Shot Breakdown

The Journey of Oz

This project is an in-progress animation. I built and animated the characters in Lightwave. The backdrop is a hand-built miniature. The miniature was lit, photographed, and finally composited in with the CG elements in After Effects. All of the rain and camera motion was done in After Effects.

The Adventures of Mr. Rat

The rat and oil were animated by using drawing tools in Flash to draw frame by frame animation (no tweens). The style of the animation is intentionally loose and quick. The other scene elements were created in Photoshop. Compositing and final animations were done in After Effects. Note that the "and Friends" part of the title is in reference to the music to the original short.

Aquarium Title

The title was done in Shake by compositing together various footage I shot on a Canon XL2.

Shark Exhibit Interactive Kiosk

This interactive piece is for my Shark Exhibit renovation project. It was built with Flash and I programmed it in ActionScript 3. It features multi-touch input. The shark was animated through a frame by frame animation that was done free-hand.

3D Computer Graphics

Both shots were done in Lightwave. I modeled the spaceship in the first shot and I rigged and modeled the birds in the second shot.

Matte Painting

The mattes were put together in both Photoshop and After Effects. The train in the second shot was modeled by myself in Lightwave. The video plates were shot in collaboration with other people.
