This man is watching the End of Time, but he knows that everything is okay. <br /> <br /> This was the first time I had completed an entire short own my own, and I learned many things during the process. My next short will be much better. <object width="853" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WxubZNLbUYQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WxubZNLbUYQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="505"></embed></object> 2 endoftime.jpg The End of Time 2009-12-20T03:07:00Z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxubZNLbUYQ&fmt=22 2009-12-02T06:08:50Z 2008-04-02 This is a selection of older work that I had compiled for part of a portfolio. Some of the older clips were created as far back as 2003. I created all of the 3D art and textures. Live action video was filmed by Aaron Caughlin, and the music was created by Jeffrey Hansen. <object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9XfRjon-c4k&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9XfRjon-c4k&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object> 3 olderwork.jpg A Selection of Older Work 2009-12-20T03:07:40Z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XfRjon-c4k&fmt=22 2009-12-02T06:29:10Z 2009-11-02 This was an assignment for a film class in the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon. The assignment was to tell a story that focused on kindness, centered around a kitchen, used a glass, and was predominantly brown in nature. My roles in this video include writing the story and acting as the main character. <br /> <br /> Random Trivia: Apple juice looks exactly like cheap whiskey. <object width="640" height="480"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7466141&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7466141&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="480"></embed></object> 4 story.jpg Kindness 2009-12-02T06:34:42Z http://vimeo.com/7466141 2009-12-02T06:40:33Z 2009-12-02 Our final project in the film class at the Entertainment Technology Center. We were given the assignment of filming a music video that was not a literal interpretation of the song. <br /> <br /> I edited this video and also created all of the visual effects. <object width="640" height="360"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7675254&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7675254&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="360"></embed></object> 5 musicvideo.jpg Space Oddity 2009-12-02T06:40:33Z http://vimeo.com/7675254 2010-02-03T15:23:24Z 2009-09-15 This was made for Round 2 of our Building Virtual Worlds class. I did all the modeling and animations. <br /> <br /> The world was designed to be used in a Head Mounted Display (VR goggles), and the guest was given a real flashlight to hold. This real-world flashlight is what controlled the flashlight in the virtual world and provided a very intuitive interface. We did not need to provide any instructions for the guest to interact with this world. The world may appear a little too dark here, but in the Head Mounted Display it was brighter.<br /> <br /> There were quite a few technical challenges with the lighting, mainly because we needed a dynamic, shadow-casting light source. The Panda3D engine only seemed to support one dynamic light at a time, but we wanted the part at the end with the officer to be very dramatic and have light spill in from the outside (from the Officer's flood lights). <br /> <br /> We ended up faking it by creating a semi-transparent plane that would stay below the ground plane, and then would raise up slightly as the door opened. <object width="853" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bck5fNyDJW0&hl=en_US&fs=1&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bck5fNyDJW0&hl=en_US&fs=1&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="505"></embed></object> 8 visitor.jpg Visitor 2010-02-03T15:26:04Z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bck5fNyDJW0&fmt=22
