the obsession, is being able to contain it. Because if obsession is not contained, then it becomes erratic, scattered, negative, the positive energy can flip into the negative. I know all too well, ‘cause I spent a lot of time there.

At that time I was appointed to Creative Director of the project in which I worked with teams internationally and internally to produce a list of deliverables that would give the SciFi network a new and fresh look for the upcoming Fall season. http://www.stephenschuster.com/Sci-Fi-IF-Campaign-2007 http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/Sci-Fi-IF-Campaign-2007 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 15:17:35 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 236088 Following up the successful rebrand of SciFi in 2006, I was approached the next year to create this package. I designed and directed the live action spots while overseeing a talented team at Diesel FX which handled the 3D and compositing. The bumpers are designed to be a moment in time - a reminder that anything can happen in this whimsical world. http://www.stephenschuster.com/Doritos-Adam-Eve http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/Doritos-Adam-Eve Wed, 15 Dec 2010 18:53:45 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 860818 Adam: Justin Wade Eve: Sarah Stage Director: Stephen Schuster DoP: Morgan Susser Editor: Dean Gonzalez Audio: Tony Crowe Visual FX: DieselFX + Stephen Schuster Hair + Makeup: Ricardo Ferrise http://www.stephenschuster.com/Alice-In-Chains-BGWTB-Mini-Doc http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/Alice-In-Chains-BGWTB-Mini-Doc Sun, 26 Sep 2010 21:59:07 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 236100 Your browser does not support the video tag Directed By: Stephen Schuster Produced By: Bucks Boys/Danny Lockwood DP: Morgan Susser Edited By: Ryan McGuire @ Cutters http://www.stephenschuster.com/Avenger http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/Avenger Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:41:52 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 236192 A teaser completed for "Avenger" which aired on TNT. http://www.stephenschuster.com/The-Company http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/The-Company Sun, 24 Jan 2010 03:40:34 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 236166 A pair of teasers completed for "The Company" which aired on TNT. http://www.stephenschuster.com/Mad-Creator-Productions-Logo http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/Mad-Creator-Productions-Logo Sun, 24 Jan 2010 02:30:36 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 236114 Gris Grimly is a "children's illustrator for adults" and has become known as a prominent artist gaining notoriety with every book he unleashes on the general public. Always wanting to embrace the horror genre, he has recently moved into directing and producing films. It was at a gallery show of Gris's work that we met and realized we both shared an eye for the dark shadows that hide behind an obscured lens. After collaborating on a production logo for Mad Creator Studios I created an animated stop motion piece of the logo. The logo short explores the idea of the studio delivering in a new medium to the public while revealing the new new logo at the same time. http://www.stephenschuster.com/Truth-Vs-Deception http://www.stephenschuster.com/following/stephenschuster.com/Truth-Vs-Deception Sun, 24 Jan 2010 02:26:05 +0000 The Directorial Work of Stephen Schuster 236109 The theme for the second annual Twenty 120 festival, curated by Connor Swegle, was Truth Vs Deception. Keeping in line with the spirit of Twenty120, a select group of twenty directors were invited to create films, interpreting the theme as they choose. The films first screened in New York in Mid-June at Promax/BDA in New York with a Los Angeles Screening on July 17. “Truth Vs Deception”, or the interpretation of, is dealing with the idea of perceived reality and how it relates to ones own self image and time. Looking at moments of how we see or perceive our mirrored images and the struggles that each face within that moment in time. Self perception. Inner conflict. A constant struggle with both sides at war. No side ever wins the war but merely gains a temporary victory.
