Compositing
I have worked on many animated shows doing compositing and VFX. All of the shots in this reel were done using After Effects and Toon Boom Harmony.
Series featured in this reel:
• Paradise P.D. (Netflix)
• Out There (IFC)
• Best Fiends (mobile game)
• The Awesomes (Hulu)
• The Masked Singer (Fox)
• Wolf Boy and the Everything Factory (Apple TV)
Compositing is all about meshing separate layers together to make them feel like one. In this example for The Masked Singer, I had some jellyfish underwater doing yoga.
Steps include:
• Color adjusting
• Replacing the static fish in the background photo with particle systems of fish silhouettes
• Bubbles
• Lighting
This was a shot I did for Wolfboy and the Everything Factory (Apple TV).
The idea was to create a feeling that Wolfboy’s powers are bending the reality around him. Along with After Effects, I used Photoshop to give some of the frames a hand-drawn watercolor feel.
Motion Graphics
I have been doing motion graphics for nearly 20 years.
Promotional videos, logo animations, advertisements, marketing, product overviews, lower thirds, bumpers, etc.
