SHOTLIST 09 – 01 Bird Intro
t
he intro
with the intro to the reel i decided to do some work in AfterEffects, a very recently aquired skill.
i have to say that i really love AE CS4. while the program can be a little unstable at times when it is jammed full of settings, effects, and un-precomposed comps. the results are absolutely beautiful. (besides, when you hit ctrl+s every 5-10 minutes that’s how you know you’re a creative ‘vet’ right?)
the results are a little nod to two styles of animation that i love very much: old school rotoscoping and the new school of motion graphics.
check out my ‘inspiration’ for the reel for some more details.
SHOT LIST 09 – 05 GAME EFFECTS
I had the pleasure to work on several projects while I was at Liquid Development in Portland, OR. After some various tasks I was lucky enought to step onto the effects team and learned how to work SFX in the amazing Unreal 3 Engine with their tool Cascade. Cascade was great to work with because of its similarities to 3D packages such as Maya. Pretty soon I was making explosions, impacts, and water effects for projects such as Damanation and Borderlands.
