I was responsible for all 3d, AI, and Post tasks on these personal Fine Art projects.
VFX experiments
ROLE: All production and design tasks using MAYA and AFTER EFFECTS. I made extensive use of Maya ncloth, nparticles, MASH, Arnold surfacing and lighting. Compositing and additional VFX elements with After Effects
NOTE: This project was the recipient of a Baker Artist award in Baltimore in 2022 and the video was displayed in a gallery show for the award winners at the Peale Museum, the oldest museum building in the United States. Exploration of visual effects techniques used as a fine art medium. The repeated erosion and layering of commercial signage on a billboard that has been in use for many years, but fallen into decay, revealing many layers of different images like tree rings or Strata in a rock, was the inspiration visually. However, the time is fast forwarded so we can watch the process evolve. It is a meditation on impermanence and the beauty of chance. NO AI WAS USED, only traditional visual effects techniques that I learned working on movies and TV.
