About me and this book

I'm a motion designer that specializes in 3D, mostly in Blender. My work is very precise witn intentional color, light, and attention to detail.

This design book was made for my MOME333 class, where each project shown here was made in only one week to fit a brief only shown to us at the start of the week.

F5 Conference promo

For this hypothetical announcement/promotional video for the F5 Empath conference speakers, I wanted to use light in an elegant 3D space to highlight the speaker names in a simple yet stylish sans-serif font. I used colored lights to match the F5 Empath color scheme.

After making three different concepts for three names each, I refined the first concept and created styleframes for all 5 highlighted speakers.

I used Blender’s new Geometry Nodes to instance rounded beveled cubes with a control empty to bias the randomness for the type holes. 

Houston Dash logo video

For this hypothetical logo video for the womens soccer team Houston Dash, I was tasked to learn the Cinema 4D for the first time. I had only a week, but I was able to apply my 8 years of Blender experience to understand C4D to create these polished designs. 

My concept for this design was to use the negative space in the logo as corridors, with names on the walls. I wanted to test the limits of Redshift so I lit almost the entire scene indirectly from glowing bands at the top of each wall. 

Anti-Design

For this hypothetical social media video to promote the local Savannah band “The Holy Ghost Tabernacle Choir” I used Anti-Design to convey the chaos and noise found in their math rock music.

I abandoned the precision and carefulness I normally put into my art and experimented with absurd methods like using jpeg compression, upscaling artifacts, extreme liquify, oversharpening, difference blend mode, and destructive effects that required merging all layers.
