Exploring Endless
‘Exploring Endless’ was a month long project set out to completely recreate and explore a warehouse room where Frank Ocean’s ‘Endless’ visual album was initially released. The challenge - test my knowledge and skills to create the video from scratch with ideation, modeling, texturing, and fine details to produce a hyper-realistic end result.
Samaro Tour Animations
Commissioned by Indianapolis based musician Samaro - The goal was simple. Create an few animations that would be able to be seamlessly looped, cut together, and edited on the fly during his performances that tied together his energy, brand, and the music he was playing. Commissioned the week of a large performance the deadline and turnaround was tight. Everything turned out perfect with extra time to spare. Samaro’s animations debuted infront of a crowd of 5,000 on 3 massive LED walls ranging from 20 feet to 50 feet in length.
‘Proper’ Patron Saint Visuals
Commissioned by Indianapolis music venue The Patron Saint, the task was to create a visual sequence to be played throughout the night within their venue to bring even more branding to their venue. Leaning into their New Orleans and voodoo inspired decorations as well as their trademark red lights spread throughout the venue, the ‘Proper’ visuals were born.
Moon and Stars
In November of 2020 The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reached out with a project in mind to raise awareness to their mission to help find and save children from all walks of life. I worked with a videographer to turn his normal daytime shots into fantastical nightscapes using 2D and 3D animations, as well as a wide range of VFX techniques to create this magical video to help raise awareness to their brand and mission for the holidays.
Slippin’ Jimmy
Chicago based Artist ‘Slippin’ Jimmy’ needed a brand redesign. Heavily influenced by 80’s retro style within his music we knew that we had to bring this element even more in the forefront of his brand aesthetic. The first step was redesigning his logo from the ground up. Second on the list was to combine 3D software with Adobe’s After Effects program to create an endless loop which could be used for both live performances and new music releases.
Mockups Made Easy
Using 3D software the creation of polished mockups for clients and brands has never been easier. The best part - once a 3D model is created the content within the mockup can be switched out in just seconds and tailored to the client’s needs.
White Claw
With the start of quarantine in early 2020 White Claw was looking way to capture advertising content in a safe and socially-distanced way. Using both the actual can as well as references images a 3D White Claw can was built to tackle their needs.
Abstract Time
A quick :05 bump designed for Chicago’s creative agency The Times. Inspired by ‘The Persistence of Memory’ by Salvador Dali the goal was to design a quick promotional bump that nodded to the idea that the creative agency thinks and uses time differently than the standard.
