Dartmouth Independent Film Fest
By Stephen Tringali
Two of the music videos I directed and shot have been selected to be a part of the Dartmouth Independent Film Festival. Unfortunately, however, none of them were selected to potentially receive festival awards. You can check out the festival home page here and you can see the festival films here.

New Rock Music Video Storyboards
By Stephen Tringali
I’ve been meaning to post more work here in the past month or so. Now that the New Rock video has wrapped up, I thought some people might be interested in seeing some of the work that went in to planning it. I’ve posted the storyboards for the mime sequence below. I drew 37 pages of storyboards in total, which comprised about 64 unique shots.
Also of interesting note are the portions that I decided to omit from the video. Most of the omissions happened because of time constraints that occurred while filming. Here, you will notice that I included a shot of the mime peeing his pants. That, unfortunately, never made the final cut.

Featherweight Finishes First Project
For our Advanced Visual Media Portfolio class, Jesse Kimes, myself, Chris Marotta, and Zach Jopling created a production company that produces visual content for bands. Our first project was for the Washington, D.C.-based rock band, The Moderate. We just finished putting the final touches on everything, and you can check out the photo, video, and web content here.
