After Effects- Motion Tracking

KKong from Jay B on Vimeo.
 This project was to show we could do video tracking.
After seeing this video with the tower, I immediately thought of King Kong on the Empire State Building for some reason. So, I stuck him on the tower.

There are a couple things I still want to mess around with this. Probably add some sound, add some motion blur, slow down the plane, and put Kong's arm behind the tower.

3D Animation-Lighting

I decided to create some glasses and play around with the light instead of using my robot. I thought it would be more interesting in terms of visuals and colors.

After Effects Project- Parenting/Eases

Space from J.Bar on Vimeo.

This is an AE video to show parenting as well as some eases on some keyframes. Yes, it's not how the earth, moon and sun actually work, and yes, the moon and the earth probably would have burst into flames from going so close to the sun, but meh.

Robot w/ Textures

This is a quick picture of the previous robot with textures, etc. applied. It's just a rough thing and the lighting is terrible. I'll probably edit this post in the near future with a better render and after I've gotten to play around with some of the values some more.

Maya Robot

The following pictures are some simple renders of a robot designed and created in Maya. I'd like to spruce it up a bit with some more detailed pieces and cleaning up some of the shapes as well as posing it into his "normal mode" of moving.

AE- Project1

Adobe AE_Project2 from J.Bar on Vimeo.

This project was to create a very basic After Effects project to make sure we understood the basic workings. (Getting video and music as well as simple movement using keyframes: The moving dragon/spinning yin-yang)

V&MG- Create a psd w/ Layers,mask,etc.

Don't get your lights knocked out by your electric bills! Switch to cfl bulbs and save both money and the earth's resources.

This project was pretty quick. It's a little rough around the edges, but I really liked the idea of "getting your lights knocked out." I was originally going to put a STOP sign on one head and a YIELD sign on the other, but then I had the idea of using lightbulbs and it worked out really well since the original boxing composition already had the cracks in it.

3D-Digital Painting Assignment

This is just a piece meant to demonstrate perspective and lighting.
I feel as though I've never been good at actual drawing which this project felt like, but having said that, I really like how this one turned out. I feel it's a bit cartoonish, but not ridiculously so. Not all of the lines are hard or perfect, but I like the feel of the lines in the piece.
