Here's a job I did for Little Red Robot, it was for a conference for Google's OSO divisions. I did this whole thing all big like, 1920 by 1080. I was staggered by how much processing and render time it took with three computers cranking on something simple like this. I used google earth for the initial pull out from Google headquarters, I used video Gogh for the chalk like effects, and c4d for the 3d animations. I am using CS_Tools almost entirely for camera moves in c4d now. Actually, I use cs_Tools for just about everything in c4d. The image_plane script plus cs_tools pretty much gets rid of a lot of my need for AE, except for the fact that making stuff in AE still warms the cockles of my heart. I need some sort of joy to get me though the day in these end-of-days, economic collapse-y good times. I also have some other corporate work to upload- stuff that just isn't quite interesting enough for the front page, but I should probably have uploaded somewhere anyway. I also have worked on a bunch of work that I don't own, so can't show, (a lot of which was created for a certain "fruit" company) but I might find some creative ways to at least show some of the processes of creating it here.
I'm kind of having fun going through old projects to post stuff. Should I post on the main page? Who knows. This project was for an architect friend who was entering a contest called "free the box". It was for a new jersey locale where they were reclaiming shipping containers to be used in some kind of mixed use residential environment. My friend Ashton (the designer), concepted his ideas in google sketch up, but then reprinted them and hand drew everything, giving it a friendly, sketchy, and loose (dare I say "Juno"-esque?) kind of vibe, so I tried to pick a color scheme and identity that would match that aesthetic. I can see this stuff in motion.
I haven't been exactly diligent about keeping up appearances, this blog, the front page of the site, or updates of any kind. I have a lot of deritus and fill in graphics work that 1)hasn't really been categorized, 2)isn't really motion graphics, or 3)I felt the distaste of client relations still in my mouth to keep me from posting the work here. But, like whiskey, things sometimes improve with age. I will try and "micro" post some old and new work up here before I do a "Major" revision to my front page.
Anywho, here's some work from waaayy back in 2006, some book covers and marketing material junk I designed at my time with Ursa Minor Arts & Media. There's more around here somewhere, I just thought I would try and get some little posts up here and there.
Projects include "Death on the learning curve", "Love is the solution", "Yoga Moods", The Earthdance Festival, and the Harmony Festival.
