Dying Cemeteries Title

My second-ever project in After Effects:

Work In Progress: Dying Cemeteries Title Sequence

Thank you: VideoCoPilot.net for your awesome tutorials!

My first ever After Effects Project

Obviously, it needs work- but I am teaching myself, so give me another few hours to fix it :)

Learning After Effects CS4!

King Fellowship Project

This is my first image from my very first After Effects project. I am currently teaching myself how After Effects works and how to create title movies.

New Project: Short Neuron Animation

I'm currently working on a short neurological animation.

Turkey Summer 2009

I've just gotten back home from a two week tour around Turkey. In the photo, we're standing outside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Istanbul was lots of fun and full of great shopping. There are so many sites to see in Istanbul that it is hard to list them all. The best were: Galata Tower, Bosphorous Cruise, Grand Bazzar, Topaki Place, Blue Mosque, Suleyman Mosque (althought it is currently undergoing restoration), Hagia (Aya) Sophia, Basilica Cisterns (my personal favourite), and the Church of St. Savoir in Chora (also a personal favourite).

Cappadocia, Turkey had the best valley walks and unusual land formations. I got to ride the oldest camel in Cappadocia who was 38 years old.

In Pammukale we swam in the Antique Thermal Pool and walked down the cascading hot springs known as the Cotton Castle. We visited the Hierapolis, which is an ancient Roman city.

In Ephesus we visited the last home of the Virgin Mary, made a wish on the Wish Wall, and visited what remains of the Ancient Wonder of the World: The Temple of Apollo.

We stayed in Kusadasi (pronounced 'kush-ah-das-ee') for three days and soaked up the sun on the beaches and in the Aegean Sea. Kusadasi is best known as one of Turkey's top resort towns.

[More to come]

Very 1st Painting

Here's my very 1st painting I did about a year ago.

Leadership Pressures

There are a lot of pressures and responsibilities when one is named a leader.

Here's what I drew after tonight's leadership class, properly drawn on leadership staitionary:

Jacob says that the worried rabbit (and/or animal thing) closely resembles the face my mother's new dog makes. He may be right :o)

Thank you!

Watch my first ballet animation!

The animation is still a bit choppy, but it's my first ballet animation. I'll add more to it and nCloth dynamics by the end of this month.

My 3d Dance Animation

Work In Progress!!!
I did a dance animation for my character animation final last spring. Since then, I've been working on adding more animation and refining the keys. Currently the tangents are splined, for the smoothest animation results, but most of the animation was done with stepped keys. The choreography is adapted from Polina Seminova's contemporary ballet piece that is very popular among dancers. The music is by: Herbert Grönemeyer, which is also used in the dance piece that Seminova is dancing to. And special thanks to HighEnd 3d for supplying me with the Andy rig! As soon as I get the video compressed, I'll post it here! For now, a still render will do!

Switching gmail accounts and keeping the same blog is a PAIN!

I'm currently trying to set up my new gmail account as my primary blogspot email, so that I can discontinue using my original gmail account that my blog was first set up under. Huge PAIN!

Skull Cap now working in Maya Fur!

It was a relief to get the skull cap working in Maya Fur. I'm not trying to get the Renderman engine to render out both output fur descriptions (one for the body and one for the skull) together, so that I don't have to render them out in separate passes. However, I think it might make sense to render them separately and composite them later. To see the fur pass of the body, please see my older posts.

Newest Painting

Here's my third painting, which is my version of a korean tiger. I was painting this for a friend, Rob, as he was moving from Denver to L.A. It's still not brilliant, but I'm still getting used to using a paint brush.

New Production Blog!
