It's a simple foreground over background composite with each element rendered separately out of Maya. The scale is a little off, but that's how it goes. Rather than try to perfect this shot, I am going to move on and come up with something better! Next up will be the second half of my final last semester, the 300 Field Scene. Then I will start some serious yet flexible R&D on the opening shot for my thesis, the creation of light.

I have been working on more of a film resolution look and I settled on 1440 x 600. The ipod compression knocked it down to 640 x 266. I also worked on compositing seperate layers but was having some issues with the geometry mattes so I just rendered it straight out of Maya. This is more research for the look of my thesis, so keep an eye out for my next shot, a plasma tunnel fly through!

For those of you who don't know what particles are, it is a 3d reproduction of physics and natural phenomenon such as smoke, fire, objects falling with gravity and colliding with each other. The assignment was to propel the car up a ramp, through a ring of fire and then smash through a wall of ice. One of my favorite part of this assignment was rendering out each element seperately for composit ...

The assignment was to key and motion track using high definition video. the original BG plate we 1920 x 800 and my foreground element we 1920 x 1080. I pulled multiple keys on the hair, arm, guitar, shirt and motion tracked garbage mattes to pull them in. It's a little goofy but I was going for a music video bas ...

The VFX that comprise the video are just as fiery as the music! I have been playing g ...

Thanks to Robert Spriggs for letting me use the song "Ejector Seat". Please google him and check out some more of his work. The initial title for this cartoon was The Spam Bandit, after I was pegged for spamming the Adobe After Effects and Premiere forum boards. Through feedback from another 3d animation forum I decided to change the title to El Spam Bandito and introduce Carlos. I was encouraged by a former co-worker to include a ...

Inspired by a trip to San Francisco, CA. I took once when I worked for the County of Santa Cruz. I hardly ever went to SF and I misjudged the timing. Next thing I was stuck in heavy traffic and going the wrong way! I was extremely late for my meeting, which was a luncheon/pow wow of local government audit managers. No, I wasn't the audit manager, I was supposed to meet the audit manager there (and get 8 hours of education credits). An ...

In it, Jim and Reggie can't decide whether to lounge around the house or go out for a snack. First I wrote the script and then recorded the voices into Acid. I used Mimic to create the lip sync files and applied those files to 3d models and rendered them out of Poser.
