Freestylin’ it with After Effects

(January 2008)

The following is one of the products of a Production-Tools elective at school. I probably worked on this on and off for about a week.  As an exercise, each student was assigned the task of making a short (<1min) documentary about a particular part of our solar system. The images are all pulled off the web from one place or another.

Miles to go before i sleep..

I’ve uploaded another of my concordia projects to the student films section. This one’s using hand-drawn animation and dates back to 2004.

Thinking outside the box

(September 2000)

This was my first animation assignment at Interdec College in 2000. At this point all we knew how to do was manipulate objects using basic transforms. The assignment was to make the six faces of a cube close to form a box. I think we had just begun using XSI 1.0 or 1.5. Remarkably, i think it still holds up. Volumic light always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

The spiders are slacking off

I was informed (Thanks, Dave) that Googling my name continues to bring up links to my old website. Links which do not exist anymore. So instead of waiting around for the spiders (or wallowing in my sudden existential dread), i installed a dummy home.html page with some redirect code. Awesome :D

(I can see my posts becoming less substantial and more frequent, but this does not trouble me).

All done!

The site’s done. I will tweak no more. The header image took some time to get right.. but i think i’m happy with it. The Projects section is also almost complete.. with new content (including video) added to the NEWTONIAN DROP and BOOTY BANDIT pages. The highly anticipated LAST RITES trailer is up too. The documentary is still to come.. but with school starting up again (and with that, the Industry Project i’m working on) that might be a while..


UPDATE (Mar 16 ‘09): LAST RITES docu added.
