Works of the past, present and future

I finally uploaded videos on my Vimeo account. I have my schoolwork, demo reels and personal projects up. I plan to post works in progress as well.

Secret Garden

So after watching all the FXphd Nuke classes, I wanted to finish up a few shots I got from the course. I decided to finish this garden shot since it required paint fixes, 3D tracking, and rotoscoping.

Living Corpse wrapping up

Earlier this month, I was invited to watch a screening of an animated feature I worked on. I wasn't able to attend, but I was so excited that it's close to the finish. The screening took place at Real-D which could only mean that it was in glorious 3D. Hopefully it's shown across the country during Halloween time this year!

The movie is also featured in Fangoria issue #408. I need to find a copy!

Alice in 3D

Since I'm studying stereoscopic conversion right now, I did a quick test with painting depth maps to create a stereoscopic image. So bust out those Red/Cyan glasses to see it!

Quick update

I'm currently taking classes at fxphd.com, learning Nuke and Python. I hope to expand my skill set further. I've also been taking classes at Mission College, focusing on Computer Informations Systems. I have finished a C Programming course, and I am in the midst of learning UNIX/Linux Operating System.

Definitely updating my demo reel soon!

"Get a Mac" Time Traveler commercial


Just found the Mac commercial I did roto work on back in 2009 at Dtrain FX. Seven straight hours rotoscoping Mac's (Justin Long's) stray hairs to achieve the sleek, clean look as desired by my supervisor plus rotoscoping the PC guy in front of and entering the time machine capsule, which was a 3D model.
My work was mostly in the beginning, specifically, shots 1, 2, and 4.
