Impressing PEOPLES

Trying to impress during a job application

Polaris Intro

One of the first motion graphics bits I did ... way back in 2008, using Apple Motion and Soundtrack Pro. Not too bad for the beginning of my "career".

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.

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.

Breaking Me

A copycat intro/promo video that I created in After Effects. I would argue that I know the elemental periodic table better now than I did in General and Organic Chemistry.

Polaris iChange Promo

A promo for Polaris Dance Theatre's show iChange ... compiled from a bunch of standard-definition footage. The music is arranged/composed by Robert Guitron, though I took a few liberties while editing the sound. Final Cut Pro and Logic.

Devine Funk Promo

I threw this video together in a few hours, using footage captured on two different cell phones. I also mixed/mashed the music that accompanies it. Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro.

All-Angles Design

Developed with my buddy Mikah's All-Angles Design company in mind ... Maya and After Effects.

Tracy Underwood

A very short animation, meant for a Flash website, done in After Effects. No audio.

Tracy Underwood - Venus Teaser 2

The second Venus teaser. After Effects and Soundtrack Pro.

Tracy Underwood - Venus Teaser 1

I worked with local singer Tracy Underwood, and her manager, to throw-out a couple of promo ideas for her album. After Effects and Soundtrack Pro.

SoulPlay Productions Intro

This intro/promo sequence may look familiar to you ... I was imitating something else that I saw and liked. I'm not completely satisfied, and would make the camera movement more dynamic if I did it over again, but it's worth sharing. Maya, After Effects and Soundtrack Pro.

Polaris - Hand Picked Preview

This was a short video that Polaris had me make to promote one of their studio shows. It was shot using a Canon HV40, and HFM31. All editing was accomplished using Final Cut Pro, and I think I used GarageBand to chop the music.

Polaris - Tangled Promo

A promotional video for Polaris' show, Tangled. I was only one of a couple videographers capturing the event, so the footage comes from multiple sources. Video editing was done in Final Cut Pro, and the music was conceived in Soundtrack Pro.

Wobbly Dance

Wobbly Dance performing at Polaris' Simple Pleasures. This was shot using a Canon HV40 (high def) and edited primarily in Final Cut Pro. The intro was created and composited in Photoshop and After Effects.
