Hello, I'm Brian Reith. Pretty much my whole life and most of my career I've been a songwriter, artist and music producer : touring nationally, collaborating with Grammy-winning artists, and building a career rooted in storytelling and connecting with people.After living in Nashville for 20 years, I recently moved back to Milwaukee to marry my best friend/woman of my dreams.Over the years I've been fortunate enough to develop a skill and passion for telling stories through visual media. I am very skilled in After Effects and Premiere Pro.Other than enjoying the Milwaukee summer, enduring the Milwaukee winter, I start every day by running my dog followed by a delicious cup of fine-tuned pour-over coffee :)Please don't hesitate to reach out! I love meeting new people and opportunities to collaborateCheers!Brian

MUSIC VIDEORole: Art Director / Animator

Creative Brief: My client was looking for a music video. He made reference to the book Fahrenheit 452 for inspiration. My task was to convey the idea and emotion of a world where some individuals are breaking out of a brainwashed society - in a non literal and eye catching way. My client also referenced the artist Beck as an influence, so I gained a lot of inspiration from this amazing video. The turnaround time was 2 weeks from initial concept to final render.

I started off with a collage piece I was working on just as an experiment. That birthed the idea of entering in and out of different worlds through different televisions.
From there I searched for images that caught my eye and ended up creating 8 scenes to tell the story.

Fun Fact: I made the sun out of a piece of pizza and a matte in Luminosity Blend Mode.
