Art Direction, Animation, Materials, Lighting, and Compositing
This is a project I completed in July 2009 at Focus360. I was responsible for designing the “building blocks”, studio stage set and lighting for the project. I created concept renderings to get in-house and client approval. I also created the rough sketches for the storyboard, and worked with the team in testing the new tools created for animating the blocks. I did all of the compositing, lighting and materials for the “non-photo real” shots.
I was also responsible for animating several shots. This project was a collaborative effort and several shots were executed by my team mates. It was a fun one because we were able to explore a non typical solution for an architectural visualization project. I also had fun digging into Gabes rigged crane and adding a suction cup to it while he was on vacation!!
