Clark Testing

Another quick post to share this project! This is a corporate video that I animated in collaboration with Legion Media. Legion provided the direction and video assets, while I created the animations, and composited and motion tracked the footage!

By the way, there are two things that I learned on this project:

1.) RED footage is awesome for matchmoving. The clarity is outstanding!
2.) PFHoe is an amazing piece of software. Stable tracks have never been so quick and painless.

Keep checking back, we have more exciting things in the works!

I'm really excited to share this recently completed project.  This is a promotional animation for EZshift.com. Josh really took the helm on this one, and it's a great showcase of his character animation skills!  Which reminds me, his profile is finally up as well, so check it out by clicking the "About Us" link at the top of the page!

Goodwill "Donate Movement"

Hello again!  I wanted to quickly drop this new project off on the homepage so everyone can take a look!  This was animated for Legion Media and Goodwill Industries, as a long format promo for the Donation Movement.  It has been shown at Goodwill events and will be used online to promote the movement!  Take a look!

Duquesne Beer "Flowerpot"

I recently completed this :15 commercial for Duquesne Beer, with the original concept and direction coming from Legion Media.  I animated and composited all of the FX shots, and even wrote and recorded the music! There were a few sleepless nights involved, but we pulled through with a product that we are all very proud of! If you're interested in seeing more of our work, head on over to the Portfolio page!
