audio in After Effects.
LOGAN'S RUN - ENHANCED - December 2011:
A project for Retcon-Studios
presenting an enhanced version of the film "Logan's Run".
I created a CGI city in Cinema 4d to replace the outdated model
shots of the film. Additional effects and compositing in After
Effects.

created with Blender 3d, compositing in After Effects and edited
in Premiere.
LATE
NIGHT GRAPHICS - March 2011: Been
a while since an update. Working on a few things that I don't
want to post until finished. However I'd like to share some
graphics I'm creating for a late night on-air promo. Created
in Blender 3d 2.5, with the only light sources being indirect
ambient light from the object materials themselves. There are
no separate lights in the 3d scene. Graphics shown here without
sound.
MARTIAN CHRONICLES REMASTER EARLY TEST - October 2010:
A quick VFX replacement test for Retcon-Studios.
"FUDGY"
AT BURBANK INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL - September 2010:
Harland Williams' film "Fudgy Wudgy Fudge Face" will
be screened as part of the Burbank_International_Film_Festival
September 19th at noon! I had the fun of creating
several shots for this film, including a crashing ufo, stock
film footage of the crash site, opening logo & title sequence
and some hallucinatory images involving donuts and maybe a cow
or two. Below is the raw video (without audio) of what I created
for the film.
SPACE:
2099 BLURAY- August 2010: Actually
this was done a few months ago, but forgot to add it until now.
An animated open and close for a Bluray Space: 2099 "Moon
Rise Edition" teaser promo.
ROBOT
SIZZLE - February 2010: The robot
returns in another FOX 53 promotion featuring a montage of the
station's programming. Included here is a :30, followed by :15
versions focusing on certain genres of shows.
POSTAPOC-ROBOT
- January 2010: Taking that post
apocalyptic look from the freelance project, and adding in my
like of robots, I came up with this little promo for our late
night comedies. Pittsburgh destruction created in Photoshop, the
robot created in Cinema 4d and compositing in After Effects.
ANIMATED
WEB SERIES - November 2009: Started
an experiment to see if I can produce a short animated story for
the web in a relatively short period of time. This was done in
my free time from work, freelance and family, and if a project
of this type was done for an official online production I can
see doing a few of these in a year. As this was done for a test
I used a subject that I enjoyed from back in my childhood... the
original Battlestar Galactica series. The final product runs about
17 minutes in length and is split into two parts as youtube has
a 10 minute maximum. Hope you enjoy.
ITC
LOGO - February 2009: Created an
HD version for the old ITC logo that used to open before shows
like Space: 1999 and The Muppet Show. This is for a presentation
to Granada demonstrating how a property of theirs like Space:
1999 can be remasted and updated, in a similar way CBS has done
with the original Star Trek. Below is a sample showing the original
version (from an old recording) and the revised/remastered version
(as remastered as it can look with the flash video compression).
CLASSIC
TELLY AWARD: For their 30th anniversary
the Telly Awards held a special category for any outstanding
work done over the past 30 years. I submitted a Seinfeld Pinball
promotion I created about 5 or so years ago which was awarded
a Classic Telly. The promo was modeled and rendered in 3D Studio
MAX, with additional effects in After Effects and audio edited
on a Media 100. Below is the spot with two additional spots
created in the 3d Game Theme I was going for.
