Sauce Leopard

Video Production & 3D Animation

Long-running creative partnership with Sauce Leopard, a Denver-based hot sauce brand that's been featured on Hot Ones twice (Seasons 18 and 29). I make their videos, 3D product animations, and commercials. They make hot sauce. It works out.

The work spans live action product videos, 3D renders in Unreal Engine, NeRF photogrammetry experiments, and social content. Every new sauce gets its own visual identity — packaging, color palette, energy. It's the kind of ongoing partnership where the creative gets to evolve alongside the brand.

2× Hot Ones Featured on Seasons 18 and 29 of the show. Each appearance needed launch content, product ads, and social assets.
Video + 3D Live action commercials, Unreal Engine 3D renders, and NeRF photogrammetry — blending real and virtual production.
11+ Sauces Each product gets its own visual identity and content suite. Different sauce, different vibe, different creative direction.

Studio Product Shoots

Product photography across the full line. Every bottle has its own personality, so every shot needed its own treatment.

NeRF Product Ad

Shot the bottle with a Sony FX3 and one crappy light, then ran it through LumaLab's NeRF tech. Early experiment — turned out surprisingly well.

Hot Sauce Summer

3D product spot rendered in Unreal Engine for a summer social push. Hot sauce on a beach. It made sense at the time.

3D Animation

3D Product Animations

3D product spins and animated spots for social and e-commerce. The VW Bus scene for Road Dawg is a personal favorite.

Commercial

Brand Commercials & Ads

Live-action commercials with fire, motion graphics, and a general disregard for subtlety. Brand teasers to paid social.

Content

Comedy Skits & Social

Comedy skits and social content. The Gangland spoof series helped build the early audience before anyone cared about the sauce.

Strategy

Sales & Growth Strategy

Advisory work on retail, e-commerce, and brand positioning as they scaled from DTC to wholesale. Not my core skill set, but helpful when you've watched a brand grow from day one.
