Mejia 2012-10-23 | I was the shooter and Editor on this trailer.The challenge in making this one was the fact that there was so much visible content to show off in 50 seconds. We had decided early on from looking at our Youtube Analytics that players were only engaged in these trailers for about 55 seconds before shutting it off. We needed to make sure that we could put all of the key features in those first 55 seconds.
Saints Row: The Third Bloodsucker DLC Pack Trailer Alexander Mejia 2012-10-23 | I was the shooter and editor on this trailer.I had a lot of fun in this trailer trying to do a vampire stalker scene played out by the neck bite (The only visible feature in this DLC trailer). The rest of the pack contains just stat upgrades.
Saints Row: The Third Horror Pack Alexander Mejia 2012-10-23 | I was the Shooter and Editor on this DLC Trailer.I wanted to show off the fun things you could do with the horror themed items we had in this pack. It was a lot of fun to shoot.
Machinima Mode for Saints Row : The Third Alexander Mejia 2012-10-23 | This is a quick demo our developer Machinima Mode that I Designed for Saints Row The Third. It allows us to create high quality, cinematic-like, real-time captures for trailers. I used this tool exclusively for our DLC Marketing campaign to generate all of the shots.Those shots still need to be captured by an external recorder. In this instance I used FRAPS, but you could use the second DVI port on your graphics card to output to an external HDMI recorder from AJA or Blackmagic.This is a tool that we use on our internal debug builds, and is not available for public release.

Special Operations DLC Trailer For Saints Row: The Third Alexander Mejia 2012-05-22 | In this trailer we were showing off the three new vehicles included. Shooting crazy action scenes with vehicles is pretty easy with the Real Time Camera Capture tool that I helped design for Saints Row the third. We wanted to get back to showcasing Community characters. So we give a quick shout-out at the end for the community generated character.
Trouble with Clones Trailer for SRTT Alexander Mejia 2012-05-07 | I was responsible for the editing, writing, and titles on this trailer. Byron Evora was responsible for the audio mix.We wanted to focus on two things: Johnny was back, and Super powers. I was looking at other super hero movie trailers and really wanted to give it that epic feeling.
Gangstas In Space Trailer for SRTT Alexander Mejia 2012-03-30 | I was responsible for the Editing, Shooting, and Titles on this piece.Drew Holmes was responsible for the ScriptByron Evora was responsible for the sound mix.This trailer was revised several times. At first it was a serious sci-fi trailer to look like an AAA action movie, but after some deliberation we decided that we should go down the campy route, since it was more akin to Saints Row.The titles were a pretty big challange because we wanted them to have that Shiny HBO logo likeness akin to the 1984 "Feature Presentation" video they showed before every movie. Titles took almost 20 hours to render a piece, and the script called for a lot of them, as part of the Camp joke we were trying to make.
ZStyle DLC Trailer for Saints Row: The Third Alexander Mejia 2012-02-27 | I was responsible for the Editing and Titles for this trailer. I had a lot of fun editing this trailer because the music really helped create a rythm for the edits. It seemed to just fall into place. At this point in the SRTT marketing campaign I've figured out how to capture good looking shots quickly. This trailer was started from concept to final in about 3 business days.
GenkiBowl Trailer for Saints Row: The Third Alexander Mejia 2012-02-27 | I was responsible for the editing, and titles on this trailer. Kyle Vande Slunt was responsible for the final audio mix. In this trailer we wanted to give a superbowl epic feeling to Genki Bowl as this was the DLC pack that really blew the Prof Genki stuff out. The titles were designed to be gaudy and crazy as the Japanese cat is just that.
GenkiBowl Teaser for Saints Row the Third Alexander Mejia 2012-02-27 | I was responsible for the editing, and titles on this fast turnaround teaser. Marketing wanted us to come up with a teaser for the GenkiBowl Trailer based mostly off footage we made in the Original trailer. This was the result.
SRTT Final Bridge Sequence Vs 2D animatic Alexander Mejia 2012-02-27 | After some final tweaks to the 2d Bridge animatic, we had to cut a lot of things mainly becuase of ram limitations and time constraints. Our 3D team also did some improvised shots to make the final cutscene better.
SRTT 2D Animatic for Bridge sequence Alexander Mejia 2012-02-27 | This was my first pass at editing the bridge sequence in Saints Row the Third. We wanted this to be a fast paced action packed ambush similar to the bridge scene in Bad Boys II. I was responsible for the Editing and temp sounds. This was the blueprint used when jumping to 3D for the cutscene.
Cherished Memories: Naked Skydiving (Netherlands Exclusive) Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the performer and editor on this clip. This video never got a US release, and was only shown in the Netherlands market. This video took over 35 takes to get the jump right. The action was always a single take and there was no editing trickery to show the right takedown animation as they are always random. Marketing specifically called out the one takedown animation where the character smiles at the camera while posing on the ground.
