Digital Storytelling [Final]

The following was the final assignment for Digital Storytelling, a class I took in the Fall at Drexel.
For the assignment my group and I created a movie trailer spoof of the Super Mario Brothers games.
The short was created  in about 6 hours using Photoshop CS5, After Effects CS5, ZSNES, and Final Cut Pro.
My group members included Jenna Dundas and Darielle Brown-Davis.
Voices were provided by Myself and Darielle Brown-Davis.

Multimedia Timeline Design [Final]

Our final in the aforementioned Multimedia Timeline Design was to emulate the preproduction process for a provided script or music video for the song of our choosing. In other words, we created treatments shot lists, story outlines, visual storyboards, and ultimately an animatic of our story/video.
 For my project I chose to create a music video for the Dead Man's Bones song "My Body's a Zombie for You".
 The final output (the animatic) was created using Photoshop CS5 & After Effects CS5.

Many thanks to Dead Man's Bones for music and inspiration.

Multimedia Timeline Design [Weekly]

These works were created in DIGM252: Multimedia Timeline Design, during the Fall Quarter of 2010. The class serves as an introduction to timeline based media (e.g. animation) creation as well as the pre-production process.

The pieces featured here are a sampling of the weekly assignments put forth by the always eccentric Prof. Ted Artz (which makes the explanation and breakdown of each clip somewhat....difficult). Suffice to say that Adobe After Effects CS5 was used for each. Please Enjoy.  

Organic Modelling Audit

 While on break last summer I was able to sit in on the brand new Organic Modelling class at Drexel. During that time I began using Luxology's Modo. I found Modo to be a smoother, less clunky modelling environment which allows for a more rhythmic and efficient workflow. The sceencaps below are examples of early models I created in Modo.

Pardon the Delay.

Many apologies for neglecting to post over the past several months. During that time I have been quite busy working on many school and personal projects and have been overly lax in my blogging practices. That said, I intend to bring Ctrl+Alt+Z up to date with the current growth of my personal portfolio. In an effort to maintain continuity, I will upload these posts in order of creation, oldest pieces first. Said posts will be tagged with the "Welcome Back" label. Once we are back up to speed with the things I am working on, I will retire the Welcome Back label, so that it is clear what is new and what is not. Thanks for playing along, and Welcome Back!
