Glass Break Full render

Worked on a student film last Semester. First off, let me just say, I am not a 3D animation student, I took the Special Effects and Composting class because who doesn't love Special Effects. The shot I was assigned was the following glass break. The Break was rendered in Houdini and composted in After Effects. Here's the first full rendered draft of the shot. Film should be finished by the end of the month.

ATTS

Taking a Web Traffic class this semester, We are charged with starting a web site and to begin building traffic. The sit I choose is All Things Tilt Shift or ATTS. I wrote a tutorial last year on how to apply a Tilt-shift Video effect to video using Photoshop. I assume this means that I am now an expert on all things tilt-shift right? I built the site off a Wordpress template, here's a screenshot of the site or you can also visit the site in person at http://www.allthingstiltshift.com/

(I have since abandoned this project,  See PlayplaceReviews.com, I felt this other project was a more viable option and would be more enjoyable and hopefully more profitable. )

2011 Fall Semester Demo Reel

Spent this last semester working on a project for the school. The principal footage was shoot a while ago and we were trying to finish up the last of the effects shots. My shots where of a wine glass falling and shattering upon a table and of a window that shatters as a person is thrown through. I am using the Houdini Software for both of these shots. I knew nothing of this software going in and it has proven to be quite a challenge to get to where I am know. The goal is premiere the film in February, so fingers crossed.

Tilt-Shift Maker

Pretty excited about my final project for my ActionScript class. I made a simple Air App that will create a Tilt-shift image from nearly any photo.

Click the Following link to download the Air App, install and enjoy your very own Tilt-shift Maker.
(note: this app is still a work in progress, it is fully functional but I'am still fixing some minor image save issues and will be adding additional features next semster)

ActionScript Physics

I haven't posted yet this semester. Been working super hard on some cool stuff in Actionscript and PHP but as cool as it is, it's not really pretty stuff.

This is my first attempt at rendering Physics with ActionScript. Not terribly unique but still kinda cool to code physics.
