Rise of the Conqueror was cut, colored, and mastered in-house at Paradox. Just us, a lot of footage, and probably too much caffeine.
Here’s a peek inside the final stretch.

The timeline for Rise of the Conqueror. 1h 58m, cut by Evan Carpenter (@evanmcarpenter .)
Pacing is a fingerprint. Two editors with the same footage will hand you two different films. This is the one Evan made, and it’s the reason this movie moves the way it does.
One hub. Full pipeline.

THE STREAK @thestreakmovie is screening at @heartlandfilm this year and I couldn’t be prouder of my boys over at The Plains. ⚾️⚾️
Fun fact. Jared was the first to ever hire me as a freelance colorist over 10 years ago. He paid me with dinner and eventually let me take over his apartment lease in Provo at The Mayor’s Mansion (sounds fancier than it actually is). Kelyn and I bonded in college around the same time when he showed me this massive encyclopedia of 90s alternative rock and I was smitten. And Hunter and I instantly connected over some Tim and Eric goofems. I remember coming out of a walla session for a student capstone film and he said “hey check this out” and it was their Totino’s commercial.
Anyway! The Streak is a great doc. It’s about the longest winning streak in professional baseball history and it happens right there in Utah of all places. One of my favorite projects to date.

Those who know me know that I like things that go beep and boop in the night. So when Lynden gave me a call to work on a project for Ableton, I was obviously on board. Really proud to be a part of the team for this one. 🎹🎹🎹

This feature documentary follows a team of archeologists-turned-spies who brave Syria’s civil war and infiltrate the ranks of ISIS to uncover the greatest art theft since WW2 and unravel a conspiracy that implicates Western museums and one of the world’s most powerful companies.
Artifact War @artifactwar has been many, many years in the making. I’m very proud of everyone who worked on this flick.

Summertime, LA beaches, and 90s commercial vibes in this latest collaboration with @21marcoferreira at @wetnwildbeauty . 🏄♀️ 🏖️ 👄
A lot of times visual effects can be an afterthought, but with concepts like this you can see how crucial it is for VFX to be a part of the conversation from the very beginning.
