Ann Arbor is the Same – Shigeto (Visuals for Live Set)

This video was crated as a background for Shigeto for live music performances on his upcoming tour. Just image someone playing real drums along to this music, then the experience is complete.

Demo REEL updated!

That’s right, my new demo reel is available for viewing.  Its been over a year since I have put together my best work, and there lots of new stuff to add.  Please head on over to the REEL section of this website to check it out.  There you will find a blend of my motion graphics work and video projects.  Enjoy!

Seed of Change (Cepia – Hoarse)

Created in collaboration with Aaron Mustamaa and Mike Bielenda at the College for Creative studies.   This film went on to making to the semi-finals of the Adobe Design Achievement Awards  and won a prize at the grand rapids film festival.  It is hosted on the inspration section of the toolfarm website.

The video was inspired and crated for the song Hoarse by Cepia, that was released on the Idol Tryouts 2 compilation by Ghostly International.

“The Precious” (24 Hour Compeition)

A very quick video created for 24 hour video competition at CCS.  Their were three teams, traditional animation, 3D animation and lastly the motion graphics group.  Aaron Mustamaa was the only one who wanted to join me in the third group and together in about 8 hours in the basement of CCS.  Every team was to create an animation based on the same audio  sample from Lord of the Rings.  Aaron and I jammed out on two PC computers since After Effects installed on the Intel Mac was not a Universal Binary program at the time.  This allowed for faster rendering and quick turnaround of the video.  The following video was the result:

Polaroid – Self Portrait

This was my first major motion graphics project I produced in college. Its an old projet but still one of my favoriets. All of the poloids are actual polaroids I took of myself in sequence one lonley day in my bedroom. Each shot represented a different part of my personalitty that is then exemplified in this animation.  The music in the background is from the GAS project by the german electronic musican Wolfgang Voigt.
