Paint Splosion

Here is a project we interns helped out with over the summer at our internship at Mografi with Thornberg & Forester. It is an ident for the Vicek foundation that involves a paint 'spolsion! 

Above is an image of a ball from walmart covered in house paint poured over it with turkey basters (LOL). Basically Joe had to create the effect of a "big bang"with paint. At first he tried creating it entirely in after effects and C4D but nothing looked quite right or real or cool. We interns decided the best way to make a paint explosion was to use paint (genius right?), so we spent the day getting supplies and figuring out the best way to do this. We ended up pointing the camera straight downwards at a green ball that we threw paint on and recorded the whole process. Joe then took the footage shot and messed with it in after effects and used some other techniques and effects to push it further.  

Thank You

Finally finished my animated thank you note! Instead of writing thank you notes for my birthday this year I decided to animate one. If I had more time I'd like to work on the butterfly and background more so, but its about time I start embarking on my 3 day road trip back to school. Regardless of how refined or not it is, it feels good to have completed a short personal project. :)

I first created the entire image/type in photoshop, then broke it up and brought it into after effects with music from killer tracks. Enjoy & Thanks to all my friends and family!

Clock Commission

This is a clock design I did on commission for a friend for his girlfriend's birthday (so sweet!). I was very excited to get this project because it was my first clock design and fun to create. The pictures of the finished project aren't the best but I was happy with how everything came out! :) 

Photo Walk

Here are some pictures I've taken recently:

The first one I took from my porch at the place I stayed at over the summer.

The second one I took from my plane ride home to Maryland.

The rest I took today while walking my dog around my neighborhood. 

Enjoy! 

Official Website!

Thanks to Jacob:

 I've been able to get Muse + a domain name + server space + help with putting it all together = my website. 

There was then the one small problem left of... designing my own site. 

I went through a ton of ideas and layouts!

My original goal was just to use my favorite color: red. (plus my other favorites-- black & white). 

Then I decided to use brown to make my site warmer. I like warm and fuzzy.

Then I was told the red was to bright and bold and took the attention away from my work.
So I tried a plum-like color.

I didn't like how dull my last site design was, because I wanted to be bold without taking away from my work & information. So I came up with this design:

So far I really like the rainbow design! I think I'm going to stick with it for a while. As always I am open to suggestions for my site design, but for now I am satisfied. I need to stop touching it for a while and go play outside or something anyways.

Enjoy my new and official site!!!
