Clinique: Skin Care

These Clinique product spots are previs animations. On this campaign, I was the Creative Director. I collaborated with agency creative leads in house, developed shooting boards, sketched then blocked them out in Maya, and finally communicated with the rest of the 3D team what assets were needed per each shot.

Fanta: 3D Character Campaign

These Fanta previs spots were really fun to work on and gave us a lot of creative freedom. Starting only with a script, I was able to visualize and draw out the boards, direct animators on action and camera movement, brief 3d artists on props needed and give compositors feedback for the overall look. These were projects I was always extremely involved in, often animating and blocking key shots in 3D.

HQStudios: Music Videos

HQStudios is an online collective group who like to “meme-ify” popular music videos for simply entertainment. One of the goals is to always have the lyrics on screen so the video could be understood in gif form as well.

I used Cinema 4D, After Effects and Mocha for all the tracking, compositing and 3D elements.

Nission: Rogue

For this Nission campaign, it was important to incorporate a lot of dynamic shots and car maneuvers to show the cars versatility and also hit on the joke. I lead this project, drawing shooting boards for both these spots, directing animators and compositors, and also animating some sections.

Gfycat: Are You Afraid of Lego?

For this independent project I recreated Nickelodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark” title sequence in Lego format. I downloaded each Lego block, brought them into Maya to build the scenes, then exported to Cinema 4D for lighting. This spot won first place in a Gfycat tournament and a trip to Vegas.

HQG: Title Sequences

What if a website had an intro?

These are two pieces I did for the SubReddit r/highqualitygifs and Reddit as a whole.

Game of Gifs (a spoof on the Game of Thrones intro) was created in Cinema 4d and After Effects. It takes the concept of a subreddit whose users submit gifs and get upvoted with the goal of reaching r/all (The main page anyone who visits the site can see.) The more popular a gif, the more likely the chance to hit the main page and therefore it is very competitive.

Last Meme Tonight, done entirely in After Effects, recreates the John Oliver intro with popular subreddits. Each one has a not very latin pun associated with it, and usually the intro ends with what was extremely popular that week. While I was making it, Infinity War had just released on dvd and Thanos was a very popular thing on the internet.
