Audible | Sundance & SXSW
PRODUCTION COMPANY Log & Hatchet
PRODUCERS Spencer Thielmann, David Russo
EDITORS Spencer Thielmann, Anthony Marotta
Covering their activations and interviews for Audible’s social media, Spencer produced and edited 50 videos at Sundance 2024 and 25 videos at SxSW 2024 with micro-sized teams. His work at Sundance 2024 was Audible most viewed unpaid content in their history.
Edits were mostly edited on site for immediate posting, with minimal graphics or music to fit with the brand’s organic posting guidelines (and collaborative posts by the influencers).
Camp Woodward | Show Opens
PRODUCTION COMPANY Konrad and Paul
CAMERA OPERATOR, EDITOR Spencer Thielmann
MOTION GRAPHICS John Christon
Every year we tried to innovate and find a new twist on the previous title sequence for the Camp Woodward show. Season 8 was smoke bombs and anamorphic lenses. Season 9 was wood letters physically placed and interacted with by the cast members. Season 10 was a film photo first approach. Season 11 intermixed the cast and tricks shot in a studio. Throughout all of them, we kept it playful, stoked the vibe, and found the gnarliest tricks.
The Webby Awards | Webby For Good
PRODUCTION COMPANY Konrad and Paul
CAMERA OPERATOR, EDITOR Spencer Thielmann
MOTION GRAPHICS John Christon
Webby for Good is a collaborative program formed by The Webby Awards and WP Engine to showcase Webby-recognized projects built to change the world. The creators behind each digital experience describe their process, the challenges they faced, the rewards they reaped, and the unexpected outcomes that came from driving real social change in the world.
Square | Square Online
PRODUCTION COMPANY Konrad and Paul
EDITOR Spencer Thielmann
MOTION GRAPHICS John Christon
An advertisement for Square’s newly updated product Square Online, a website builder with deep ties into Square’s ecosystem, allowing small businesses to easily create a website with assets already used in their physical point-of-sale terminals. An interesting twist with this project was that for a heavy typography spot, we needed to build translated versions in three dialects of Spanish, two dialects of French, and Japanese, and it had to work in 16x9, 4x5, and 9x16. There were a lot of versions.

Cosmic Bowling
Taryn, Mollie, and Bird planned to go to cosmic bowling at the local bowling alley with one goal: finding the cute new boy in town. When cosmic bowling is tragically canceled, they are set on an all-night odyssey in search of that elusive perfect Friday night. Written as a love story to female friendship, Cosmic Bowling is a film about the high school experience, in the tradition of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused and George Lucas's American Graffiti, through the female lens.
Cosmic Bowling premiered on Short of the Week on December 4th, 2017.
