ASU STEM LAB VR Game

I was in charge of bringing the characters and towers to life, also the art direction of the lighting and composition of the environment. A lot of fun animating these little guys, it was important to give them their own subtle personalities.

Glass Study

I used a lot of frames and animation from this to use on my website. Deforming glass and lens flares are a quick and easy way of making something fantastic.

PIckleball immersive shoot

Groove Jones used the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera to capture a Major League Pickleball Moneyball Match between the Dallas Flash and the New Jersey Fives at Pickler Universe in Carrollton, Texas. The match featured top pros, including Anna Leigh Waters who is currently the number one female player in the world. It was the perfect opportunity to put our new camera to work.

NO BRAINER Immersive shoot

Groove Jones joined forces with Cure for Paranoia to create a groundbreaking immersive music video for Apple Vision Pro. I had the privilege of doing this shoot with Senior Creative Director Karim Youseff, I learned a lot from him on this shoot. This was a big deal because it was the first official shoot we did with the new Blackmagic Immersive Camera.

Light and Motion study

I was mesmerized by the Samsung Unpacked video of their new S23 Ultra, I wanted to recreate some of the lighting effects and reveals but put my own spin on it.

Invesco QQQ worked with Groove Jones to create a standout activation for their upcoming financial conference events. I worked on the car selection screen, cinematic environment, camera animation, and video direction.

SGCC Transition

Made some transitions for the Samsung SGCC live broadcast, this one was my favorite because of the way it lines up with the background.

INVESCO FINAL FOUR

This was a really fun project that required a lot of onsite testing to get right. I was responsible for setting up the social share, and tracking cameras. Once the Social share cameras were setup we ran sdi cable to a machine where the video was auto cut and placed into a blender edit. Most of my time was spent getting the different shots to crop in on the different shooting zones.

MD Labs logo animation

Here are two different logo animations I made for the new MD Labs section of Cheil. We wanted a special logo animation for the beginning of our videos.

Samsung health Retail

A cool animation I worked on to showcase how the Samsung watch and phone work together to show you important health info. We used a Metahuman asset for the hand.

Samsung Galaxy s23 retail

This was a pretty intricate Retail video that I made, having multiple scene files that all work together to make this final result was difficult. This was one of four videos that we made for Samsung.

Threnody Music Video

I filmed and edited most of this video. Nothing about this was planned at a high level but it came out really nicely. If I learned anything about this project, don’t try to fit all your shot locations into one day haha.

ASU Virtual lab

This was a very large project that I got to work on, lots of talented devs. I had the task of animating the DNA Helix intro animations, to this day it is the most complex thing I have rigged. Cinema 4d Curve Deformer is what made it possible.

Jedo’s Dead short film

This was the first ever film I got to work on. I was tasked with compositing a Butterfly into some shots, the practical one they used on set was defective. I used a variety of tools to get this done, very pleased with the final result.

Samsung store map

The Samsung store in NYC needed a nice map video to help guide customers through the large two story building.

MD Labs website

I was tasked with bringing looping animation to this scene. I quickly found out Blender is not great at rigid body simulations.

Poster Competition

The company started a poster competition to bring excitement prior to Unpacked, it had to be Moon themed. This is one of the best designs I’ve ever made by myself, I am very proud of this piece because it was a pivoting point in my life.
