About Matthew Crnich

I am a Chicago based artist providing freelance creative direction & design.  Upon earning a degree in Motion Graphics from Savannah College of Art and Design, I returned to Chicago to serve as lead designer at Sol Design FX for 6 years.  I have since continued as a freelance artist at Digital Kitchen, Rebus Farms, Foundation Post, Eat Drink, Somersault, SOL and Impossible Pictures.

I am now available for on-site or remote freelance work with an emphasis on art direction, design and/or compositing.

This just came to my attention.  While working with Impossible Pictures last summer, I concepted, art directed, designed, and animated all the graphics for "The Falling Man" promo on behalf of Discovery Times Channel.  Impossible Pictures was honored with a national Promax Gold Award for this work.  This promo drove the best-ever ratings for a show of its genre on Discovery Times Channel.

Rebus Farms & Digital Kitchen
Monday, 07 July 2008

Hey, website, ya . . . you . . . here is an update . . . finally!  I have been silent, but with good cause.  The last 2 months have been great.  Yes great.  I have been rocking out on the GM (General Motors that is) 4th of July commercials with Rebus Farms along with a new campaign of spots for Midwest Airlines.  Upon wrap I jumped back over to the always excellent Digital Kitchen to start on more awesome design work.  So no complaints here.

 

I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Erin, Ian and Dan over at Rebus Farms on multiple projects.  The first and foremost being the July 4th sales event for General Motor.  Erin and I rocked out in LA along side Backyard Productions, Mad River Post and the Syndicate.  It was an exhaustive process that ultimately lead to a gratifying end result.  I will shortly post clips of the production, which we created the projected graphics and the final spots.  As for the second project, Midwest Airlines, I acted as vfx supe as well as designing, animating and compositing along side Erin.

 

I now back at  Digital Kitchen working on something wild and crazy (would you expect anything less?!).
