Here is where i spent the last 6 months of my life. Working with the boys at National Television cranking out 800+ deliverables in HD for the ESPN U channel. Below is a montage that Brumby cut together for the National site. I plan on posting full animations hopefully in the near future. There are [...]
2009 was definitely the year of Realflow for me. I believe this Robitussin pitch was my third Realflow job of the year. Two too many in my opinion. This job went to the way-side for Imaginary Forces due to some communication problems with the client unfortunately. Could have been a fun 3d project, but I’m [...]
My third project for Superfad. Worked on the end shot and helped out in modeling a few objects for one of their many Sprint Now Network campaigns.
My first project for Superfad. Met alot of cool chill peeps there. Great place to work for. Worked with Will Campbell (AD) and David Clayton (The 3d guy, not the art director from Picture Mill) Number two of three Realflow jobs I’ve done for 2009. In 2010, I swear I’m only going to allow for [...]
Worked with Stan Lim on this one at Imaginary Forces. All the splashes are done in Realflow. Also below is a sample of a mega-simulation i did to test my “splashbox”. Sorry for the low quality movie, ill try to update with a higher quality version once i get my grubby little hands on a [...]
A small quickie project me and Robin worked on for Iron Claw back in early 2008. Believe it was for a web campaign. Maya and After Effects.
It’s too bad this didn’t make the cut for Transformers 2 the movie main title. This could have been a really rad main title sequence. I worked with Noah Olmstead and Nate Homan on this 2 week conceptual phase/pitch for Imaginary Forces. Storyboarding out billions of moving/tranforming parts wasn’t a good idea, so instead we [...]
This has to be my absolute favorite project so far this year.
It was one of those projects that posed new technical/creative problems but were truly fun to figure out.
This was a fun one. National loved how the Red cameras performed on their Friskies commercial and wanted to use them again. I was stoked too. Was my first shoot using the Red camera setup.
After coming home from a nice 5 week vacation in Southeast Asia, I came back to LA and jumped over to National to help on this lil gem.
I was mostly there for some 3d support. The deadline was a little hairy and the boys needed some backup.
I worked on the initial oil drop, grass duties, the kite, hot air balloon, and lighting/rendering.
Some early development style frames for Hancock the feature film. This was done with PIC. Designed some crazy looking trees for a dream sequence that didn’t make the final cut.
Summer of ’07 was my first time back to Stardust since 2003-ish. Amy Kaufman from Stardust inticed me with this project. Seeing how my wife and I are HUGE tennis fanatics ( Honor’s tennis blog ), I was easily convinced in driving all the way to the west side for this one.

This was another fun project with National. Involved National concepting probably 30+ different vignettes representing 60′s- 70′s nostaligia for the mini-van.
I supervised the car shoot for the end section and lead the 3d team.
I made the lava lamp opener with Realflow, the oil section, the disco rearview mirror, and tracked the Nav screen with BouJou.

This was one of those “turbo” projects that was conceptualized, animated, and finished within 8 or 9 days at National.
Hansoo Im modeled, Kevin Walker and I animated, and I composited in After Effects.

One of my first projects with brother in a long time at Hi-ground.
This was the first iteration of the Narnia teaser trailers and graphics. This is my favorite version of the marketing campaign i made for Imaginary Forces. Unfortunately the final campaign got watered down or completely abbreviated.
I created the forest, lamp, cloud transition, mountains, snow shader, frozen lake shader, and composited a bulk of the animation.
