Self Portrait

Motion Broadcasting I

First time with After Effects... She let me hold her hand...

Laremy - Guardian Angel

Intermediate 3D Modeling

This is my first character model. He is based off of a random drawing I did about 5 years ago. It was sort of difficult to imagine what he might look like from the side or back.

His name is Laremy. He was one of God's early prototypes for the first man, but he didn't quite work out. God felt sorry for him and gave him different odd jobs up in heaven, including guardian angel. Unfortunately, he just wasn't cut out for that type of work. To be continued...

The Fall of Man

Anatomy and Movement

A very short animation of a man falling. A model was used for the primary reference material. I tried to "jazz" mine up a bit. Thank you Wolf Eyes for being scary.

Polygon Man

Intermediate 3D Modeling

This was a speed model that I did in class. The theme was "Polygon". It took me about half an hour. I tied for first place and lost the winning prize in a computer generated buffalo nickel coin toss.

Panda Panda Panda

Image Manipulation

Photo composite.

Beastwood Soundcraft

Intermediate 3D Modeling

Hard Surface Model. This is a wind and sound powered vessel. The sails are primarily used for steering and the sub bass keeps the boat aloft. There are two MPC 2000 Samplers built into the dash for precise altitude control and sweet beat making capabilites. Whilst in the water, the speakers enable the passengers to communicate directly with whales and other intelligent marine life. Once this vehicle is fully operationable, I will discontinue this blog. Thank you for understanding.

Breathe

A composite of several different photos. But what does it mean? It doesn't mean that i'm a hippie, if thats what you are thinking. Just because i like hummus... Seriously, I live in Portland. You don't like hummus?

Zombies

Image Manipulation

Using Color in Photoshop. Whoooo! Sometimes I create things that make me laugh a lot, but no one else laughs with me. I'm pretty sure that this is one of those things.

Major and Miner

Color Theory

Final project. It involved showing examples of different value keys and color schemes. It seemed most fitting to go with a rather juvenile play on words... I just don't want anyone to think that I'm above that sort of thing.

Self Portrait

Drawing II

Non realistic self portrait. Charcoal and Ink.

Moment of Clarity

3D Modeling and Animation II

Conceptualize and create a short animation in Maya... Model and texture the exterior and interior. Then animate a pre-rigged character (Bloke). Fart sounds are optional.

Originally, the staircase was ridiculously high. I thought it would be funny, but no... just sort of boring. I posted a few early renders for kicks. hah.

I Want to go to Tokyo!!!

This was made for a contest put on by KGW NewsChannel 8 and Port of Portland. I came in second and scored some round trip tickets to Tokyo. Me and my lady friend (my lady friend and I?) will be going there this winter.

I'm Going to Tokyo!!!

The video itself is pretty much just a bunch of stills thrown about in several layers in Premiere. Very primitive. I played guitar and sang over a little looped beat I made on my SP-404.

Where the f--k is Elliot?

Color Theory

The was a project exploring how line color effects the overall color and mood of a composition.

Shipwreck

Color Thoery

We were supposed to create deep space by manipulating the intensity and temperature of the color without changing the value. The original piece was almost perfectly one uniform value, but I like this version a bit more.

Little Siamese Luchadors

Color Theory

Different color schemes made with cut-up pieces of Color-aid. This took forever.

Beatwood Estates

Intro to Computer Graphics

Make a ski resort brochure in Illustrator.

Monochromatic Me...

Color Theory

First we painted different values of greyscale and blue on bristol. Then we matched the values up as closely as possible and cut them up into identical designs. It's supposed to be me, but...well... I suppose this is what I looked like after staying up all night to do this project.

Valentines Day Card

Touche

3D Modeling and Animation I

The Beginning of the video was my first brush with animation in Maya. We were supposed to make 3 different types of balls bounce realistically.

For the second part, we were supposed to make a realistic 3D model of a preexisting building (Touche Restaurant). It was an extremely frustrating experience, but I think it worked out in the end.

You're Dead!

Principles of Visual Communication

Radial Composition.

Please Don't Hide

Intro to Animation

This is a really rough animatic for an old Tragical Beast song that I wrote.
I started to animate it in Premiere, and then realized that there were better ways to animate. The drawings at the end sort of went to hell. All well...

Tragical Beast is dead?

Tragical Beast · Dead

Tragical Beast - "Dead"

This is a comic that I made to go along with my song "Dead", which I wrote under the Tragical Beast moniker. I had plans for an entire conceptual album/comic, but...

Look... Listen... Behold the majesty...(?)

Promo video that I made...
Collage by jt



Live footage that I compiled together




Yip Yip vs The Band of the Name - There they go (and by they, I mean us)

This song was a remix experiment between our two groups...

I directed this video with the sensational acting acting talents of
Yip Yip, Brian Simmons and Jeferweizen



Machinedrum vs. The Band of the Name - Crunk Horse Factory

Machinedrum remix using samples created by The Band of the Name



Mumpsy - Up in the Trees

Mumpsy took the words I wrote for The Band of the Name's "Tree Songs we were swinging", and basically made a new song. Then we recorded the new version together. It was fun.



Little Helpers - Sexy Christmas

Jt is sang'n and I got to play some Jackson 5ish Bass!





lane + joey + clint + jt

We tied our friend Anna up and left her on the tracks, but somehow she escaped!

Arctic Tundra Expedition

Two explorers journeyed into the icy wilderness in search of an ancient relic.... guided by a magic wolf... and... it was really really cold...
Alas, the sheer magnitude of the epic voyage somehow manifested itself into the music that lay before you... the only travelogue you will ever need...

Portfolio - 2001

Portfolio - 2001

I made this to try and get into UCF Film School. It didn't work.

Perhaps they didn't think that I was a team player.

The back of the VHS case said:
Directing, Story, Editing, Camera, Music, Audio by
Clint Fanney

...or maybe they just thought that it sucked.
