Skate deck design…there. It’s actually been quite refreshing to design in print again. After last month of almost nothing but setting type (a lot more fun than it actually sounds, and the fruits of which can be seen in my new branding) I was craving to make something immobile again. This month did not disappoint. Take this for what you will, I don’t really want to explain it as the point is to be somewhat ambiguous. Personally, I see clouds, but again, it’s up to you. It was really more about creating a serene mood than anything else. Ashley Nieves made an awesome one, though I doubt it’ll be on her blog. I really wish she’d start posting again. Sometime soon (hopefully), be ready for a revamp of this, a never before seen revamp of part of this, the completed version of this, and the long-in-the-works premiere of this (which actually led to this. Phew, do yourself a favor and Command click on those. Have you seen this by the way? It was a personal project, but I feel it didn’t get enough love. In fact, be sure to check out all of these. They’re all gold. Except for the ones that aren’t.

Coke spot. Self-explanatory. Sound by the Chemical Brothers.

Redux of my Bumper Project. As you can see, I went in a radically different art direction, but I tried to keep the spirit of the original intact. I’d just gotten my Canon T1i and tried out the movie mode. By the by, if you have it, never film in 720, as it looks horrendous.

Project for Full Sail University. First off, let me start by saying that I am not actually that vain. The entire interview and redundant credits were a class requirement; otherwise I’d never stick this mug in front of the camera. However, I don’t hate it, and I do have some aspects of Motion Graphics in it, so I’m putting it up. Who knows, you might find it useful if you’re ever in desperate need of animating a 2D lime.

P.S. Can you spot the cameo by Ashley Nieves?

Up there is the first of two assignments for Motion Graphics Project at Full Sail. We were to create and brand a broadcast graphics package for a fictitious channel/TV show. I came up with a music channel- mainly beacuse I think it allowed the most freedom- called MAV. That’s short for maverick; it has no affiliation with the senator from Arizona and means to reflect that the station would play videos for indie music. I went for a very 80s eye candy feel with this, and it was my first official foray into Cinema 4D. In order, you see a 10-second bumper, an animated transition into a loopable background with a bug overlaid, another form of a transition, a lowerthird title bar, and finally, the opener for the show. Music for the bumper and video is “My Girls” by Animal Collective, whereas the opener is “Onyx” by Cold Storage, from the Wipeout Pure soundtrack. And yes, that is indeed the Feisar.
EDIT: Here’s an updated version of the opener.

Howdy, all. Here is my final for Advanced Motion Graphics. It’s a 30-second music visualization video for a song of our choosing. I chose to do M83’s “Moonchild”, as it’s one of my favorite songs ever. I get such a strong emotion and imagery whenever I listen to that song, so I wanted to convey that same emotion and sense of awe in the video. First off, it was such a pain to cut this song into 30 seconds. I really wanted the slow intro in there to set the scene (I tried it without, and it didn’t work well) which meant that the end gets kind of cut off. That was the opinion of some of my peers, but I guess the end doesn’t really bother me since the song just continues on in my head. I really wanted an ethereal and ambiguous feel in this piece and I was heavily influenced by “2001: A Space Odyssey”; and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the band was, too. Some people had trouble with the upside down launch shot and I couldn’t really explain my reasoning behind it that well, but I just wanted to change up the perspective. My friend, Yaric, articulated it pretty well, in that gravity is all relative. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with it; if anything, I would have liked to have made it longer.

Here I’ve got my first project for Advanced Motion Graphics. We were assigned to either market a product we normally wouldn’t touch with an 11-foot pole (that’s one extra foot than usual), or to market something for a demographic outside our own. Having a leprous disdain for sports all my life, I naturally chose to make a commercial for the NFL. My brother, a league hopeful -watch out for him in the coming years- ought to be pleased. My idea behind this was to mimic videogame HUDs (heads up displays, for the uninitiated), mainly from the Halo series. Music is “Machine Gun” by Portishead, and it was made with Illustrator and After Effects.

It’s been a while, but I had a two month class so there wasn’t really anything to put up last month. This is my final for my Editing Digital Video and, by extension, Digital Video class. The intro and outro I tried to make look like ink spilling on canvas with a touch of the falling letters that I’m oh so fond of. As for the red bars, I wanted to give the video some texture as it looked flat from having desaturated the blues. I animated them reacting to the change of speakers, which I hope think gives them personality and makes the bars feel like they’re a character in the documentary. Special thanks goes out to -in alphabetical order- Mike Bennett (he really needs to put up a blog), Wes Kandel, Mark Koenov, and Ashley Nieves for being my willing and most-talented guinea pigs.
Made with a slew of applications.
