While finishing up school the Creative Director at MAKE allowed me the awesome opportunity to direct this piece at MAKE.
It is an animation that I had done some style frames for and was meant to be a non-narrative animation of a microscopic robotic ecosystem. I wanted to give a nice dimension of scale, with the ever zooming out camera.

This piece relied heavily on the motion capture system “CamBlock” and is how we were able to do multiple takes required for every shot to be able to combine them in post.
This was an interesting shoot, and I even did portions of the edit on location during shooting to ensure certain takes worked well together.

There were some interesting challenges with this one, with a constant 360 movement of the camera.
In some situations we constructed a 360º greenscreen. It was a bit interesting to work in, and let us get all the angles orbiting around the protagonist and add whatever environment we needed.

It was a little quick project that I did everything for, including the voice talent. Yep.
A bit of a break from the normal, this motion graphics piece was constructed out of a lot of 3d elements.
Many of the silhouettes were rendered from 3d, and the n placed in comp.
The main camera move was done in 3d as well, with shapes for the environment being a combination of 3d rendered from camera, and decals placed in comp.
