Scene 1

Title Screen

0:00 - 0:18

Brief: This scene started as an experiment with Maya particles and became a short composition using After Effects. The text, particles, and animation were created using maya particle effects and rendered in seperate layers. Once in after effects the layers were combined, finally special effects were added and colours were manipulated to achieve the final result.

Credits: I was responsible for the entire composition and its contents.

Software: Adobe After Effects, Maya 2010.

Scene 2

Skateboard Animation Pt.1

0:18 - 0:35

Brief: The early development of this scene started as an animation for a project but developed into a much larger scope. All the buildings, objects, and characters were modeled in Maya and uv textured in Adobe Photoshop. The scene was composited in Adobe After Effects and was given a few special effects.

Credits: I was responsible for the entire composition including modeling, texturing, rigging and skinning, animating, editing, and compositing.
