KILL OR BE KILL 2. from Andy Sapp on Vimeo.
The long-awaited follow-up to the first installment. This video continues the horror-inspired, theatrical slow-motion – while trying to keep the “sequel” status from collapsing into common franchise stereotypes that the horror genre is known for.Principal photography for this project was plagued with technical difficulties from the start. Cameras falling off cars, HDD cameras shutting themselves off before every run, lens issues, focusing problems… it was all there. While this video didn’t quite live up to my personal expectation and original creative vision… it did turn out well.
The sequel is finally complete. No one is safe
I came across these cool press kits I designed and had printed for SEMA back in 2006. We were looking for some company backing to help offset the cost of the documentary. I threw these press kits together extremely fast to make it back from the press in time for Vegas. Two years have passed since then, and now that I’m looking back on these… I think they turned out to be a slick piece of collateral.
The press kit starts out with a brief synopsis of what the project was about, and what our goal behind it was.
It talked about media partnerships, and what we had to offer as a marketing platform.
It overviewed unique impressions through all media outlets, and discussed partnership options for sponsorship.
Lastly, a DVD of the 1st teaser trailer was attached to the back inside cover via a cool gel disc holder.
Off all the prospective partnerships… the only one to step up and show faith in what we were doing was Exedy Racing Clutch. Most of the other companies were either turned off because of the street-drifting in the documentary, or fell under the “all talk, no action” clause that seems to plague the industry.
Regardless, these press kits are very cool, and will be something I will cherish forever. To me, these still mark the beginnings of this project… and are a small part of a larger picture of what this project later became.
Jacob from Everything Drift sent me a picture from Formula Drift Las Vegas of some new tees that I designed for them. We’re working on some crazy designs and crazier prints… so keep an eye out for more soon.
New full-page ad I designed for Slide Style™. A new lineup of Slide Style™ goods is in the works… so stay tuned.
The guys over at Unnatural Inc. hit me up to rock a t-shirt design for their Drift Invasion series. I wanted to run with a similar style to the flyer I designed for them… but I also wanted to make a print that guys and girls could both wear. I can’t wait to see the printed product!
Ryan rendered a quick texture-mapped version of the E46 model on a medium render setting. Take a look!

The detail on the wheel/tyre combo is simply stunning. He modeled the Racing Dynamics RGP’s perfect. There are even threads on my extended lug bolts! THAT is attention to detail!

Things up at Advanced Armament have been keeping me extremely busy with a number of different tasks. Some of which, have been magazine ads. I have created several full-page ads that have been appearing in many different publications.

This video is a super-short and sweet attempt at making a drift video unlike any other I have made before. All the on-car footage is shot from cameras mounted on other drift cars during multi-car tandem. I wanted it to feel very theatrical… and the soundtrack by John Carpenter helps tremendously. The DriftMechaniks were on a murder spree this weekend… so it seemed all-but fitting.
