Beautiful Losers/Designs
This project I created for my Digital Ilistration Class and for Greyscale Gorilla‘s 5 Second Animation. The original idea was to parody a movie poster that would promote the class(It can be seen on my DeviantArt Page). There also was another 2 part project of the call to create a gif animation and a tutorial. The movie I choose was Beautiful Losers.
Process
I created a tutorial explaining my process with screen shots and video screen recordings. The screencast videos made the pdf to big so I had to take those out. My original intention was to create a 3 part tutorial with step one dealing the the background information, part 2 dealing with Cinema 4D, and part 3 with After Effects/Integration with C4D. Due to time constraints and my overachieving mentality on this project, I was not able to create part 3.
Part 2-PDF zipped using winzip
- My Process Outline was:
- Receive Project Requirements
- Choose Poster to Imitate – Research
- Create/Design Poster
- Story Board Animation
- Take photos of sky, clouds, etc..
- Break apart design for animation
- Test Run and prep for screen cast
- Find suitable screen casting application
- Test run of c4D animation and composting
- Test run of importing into AE
- Write the beginning part of the tutorial
- Real Run/Project creating
- Redo Project Creating
- Finish Tutorials
Old School Video Game
This was my entry into greyscalegorilla.com ‘s Five Second Project – “Old Video Games” Theme. I created my entry using Cinema 4D for the arcade machine, and Adobe After Effects for the sprites animation. The sprites where acquired from the MAME emulator of the Joust Arcade Game.
RIT Sports Zone Transitions
During this school year at my job(RIT Sports Zone) I switched positions from the Graphic Design department to Motion Graphics. One of the jobs I was asked to do was create transitions for our Live Hockey Show on Time Warner Sports Network. Below are two sets of transitions, one focusing one the hockey puck and stick and the second on the RIT tiger head Logo.
Speed Racer Tribute Animation
This animation was a project that I did for my 2D Computer animation 2 class in the Spring. As you probably can tell, it was done in a 3D “like” environment, courtesy of After Effects 21/2 D enviorment. Not ideal for doing this sort of thing but the project required it. I was able to to get all of the mach 5 features except the headlights.

Serving Up Souls Trailer
This is an animation that I did for two classes, my anime class and digital animation class in the winter, and one of the two versionsI created. This is the trailer verions that I used for the anime class assignment instead of doing the essay. That was no realy restrictions or guide on what to do, at least for the anime class version.
It ended up being more work then the actually eassy but it was allot more fun to do, at least for me. I also had help from a couple of friends who were in the class as well for the some of the art, plot idea, and voices. One of them you can see his art on deviantArt at swiftshade.deviantart.com.

Inanimate Object animation
This animation was producted for my digital animation class during the winter quarter. The object of this assignment was to bring an Inanimate Object to life and give it personallity. I choose a cd. I dont know why I choose that but it seemed cool at the time. Nevertheless it came out ok in the end, some of my perspective are a little off but other then that its good.

Week 12 Cog Animation
This was another video I produced while at my internship freshen year going into sophomore summer. Again I don’t think I really got the After Effects feel into yet but it’s still pretty good.
Week 10 Cog Animation
This is one of the two video I did during my freshmen going into sophomore summer at an internship in NYC at a company called LeadDog Marketing. It was for a one of their clients internal company scavenger hunt contest thing. I think it came out well for what they were looking for but to me it doesn’t really have that After Effects feel to me.
