Neuron Transmission

This was our final for 3D Visual Effects. I researched neuro transmissions and composited this. Enjoy!

Personal AE Bumper

This assignment was to use 3d space, cameras, and lights in After Effects ... added a funky fun twist. Enjoy!

Fire

Here's my first attempt creating fire using particle systems.

Compositing Exercise

This week in Digital Compositing we got an assignment where we had to take 3D modeled elements and manipulate them in After Effects.  Each gear piece set is a separate layer, manipulated, corrected and moved separately. Enjoy!

Neversoft Bumper

This was a quick one week assignment bumper for Visual Effects, I recreated a Neversoft intro. I loved playing Tony Hawk ... Enjoy!

Blueprint Film

This is a first round final draft! Super excited for it to be mostly in place. I have a lot of little fixes still to revise, but for now, enjoy!

* I produced all modeled elements, textures, lighting, and animation in this film.

GERP

Meet Gerp, I think this little guy may just be my next Zbrush project ... he needs a body first.

Fshhhh

What do you call a fish with no I ??
Fshhhhh

Well, phonetic jokes are way more fun when said aloud - much was lost with that joke, but this guy is certainly no joke ... I wouldn't want to meet him in the water. This was a fun little airplane drawing using good ol' pencil and ballpoint pen.
