Had a great time on Friday at the @aepdx event and hearing @jkorenman talk about the future of Motion Design. It was also a nice surprise to see a few of the shots from my recent reel make it on their new website. Thanks again to the folks @aepdx Super nice animation community we’ve got out here! #pdxmotiondesigner #pdxanimation #pixelpusher

Isometric timelapse animation I created for Helium Motion showing the unintended consequences of adding more parking spaces to solve the parking dilemma. An interesting topic I knew nothing about until recently. Henry Grabar explains in his book ,“Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World”, how zoning requirements mandating off street parking for new construction leads to land being wasted and can strangle new development and fuel the affordable housing crisis. The more you know ✌️ #motiondesign #isometricanimation #parkingproblem #urbanplanning #minimumparkingrequirements #animatedtimelapse

A recent promo I animated for Helium Motion. Had fun with match cutting and seamless transitions. Even threw in some cel animation using @toonsquidart Credits: Robert Dyck (lead animator), @isaac_sommers (storyboards and style frames), Nathan Stephens (2 scene contributor), Steven Menegozzi (3D scene contributor), and Jim Wilson (voiceover). #motiondesigner #pdxanimation #animateeverything #pixelpusher #aftereffects #toonsquidart

Retro Girl A personal animation project that started as a character animation exercise and became a 2D/3D mashup exploring every animation tool I could get my hands on.  The concept and original script is by @cameronhollydexter I would have loved to execute all of her ideas, but as a single animator, this was all I had time to complete.   I love Cinema, 2D animation and the giant steps that the animation industry has taken in the past few years merging traditional animation with 3D.  I definitely stretched the limits of my knowledge (and melted my brain) in my own attempt to merge the two. Matching the 3d character model to the 2D design was a definite challenge and the rigging process for both the 2d and 3d characters was extremely time consuming.  I learned a ton in creating this piece.  I also had a great time sculpting the skull, cat, and 3d character hair in @shapelabvr .  It’s amazing using VR to sculpt rather than using Zbrush with a tablet.  An extremely intuitive way to work.   Technical Details: Created with After Effects, Illustrator, Blender, Limber, Rubberhose, Callipeg, Shapelab VR.  3d Animation created with #blender sculpting done in #shapelabvr texturing in #substancepainter #cellanimation for the smoke created with @callipeg.app and Compositing and 2d Character Animation created with #aftereffects 2D Rigging with #limber and #rubberhose.  3d Character Rigged using Autorig Pro.  Shoutout to the wonderful folks @battleaxedotco for all of their amazing AE plugins.  They were a lifesaver and sped up my workflow immensely.                   This dope song is Do You Wanna Ride the Wave by @softboy.com_ licensed through @epidemicsound

Only 364 days until next Halloween. I’m ready. Had such a great time carving pumpkins this year, I tried sculpting my own in 3d with #zbrush along with this big ole tree. #substancepainter for the texturing. #marvelousdesigner for cloth Also enjoyed trying out #blender for the first time. So much cool stuff in there. Lots of confusion went into making this simple scene. #mograph #motiondesign #3d #halloween #halloweenneverends #blenderrender #substancepainter #3dart #jackolantern #pumpkinking #animation #3danimation #render #blendercommunity

Happy Birthday Bela Lugosi! To celebrate the undead legacy of the original bloodsuckers, here’s an animation I created for @soundscares Sound Scares is a unique audio experience created by @lfvone in collaboration with composer @djwaldkirch using sound design to bring you a spooky immersive listening experience. Nosferatu and Vampyr were on my mind while making this one. I had fun using #midjourneyai to generate assets which I then animated using #aftereffects and some 2d frame by frame animation in #photoshop. Check out the @soundscares page and the YouTube page for the full video. Link in bio.

Had a fun time on the lighting team for “That’s Just Tips” from @tpain Directors: @mrhansford and @tpain Love the anamorphic lensing from @ernestolomeli_dp Music videos can be grueling on the lighting side and Mr. Pain was amazing to work with. Hilarious, fun, and totally on point. Awesome watching his performance and love his final edit! Props to the G/E brothers on the lighting side. Looks great! #lighting #electric #musicvideos #tpain #anamorphic #thatsjusttips
