Scott James (Comic & RPG Artist) asked me to produce a short video promotion for his latest project “The Case Files of Harlan Falk”.

The Case Files of Harlan Falk
Artists: Scott James / Alex Johns
Writer: Cy Dethan
ISBN: 978-1-909276-04-8



A respected hostage negotiation expert loses his mind when a bizarre kidnapping case results in a child’s unexplained death. His wild talk of murderous monsters born from the victim’s own imagination is impossible to believe, and the catastrophe sees him driven out of business in a cycle of alcoholism, denial and despair. Several years later, when a new case arises bearing all the hallmarks of the same killers. Harlan Falk emerges from obscurity a changed man: a monster negotiator. Using resources and methods beyond the scope of conventional investigators, he sets out to finally close the case that cost him his career.

The Solution:
Using illustrations Scott provided, I used Adobe After Effects to produce particle effects and animations to bring his story to life.
