This is a short 5 second animation done in Cinema 4D and Aftereffects. It’s more of an experiment than anything else.

I am very happy to share my latest work titled “Tarot”. This project was created in a collaboration with Sara Cheung over the course of about 6 weeks. The goal was to create a short infographic informing the audience on the subject of tarot cards.

The process of building this piece was quite large, involving many steps from hand drawing illustrations, working with professional voice talent, to heavy 3D animation. It was a big process from start to finish, but in the end we created something we are both happy with.

Check out the video below.

Tarot is a motion piece currently in production by myself and the talented Sara Cheung. This image is a picture of a few of the assets we have put together so far. The scope of this project is quite large, but we are well into production and should have no major problems hitting the dead line. Stay tuned for some more early looks of this project as we get closer to completion.

I have been working on a title sequence for a short movie called Mortecai. The film is a mockdocumentry about a vampire who wants to be a Hollywood star, but unfortunately, can not be seen on camera. The film is a final project directed by a student in the VFS Film program.

Besides the basic goals of any title sequence, things like capturing the feel of the movie, I had a few specific things I wanted to do with this piece. As a designer who works a lot of the time on the computer, I have been feeling the desire to step away from it on some of my projects, and really start pulling in some more traditional elements, much like I see in the work of my some favorite designers from the past. After watching a rough edit of this movie, and talking with the director, I immediately knew what direction I wanted to take this project, and I felt it would really compliment the style of the film. After pitching the concept to the director, and him liking what I was describing, I sat down and really explored and experimented with this piece.

It was interesting to look around me at others working on different films. I could see them on their computer’s working with the typical digital tools, mean while I had a pair of scissors in my hand.

The final titles is three still images, with a little camera movement over top of them, and the look of them being projected through an old film projector. It’s just a short sequence, clocking in at just 12 seconds, but the director was really happy with the final result, accomplishing exactly what he was looking for.

This was just a small exercise in 3D, but people have been asking what I have been working on since my last post, so here it is. It should be a quick load for your viewing pleasure. I am really looking forward to developing my 3D skills further so I can really start adding them into my other projects. That will be a big focus for me in the next stage of things. I am currently feeling a little like there is not enough time in the day. I have lots of things I want to explore, and am exploring, but I am feeling a little torn between them currently.