Saints Row the Third: Professor Genki Super Ethical Reality Climax Intro video. Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was responsible for the shooting, and editing of this video.Steve Jarros wrote the script for this one.Kyle Vande Slunt was responsible for the audio mix as well.Jon Meilike was serving as director over the animated logos. I Animated the logos in After Effects.The video clips were open to interpretation by me. I felt like it would be really funny to see Professor Genki running around murdering everybody like how Michael Jordan dunks on lesser player in a highlight reel. Seeing this Cat with the huge face certainly has resonated with players.Steve has always been a very funny writer. He was responsible for the Ostrich video we did for Red Faction Guerrilla, and he did a steller job giving us good funny content to go with. Since this was a tutorial video we were tasked with just explaining the game mechanics in a fun way.I looked at several Japanese game show videos to get an idea of the feeling and pacing it should be edited with. Its the reason why i used the windowed overlay with the scrolling faces in the background.During the logo animation, we used every kind of animation that we could as the entire game is a huge mashup of crazy discordant things. Overall I like the end product and it serves its purpose.
Cherished Memories: Bathrobe Zombie Defense Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the performer and Shooter on this video.I was tasked with showing off the zombies for the first time in Saints Row. At first we showed a very serious (similar to what is in the video now) opening of zombies chasing after a scared man with a mask on, much like the mission this is modeled after. After some internal discussion we thought that it wast "Saints row enough". So we changed up the main character to being a black-man in a bathrobe for two reasons, we havn't featured a black character yet, and it was just funny for a bathrobe to be on anybody running from zombies.Byron Evora was responsible for the audio mix. He had an idea of shoving in a funny line at the end and I ended up changing the video to freeze frame on the end instead of just smash cutting like we had been doing with the previous videos. I thought the line was really funny, and it just stuck with the rest of the team.
Cherished Memories: Clear the Path Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the performer on the bike, the shooter, and editor.Scott Philips was the female running the UAV Drone.I had an idea of what it would be like if a player was driving quickly down a street, while a co-op player destroyed cars left and right from another location. The idea then got molded to be on a motorcycle, as it gave us more manuverability, and showed off the cool characters.At the end, the player obviously does not land the jump so we cut early :)
Cherished Memories: Satchel Charges Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the Shooter, Editor, and one of the performers in this video.Scott Phillips was the other co-op performer.We wanted to see how far we could push the boundaries on this video. We wanted to have a Suicide bomber get loaded up by a soldier, and thrown into harms way.
Cherished Memories: Jetsurfing Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the editor, shooter, and performer driving the jet. Scott Phillips was the female character trying to stay ballanced.We were tasked by marketing to come up with the most extreme carsurfing video possible. When we were finished with inital rounds of capture, we weren't happy with the results. We then tried to surf on top of a jet, and guess what? It works.Try it out with your friends in co-op. I shot a small intro sequence with the strong female character because we hadn't had a strong female character yet in these videos. I wanted to the beginning to feel like a high action AAA Hollywood film, and then we cut to gameplay of the actual co-op jet surfing.
Cherished Memories: Genki Gun Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the editor and shooter on this piece.We wanted to have the youngest most innocent looking girl possible in Saints Row turn around and kill a bunch of gang members. Kudos to V-Singular for the idea to start out on the breasts on the first shot.
Cherished Memories: Zombie Duet Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the Editor, and performer on this.It was difficult to find a route in the city that was this close to a Rim Jobs in game where I could do a 360 in the street, and jump a ramp in such a short time with the EMU, one of the slowest cars in the game.This is a video in the Cherished Memories series for Saints Row the Third.
Cherished Memories: Exploding bullets Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the shooter and Performer of this.It took me a long time to learn how to do this but it is possible to bounce a character into the air with a fully upgraded Sutherland pistol. Marketing thought that this moment was so cool, we designed an entire marketing campaign around it.
Cherished Memories: Bike Jumping Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was the shooter and editor on this promo. Brandon Bray was responsible for the audio on this. We had an interesting time trying to get this shot done, as it was very difficult to make this jump in the game. Originally we had shot this promo using the cyberspace bike, but marketing did not want us to reveal that bike just yet. We ended up re-shooting with this bike which made the jump even harder to execute. Marketing then decided that the clothing should be Red White and Blue to make him look more like a daredevil so we had to re-shoot the promo a third time. By then we were getting good at making this jump maybe 1 out of 3 times. Because of the several iterations that went into making this video, it ended up coming out near the end of the campaign instead of the beginning, where it was originally scheduled.
Cherished Memories: Baseball Alexander Mejia 2011-11-16 | I was responsible for the editing and one of the players actions.Scott Phillips was the female coop player. Kyle Vande Slunt was responsible for the audio mixing and adding music.This was a fun video we improvised when trying to come up with good ideas for the Cherished Memories campaign.
