Nickelodeon_lower3rds+bug@SURROUND_projectfreelance

2009.09.01_14:09

Another project for SURROUND. Lower thirds and bug for Nickelodeon’s ‘Massive Movie Monday’ - It wasn’t used by Nick but it was a good exercise in using 3dmax with after effects. All elements, the text for the bug, the stars, and camera with spinning reels was done in 3dmax.

the bug

tada.

I worked for a week on some Nickelodeon ident stuff with this studio SURROUND.  The first batch of animations were for the pitch package to  Nick. Based on illustrators drawings, I 3d modeled their likeness and brought them to life.

best example

each of these was done in around half a day to a day, basically sketches to help give Nickelodeon a better idea of how the illustrations would come to life.


GE lighting styles@Firstborn_projectfreelance

2009.08.14_12:54

While working at Firstborn, I got to help in visualizing two new rooms for the GE lighting styles site.  The project went as smooth as butter and I had a blast working on it and getting it tweaked just right. There was no room to go all photoshop gung-ho since each room needed to be rendered into six versions, each with a single light being added to the scene.

Here was the end result:

Two different styles of the same room.  The first is a ‘dramatic’ theme and the second is an ‘eco’ theme.

Logo #1
So recently I worked on some logos in 3d for Bureau Blank
The first was a logo for a film production house, American Original. The basic need was an earth, an eagle, and the name of the company. Below are the various revisions that went into the logo.

Logo #2
I recreated in 3d a Synergy Ball, a model of a tensegrity sphere. Font/text placement designed by Viktor @ Bureau Blank We had full control over the shapes that made up the sphere, giving us ease in tweaking towards the perfect look for the client.

Elite animation@Bureau Blank_projectfreelance

2009.04.25_19:56

So the last four weeks I’ve been hard at work over at Bureau Blank. I just finished the animation I was working on for them. It was an animation for Elite, a company that designs experiential marketing for brands, explaining their process to their clients. The project turned out to be a minute and a half long. Work was broken down like ‘dis: first week was character and set design and building, second week was building one particular scene to final look and feel status, third week was building out all the rest of the scenes in a similar fashion, leaving the last week to put final touches on the animation and render/composite.

Overall I had a great time at Bureau Blank, getting to spend time with Brendan, Dan, Erin, Leah, and Viktor. Thanks guys!

Here is some of the old images and animatic from the early stages of the project. The final animation will be on my projects page soon. The final animation is listed on the projects page, right below the reel. Check it out!

Hey little guys, what happened here.

Did this yesterday. I shot the footage in my apt with a canon hf-100, characters are cg w/mocap, composited everything with after effects. Before I put it all together I worked up a single frame in photoshop and then transferred all the actions to AE. cheers!
