Impressing PEOPLES

Trying to impress during a job application

Nebula

Aside from the music, which was composed in Logic, this was all generated, comped and rendered using Adobe After Effects.

Liquid L

Geometry triangulated and exported from Maya. Particles/fluid animated in Real Flow and rendered using Maxwell. Audio in Logic X.

Night Before Christmas

First off, I'll admit that a lot of this video is really bad ... I was brand new to After Effects and I was pushing my limits. I took as many of Andrew Kramer's tutorials as I could, and pieced them together, as creatively as possible, to form a story. I then burnt this story to DVD and gave it as a Christmas gift. Let's count the Video Copilot tuturials, in order ... Smoke Screen, Disintegration, Flip-Book Motion, Earth Zoom, Day to Night Conversion, Submerged, Frosty Breath, 3D Camera Projection, 3D Light Casting ...

Christmas DVD Menu

The DVD intro/menu that I made, in After Effects, for part of a Christmas present.

SoulPlay Ball

Created in After Effects using the first SoulPlay logo ever !! Music by Dizzee Rascal.

SoulPlay Barbed Wire

I made this when I was first playing with 3D layers in After Effects. It's based on a tutorial by Andrew Cramer, of Video Copilot, though I made my own variations on the theme.

Psycho

When I put this together I was rehearsing for a contemporary dance version of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The show's artistic director, Lane Hunter, chose a piece of music by Go Percussion for part of the soundtrack. This video's music, which I made in Apple Logic, is meant to sound like the before mentioned song by Go Percussion. The visual elements, including the falling and splattering rain, the rain drops streaking down the glass, and the text, were all created and composited in After Effects.

Glowing Molten Sphere

Something I created in After Effects, without anything necessarily in mind.

Star Burst

Created and composited in Adobe After Effects.

SoulPlay Traffic Light

Created and composited using After Effects. The background footage is real, but everything else is generated using shapes and filters.

Splash Text

I took a concept of Andrew Cramer's, from Video Copilot, and modified it slightly. Created in Adobe After Effects.

Tangled Intro

This was meant to be the intro for one of my videos when it was played at the Polaris Dance Theatre show, Tangled. The elements were created in Autodesk Maya and then composited in After Effects.

Fluid Sphere

I was trying to create a water-like blob, but entirely in After Effects.

SoulPlay Ripples

I wanted to see what I could do, in After Effects, to create ripples and caustics. No audio.
