Mon, 13 Aug 2007 18:13:00 GMT

Here is the plasma tunnel. It's a simple foreground over background composite with each element rendered separately out of Maya. The scale is a little off, but that's how it goes. Rather than try to perfect this shot, I am going to move on and come up with something better! Next up will be the second half of my final last semester, the 300 Field Scene. Then I will start some serious yet flexible R&D on the opening shot for my thesis, the creation of light.

Hi folks! Here is a shot that I came up with in the last week. I have been working on more of a film resolution look and I settled on 1440 x 600. The ipod compression knocked it down to 640 x 266. I also worked on compositing seperate layers but was having some issues with the geometry mattes so I just rendered it straight out of Maya. This is more research for the look of my thesis, so keep an eye out for my next shot, a plasma tunnel fly through!

Wall Of Ice 062407

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 17:54:00 GMT

Hi, and welcome to demo reel! This is the final for my particles class this past Spring semester. For those of you who don't know what particles are, it is a 3d reproduction of physics and natural phenomenon such as smoke, fire, objects falling with gravity and colliding with each other. The assignment was to propel the car up a ramp, through a ring of fire and then smash through a wall of ice. One of my favorite part of this assignment was rendering out each element seperately for compositing, as you can see in the shot breakdown. I really enjoy this type of work, so look for more dynamic simulations down the line!

300 Wolf Scene 061207

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 20:06:00 GMT

Hi Folks! This shot is half of my final assignment for a compositing class at the Academy. I downloaded a trailer for the movie 300 and then shot some greenscreen footage of myself. The assignment was to key and motion track using high definition video. the original BG plate we 1920 x 800 and my foreground element we 1920 x 1080. I pulled multiple keys on the hair, arm, guitar, shirt and motion tracked garbage mattes to pull them in. It's a little goofy but I was going for a music video based on the soundtrack for a movie kinda look. Of course, color correction played a big part. I addedd a fake snow over the top and adjusted the final resolution. It's only 50 frames so don't blink!

Thesis Shot 4 Previsualization

Fri, 18 May 2007 17:14:00 GMT

Hi folks, welcome to my demo reel! This shot is the final project for one of my classes at the Academy of Art for the Spring 2007 semester. It is a previsualization of shot 4 of my thesis called "3 Days".

In this shot, we see the creation of land and plants. I also wrote and performed the guitar tracks which may sound familiar. They are based on some of my favorite Pink Floyd and CCR riffs.

Keep an eye out for my finished thesis in June of 2008. It will feature a rockin' soundtrack performed by me featuring some familiar riffs and licks from Rimsky Korsakov's "The Flight of the Bumblebee", Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 4", Rossini's "William Tell Overture", the theme from "Jaws" as well as variations on the tunes heard here.

The thesis is about the first 3 days of creation as told in the account of Genesis. The soundtrack will be used as a structure to build the visual effects around. It will be about 2-3 minutes long.

Inside mp3

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 19:20:00 GMT

Hi folks, this is the mp3 for the upcoming music video "Inside". I recorded it exclusively with Garage Band. Guitars, bass and vocals were recorded live - yes that's my voice! The drum tracks were stock loops. If you heard any of the music that accompanied some of the previous posts I've made then you should really dig this.

The video is almost done, just a few tweaks here and there. The VFX that comprise the video are just as fiery as the music!

I have been playing guitar and writing songs for about 24 years and I have a music degree. I decided to integrate my musical and VFX skills because the music gives me a good story to work with. Once the music is done then I start visualizing elements that would go well with a certain section of music.

Subscribe now so you don't miss the video!

The initial title for this cartoon was The Spam Bandit, after I was pegged for spamming the Adobe After Effects and Premiere forum boards. Through feedback from another 3d animation forum I decided to change the title to El Spam Bandito and introduce Carlos. I was encouraged by a former co-worker to include a female character.

San Frisco Demo Reel 11 062606

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 21:59:00 GMT

This is the second Sketch Boys animation I came up with. Inspired by a trip to San Francisco, CA. I took once when I worked for the County of Santa Cruz. I hardly ever went to SF and I misjudged the timing. Next thing I was stuck in heavy traffic and going the wrong way! I was extremely late for my meeting, which was a luncheon/pow wow of local government audit managers. No, I wasn't the audit manager, I was supposed to meet the audit manager there (and get 8 hours of education credits). Anyways, it was an embarrasing moment and the audit manager actually wrote me up for being 4 hours late! Ironically, the meeting was held in the Veteran's Hall across the street from one of the Academy of Art buildings, before I ever thought of going back to school! Shortly thereafter I quit that job and now I travel to SF on a regular basis to attend classes at the Academy of Art! Is that weird or what?

Fri, 9 Jun 2006 00:34:00 GMT

This is the first episode in a five part series called The Sketch Boys I made last year with a few inexpensive programs like Poser 4, Acid 4.0 and Mimic. In it, Jim and Reggie can't decide whether to lounge around the house or go out for a snack. First I wrote the script and then recorded the voices into Acid. I used Mimic to create the lip sync files and applied those files to 3d models and rendered them out of Poser.

Film Noir Demo Reel 06 020406

Mon, 6 Feb 2006 05:20:00 GMT

This is a really popular shot. I took a still image from "The Maltese Falcon" and painted out the parts I didn't want the audience to see. I filmed myself lip synching the dialog and after I composited the whole thing it matched up pretty good. I added noir elements, shadows and old film effects to seam it all together.

Demo Reel 01 011506

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 05:53:00 GMT

Here is my demo reel as of January 16, 2006. It is a collection of the best visual effects (VFX) and computer generated (CG) animation shots I completed last semester. I did all the animation, compositing and music except for the last scene. That is a collaboration with an actor named Ryan Cox who spoke the words of Job. Stay tuned for the shot breakdown where I show you how step by step how I made the shots. Adam
