TETRIS WORLD
September 15th - 29th 2023
The prompt for this project was to create a world around a simple game of Tetris. Everything seen here was made of solids within After Effects. Transparency effects were used to create beams of light such as the ones found on the UFO. The velocity tool was used to make movements from the ship and can more natural.
FULL SCREEN GRAPHIC
September 27th - October 5th 2023
The Electric Cafe Productions video was inspired by other production company intros found at the beginning of various movies from the 80s and 90s. The logo was created in Adobe Illustrator and the ASCII art mug is a simple text animation. The end product was transferred to a VHS tape and re-digitized to amplify the retro feel.
Holographic display
November 7th - November 14th 2023
This project blends computer effects and practical lighting to add depth to the scene. The waveform effect in After Effects was used for the music segment of the video. Sound effects were sampled from various Sega Genesis games in combination with the use of grids for a retro aesthetic.
3D Cityscape
October 9th - 27th, 2023
This video is based on the manga and film Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo. The Cityscape was created using flat building textures and arranged in 3D space. The bike was a physical model that was 3D printed, painted, and filmed in front of a green screen. I was also filmed in front of the green screen and masked on top of the bike.
FILM SCENE ROTOSCOPE
May 2nd - May 9th 2023
Using chroma key tools and animated masks I edited myself into a scene from Robocop, directed by Paul Verhoeven. I had to wear an appropriate outfit and do extensive color grading so I would blend in with the other characters in the scene. Additional scanlines were overlayed on top of the original to further blend the new footage in with the pre existing ones.
