Aftershock Digital

Fritz’s HD Post House in LA

ARNOLD PALMER once wrote to thank me for encouraging him to win the Westchester Classic, one of his last majors: “Your comments added a measure of confidence to my game so I tried harder to win it and prove you right.  Good luck with your game, Fritz.  Remember that it takes hard work, dedication and confidence to go all the way—- both in golf and in life.” That’s good stuff.

“On The Fritz” I’m a commercial and feature film editor from Los Angeles.  In other lives, I have been a media planner at Grey Advertising and Ogilvy & Mather in NY, an Off-Broadway actor (for an improv company in SOHO), the Michelob man, the Ocean Spray guy, and a doctor on Ryan’s Hope. My first editing gig (a :60 spot for AT&T) was nominated for a Clio. Heading West, I had a brief stint at Red Car, cut trailers for the studios, and then opened my own post house, Aftershock Digital in ’95. At AD, I have cut Superbowl spots, features like “Save The Last Dance,” promoted most of the networks, and cut major campaigns for Reebok, Toyota, Nintendo & Microsoft. My full service post house is home of the flamboyant new series “Warren The Ape” for MTV and features 6 HD edit bays, 5.1 surround mixing, and HD color correcting. We support indie filmmakers throughout the world.  Stop by for some free Aftershock tea!

It was a NOVEL IDEA: shoot a rocking music video for EARTH DAY that would inspire people around the globe to recycle. The only hitch? Director Fritz Feick of Aftershock Digital in LA didn’t have a song. 

Model Nadia Lanfranconi brought her boyfriend, musician Johnny Five, to the shoot. After filming them on the street in Long Beach, Feick invited them back to his editing facility the next day where Five wrote and performed his LOVE SONG on the spot.

Parable of the Limes It was the Christmas present I got every year for my dad: Old Spice Lime Cologne. God awful stuff. But did you know, that in a pinch, crushed lime leaves can relieve headaches? Limes can be a remedy for hemorrhoids, falling hair, and even bad breath. In my front yard we have had a little crooked lime tree. Dwarfed by a massive pine, its branches could barely punch out more than a couple limes at a time. But when San Andreas winds recently threatened our house, the huge pine had to be felled leaving the lime all to its lonesome. Miracle of miracles, the lime soon found itself smothered in sun, and is now pumping out fruit at a rate that some would find astonishing. Few people escape a visit to Lookout Mountain without getting a slice in their drink or finding it shaved atop their favorite piece of pie. The parable? Don’t be afraid to cut things out of your life that aren’t performing. Many of us have closets filled with things we never use and that space can be repurposed & better utilized. Sometimes, we’re so anxious to hold onto what we have and settle for what works, that we can’t see the forest from the tree. Do a clearing!  Cut out whatever isn’t producing fruit in your life—and that means bad habits. Replenish the soil with new, better habits, then just wait… As the adage says, growth takes time. But dimes for donuts, I’ll be damned if you don’t start seeing limes!

Last week I spoke for career day to three classes at the VAPA HIGH SCHOOL (#9) in downtown LA. Giving Fritz an open mic is a dangerous thing to do! It was a real treat for me to share some of the stories and lessons I have learned over the years in filmmaking. The show stopper was when I handed out one of my two new HD cameras that can shoot in FULL HD with image stabilization (hint: no more steady cam) for $400. The Canon HFS 200 also shoots in 24P! There are no longer any barriers to making feature films, and I encouraged them all to start where they are right now—start shooting short films. It was also a pleasure to meet one of the architects for the school that is fast becoming the talk of downtown L.A.
