I've finally posted a nearly-done version of my entire thesis film, Wild Cinema. It may be viewed via the gallery, or in gorgeous divX video (8MB).

I've also posted a few more projects from work, also in the gallery:

water tutorial

ALL NEW tutorials section including a tutorial on how to make cheap (fast) CG seawater. I'll add more soon, I promise!

Also, I recently purchased a digital camera, so I've decided to add a new section dedicated for my growing collection of photos. This has new pictures from Christmas in Pennsylvania and New Year's Eve 2002 in Times Square for your viewing pleasure.

Also I have added a phonograph model to the downloads area.

In an effort to grasp the magnitude of what has happened in the city Tuesday, I put together this image of the skyline, before and after. Matt Semel suggested I post it here.

I am working on a subdivision surface dog for Napoleon. Here is a playblast (Quicktime, 180K).

Two weeks ago I moved into my new apartment in Sunnyside, Queens. It's a great neighborhood but unfortunately I can't include any pictures because my camera is in the shop. I am working in Manhattan for an advertising production company, Napoleon Art and Production. Hopefully some of my animation will soon appear on national television.

I have gotten back from a lot of travelling. About two weeks ago I was in Los Angeles, later my counsin Jennifer's wedding in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and then back and forth to New York City.

In the meantime, I put together this logo animation (Quicktime, 500K) for Syracuse University.
2001-05-24
I have added files to the downloads page. More will be coming shortly.

Also, I've reanimated scene 20 (Quicktime, 600K) from Wild Cinema to make the motion look more organic.

2001-05-14
I'm currently re-animating several scenes from my senior 3D animation project, "Wild Cinema". Also, I'm experimenting with some home-brewed sound design.



The image above shows the two main characters, the bush babies, in scene 5. This is one of the few scenes that is completely done and will not be re-rendered.
