Compost
For my final in Compositing and Special effects I attempted to create self-portrait. Partially inspired by artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn and biologist Donna Haraway, I wanted to look at the the idea of compositing as the self and the self as compost. This project involved masking found footage, motion tracking, green screen lighting/keying and using video overlay techniques.
2 in 3
For this project I used an outer space theme to create an infographic for Madison College’s new 2 degrees in 3 years program. The project required me to create custom illustrations in Adobe Illustrator, write/record a script and animate everything in Adobe After Effects.
1Q84
A title sequence for a movie that doesn’t exist. 1Q84 is a novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. This project was a collaboration with fellow Murakami fan and artist Sarah Kdosi. Sarah provided the visuals and I provided the original music. The music was composed from samples I created from the piece “Sinfonietta” by Leoš Janáček, a pivotal song referenced in the novel.
Robinia Courtyard Video
This project was a promotional video for the restaurants in Robinia Courtyard: Jardin, Black Locust, and Madison Tap. The purpose of this video was to use an interview with the owner, Jon Reske, to highlight the unique 3 restaurants in one location concept. Filmed on DSLR and Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Demo Reel
This piece opens on a composite of 3D objects and a motion tracked animation created specifically for this piece. I’d like to focus on post-production work and motion graphic work. My demo reel is designed to reflect this tendency.
WE ARE ALCHEMISTS.
We take raw elements like light & shadow, 0’s & 1’s,
time & sound, line & color, and make them communicate.
We create, we transform.
We make people feel, learn, think, sit up, and pay attention.
We are brilliant, talented, and skilled.
We are alchemists.
WE ARE GOLDEN.
