character fur grooming
With
a model of a stylized character, I groomed the fur of the creature
using Maya Fur.
flower
match to live 
I
received inspiration from a photograph and used Maya to model
the objects and match the lighting. In Adobe Photoshop I painted
the textures for the flowers, table, and glass then rendered
in Mental Ray and composited layers in Shake.
matte
painting
The
original photo for this image is a local golf course that is
currently undergoing construction. In Adobe Photoshop I used
the original photo then composited water, mountains and trees
to create a serene feeling.
lighting
day to night
For
this piece I took reference images from my own bedroom then
used Maya to recreate the effects of light at different times
of the day.
elixir
A
fellow student was in need an outdoor scene of Poland in the
1920s for his film. I assembled a team and we used Maya to model
and light the scene then Mental Ray to render.
candle
match to live
I imported this photo, taken by a fellow student, into Maya
and matched the perspective, lighting, and texture of the original
candle.
abstract
world
I
created this abstract world with nurbs in Maya then textured
them with procedural shaders.
in camera effect
With
the help of a friend and a car model I was able to create this
perspective trick with no computer post-production.
animated
typography
In this piece I used a Frank Sinatra song and animated the lyrics
in After Effects. My goal was to create something vibrant and
playful.
bible
project
This is the
first video I ever made. In high school our professor had us
come up with a community service project and document it. A
strong sense of nostalgia has persuaded me to share the video.
