Scuse me while I tap myself on the back. This is just one of the rooms I've been working on for the virtual Reality training space I have been designing. The team came together and did an amazing job of bringing this vision and creative solution to life. Those big black rectangles are video screens that play information about whatever hologram you select.

AKIRA - QUICK ACTION RECORDER

Watch out when the land of the rising son animates on one's.

Finally finished up the background for the animation example for the students final project. This assignment is all about camera movement. You won't get to see the entire factory in the animation and the animation camera really takes the viewer for a ride.

Earth Month - Net Zero

Just finished this very clean and corporate motion graphic for Southern Company. This one felt a bit like pulling teeth to get through. They had a reference video that had considerably more visual elements in it. They are going through a re-brand right now so all the typical assets are being fazed out. It left me with this one building scape and very un-creatie graphic designer created to push and pull around the screen in different ways to keep it engaging.

There are some classics in here I defently forgot about. Which one do you remember the most? Rock-a-doodle was a VHS go to for me.

The Care Organizations 2019 Women's Empowerment Intro

This was a great project to be apart back in 2019. I was blown away by the detail and passion everyone on the team brought to the table for this conferene. This video was played before some truly inspiring women share their stories and missions. People that have had lives filed with more struggle and perserveance then I could ever even begin to comprehend.

Such a strange place. I can decide if I would feel stylish swimming around in here, or some feeling of disassociation within the space.

That scarf really isn't a re-design. Gotta love the way the 70s pushed character design across all industries.

The evolution of the Jolly Green Giant character.

Ship Interior finished for this Joy of Flying Animation. Pretty happy with it and awfully glad I slowed down and took the time to really render this. Doing the chair was a bit of strain as the Pilot will be covering this area up during the animation.

The Joy of Flying 2.0 - With After Effects

This is an interesting next step for this project. I have all the after effects in place. But the plane isn't completed and neither is the pilot at the start. I'd like to say this was to show the students how to focus and build their animations in the most important parts first. In this case the focus is on the thrusters, smoke, wake , etc. I can't wait to see this plane all shaded with highlights and details as well as the pilot looking like a bad ass that's going to really push this over the top.

Love it they kept the under drawings in the tattoo. The more you look at it there is so much detail and respect for the original pencil renders for each of these.

House float becomes a permanent tribute to the women of New Orleans music

Headed to NOLA? Want to see a piece of living art? This is my friends project and it's amazing how she has captured the hearts of the city with her creativity. So proud of her.

Mardi Gras may have passed, but Tricia Diamond’s house float isn’t going anywhere. The design, titled “New Orleans Queens of Sound and Soul,” is meant to be a permanent piece

Just getting started on the flight animation. I'll post the full background below. It's going to be sickkkk.

02/23/2021

One of my favorite parts about teaching is getting to hear what the students projects are going to be about. It's a great chance to help them perhaps push the cinematic value of their concepts, and work through any potential stumbling blocks. Below are just a few of the quick in class sketches from hearing their ideas and drawing out key frames or shot setup.
