A New Short Film - Attempted

Over two years ago, I wrote and filmed this short in Houston Texas. It took some time, but I finally have an edit I'm happy with. Please enjoy this little dark comedy that has grown so close to my heart.

3D

It still has a few kinks in it. But I think I understand how to manipulate 3D now.

Green Screen - "F### U Productions"

Ladies and gentlemen,

I would like to introduce to you the product of the depletion of creative juices. I had no freaking idea what to do for this project. Sooo I just made a little production logo. I played around with some shapes and noise and stylistic effects. As far as green screen was concerned, I just keyed it out and replaced it with solids. Texture sort of stuff.

Particles - "Airborne Toxic Event Title"

Again, had to keep the title simple. So my particles ended up being more of a texture. I used the particle world effect with the line particle. Just experimented with the options and ended up with a sort of straw like effect.

Then, I went into photoshop and created an arrow. This idea was taken from one of their album covers.

For the title, hover, I went with a warmer color scheme to match the warmth of the white lights in the show. Then did some text animation with a font similar to that of the album cover.

Good Mime/Bad Mime

This is a short I made a couple months ago. Used some simple photoshop for the title and end credits.

Text - "YELLE Logo"

Last week I used a combination of photoshop and After Effects to create an animated title for a concert a shot. The band is YELLE. They are french electro pop.

I found the cover to their new album Safari Disco Club and created a similar logo in photoshop.

Then I brought the logo into after effects and created the text using the Lithos Pro font. I found it matched the safari theme. After, I animated the scale as well as put some blur animation on the text for a subtle, yet interesting fade in. Once I had my rendered movie, I added it to Final Cut and changed the composite type to screen. This made the black transparent.

For a background, I used a video matte, and using the screen composite I was able to key frame a solid in the background to change color from the album's tan to a deep blue that matched the show's lighting.

The song titles were similar, except a animated a stretch for the logo and made the oval horizontal.

Motion Tracking - "Honesty"

Let's face it. I am just not very good at motion tracking. Plus, being swamped at work pushed me to do something simple. So, all in all, this project is a bit janky. But i do like the idea of motion tracking and I plan on developing my skills in this area and hopefully be able to do some seriously cool stuff with it in the future.

I shot this with my imac at work.
