Based off a Photoshop project that I did previously - this is my first experiment with 3D in After Effects. The music for this is a track that I wrote and recorded earlier.

Syntheticalization MAR311 - Integrated Media Production Produced using Adobe After Effects April 2005

This was the course's final project. I got the idea for it by staring at the classroom's ceiling trying to think up an idea.

A Grey Matter of Time MAR316 - Directing and Producing the Short Film Produced using Final Cut Pro October 2005

This was shot on location in the campus heating plant. I worked with a team of four others to produce it. Yes, that's me playing the part of the mad scientist.

Rinse, Lather, Repeat MAR316 - Directing and Producing the Short Film Produced using Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Audition November 2005

The assignment was to create a short piece based from a haiku. I don't remember what my haiku was, but it had something to do with getting stuck in a rut. Thanks to Kris Nord for helping me out with this.

Enough Rope MAR395 - Final Media Project Produced using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Audition March 2006

I created this using footage from my morning walk to class. I wasn't sure what the final result would be until I started putting the various clips together.

Plop MAR395 - Final Media Project Produced using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Audition April 2006

Most projects that I have worked on in After Effects have been video based. I decided to do something different with this project and do animation instead. I made heavy use of scripting to achieve the bouncing and jiggling effects. The video is meant to be played in an infinite loop.
