Graphics/​Animations

Animated Logos

A little After Effects logo a put together for a company I had done work for.
Brave Runner Films is an independent, one-man film production company located in Cincinnati, OH. Check out his story on Instagram at #braverunnerfilms.
One of my first animated logos I designed for a tool and fastener distributor located in Forest Park, OH. Check out their website at www.nailgundepot.com.
I got bored. So I made this in After Effects. Not too much of AE's 3D capabilities.

Visual Effects & Compositing

Animation Shorts

Lost 'N Space, my capstone project in college. This short won a Silver Addy in the regional district and received a honorable mention at the 2013 Regional Emmys.
Just had some fun with this one. I utilized rotoscoping as well as the five principles of animation in this little short.
We all need to forget-it-all.
This is how I feel every single morning.
