Summer Is Over :(

Well summer is coming to an end and school is about to start back up. So I thought I'd throw a post here on the old blog. See if I can’t get this old thing running again,...Yeah I know what your thinking!... About freak’n time right! Truth is I wanted to get some work done around the house,..while also knock out a few freelance projects,..got a garage built & painted, an old brick patio laid down..the kinda work that I couldn’t really tackle once school is in the thick of it.

Really looking forward to this semester though, at last I’m done with fundamentals of learning the basics in the VFX programs. Now onto writing and composing my thesis project... in spring if my “Grad” work so far and my thesis proposal presentation don’t live up to standards I might just cry...... so this semester will be fun!

SD test

I test SD clip for the opening sequence...

Now onto re-laying it out HD... & tweaking some resolution in the layers.

Matchanimation!

Rotoscoping a seagull,..3d style :)

J-LO Brewery

I did this quick animation from a photo of the Miller Brewery. I hang out with friends and a neighbors house. Who also happens to work at Miller,... they have a little bar area in their house that they call the J-Lo,..While at the J-Lo we recently discussed our strong feelings about the Miller sign not rotating anymore,.. I never knew it did. It made me want to put this little animation together,... with a little playing around with the name of course :)

Enjoy!

Chimi's home!

Started with Chimi's house...got the placement down and working on the lights and textures on different render layers,... see where it goes??

Creepy!

For Liam's Car

This is a quick painting I did for a neighbors sons remote control car. All he asked was it be some kind of monster that he can print out a sticker of it.

Fun!

A New Hope

The Hope is,.. I get this done,... :)

Working a couple different Matchmoves.,.. this is 2D tracked and calibrated with a 22 mm. Onto the city modeling for it...

Ugly Ray

Getting there with Ugly Ray,..... got the main passes done. Now I just got to tweak some bumps & specs a bit,.. Still got to layer out multiple renders for all other major parts and animate a turntable

to be continued....
