at pic agency. i had the chance to model, texture, light, and composite some 3d awesomeness with robin. my first project in stereoscopic with maya and c4d: twice the rendering, twice the compositing, and twice the headaches…hopefully twice as nice.

at stardust. i was the lead 3d animator for the 15 sec spot, dan was the compositor. we didn’t have a lot of time to finish off the spot so it got pretty hectic towards the end. sam sparks and kimberly im did the 30 sec spot, with sang compositing. since most of the elements for the 30 sec were already in place, the team for the 15 sec thought it would be a piece of cake. we originally intended to animated once and reuse it for the 15 sec but it didn’t work out. i reanimate the camera; the push in and pull out is totally different. never underestimate a job!

at stardust. drumroll please….blackberry storm is finished! started working on this job around the end of september 2008, moved to another job, and came back to the storm in the middle of march 2009. i was the technical director on set with joseph khan directing. back at the studio, jake was our creative director and tito, joseph, and i animated the first phase with chris eckardt lighting and texturing. we though the spot was going to air before christmas 2008, but was cancelled 2 days before our deadline. phase 2 started in 2009 with joseph and me reanimating and rerendering elements, as most of our original animation ended up on the cutting room floor. chris and dan were brought on to finish off the compositing. i did alot of animating, lighting, and compositing…the model at the end of the spot is the best part.

at national television. i wasn’t there to finish off the project, but chris, kevin, john, diffan, and jose did a great job; the final product is amazing! kevin, jose, john and i did a lot of r&d on the look of the spot, and i also did modeling, lighting, and texturing. ironically, recreating the look and movement of a classic child’s toy (play-doh) is very challenging in 3d.

at national television. animation was led by jose ortiz as the main animator, with diffan, ash, and i as supporting animators. i worked mostly on the dyson vaccuum section, which was tedious work with all the rendering and optimizing going on. jose and i came up with a more manageable workflow, and i ended up also modeling, rigging, lighting, and texturing in addition to animating and rendering.
