This was a fun and challenging exercise in creating magically seamless transitions between live action clips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1466361355544-PXJ41M7SFFK0R730MJOP/image-asset.jpeg Home - Duncan Quinn Show Pitch This was a TV show pitch video for men's fashion designer and tailor extraordinaire, Duncan Quinn.

It also features the golden voice of Ms. Emily Braden. The song is a re-imagining of the classic Donald Byrd song. You may recognize the sample when you hear it. Creating this video was a fun exploration into shooting against green screen/ green faces and rotoscoping in After Effects. This director's cut includes a few more effects and treated video footage than the original version. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1466362305229-XFPD6MBOAN9NTTP988JE/image-asset.jpeg Home - Kinesis Cube Kinesis Cube is short animation exploration I did in Cinema 4D. It came from a scifi/fantasy story idea about a magical cube that unlocks the dormant telekinetic abilities in humans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1466363263674-EEXJ7CK8V8UGN0ZU83NS/image-asset.jpeg Home - Nike Pegasus: Happy Silver Anniversary This is the intro I animated for the Pegasus: Happy Silver Anniversary video done at R/GA NYC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1466363456299-QL8QOIITXETO4YDLNOOO/drumtriptick.jpeg Home - Drum Triptic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1466365803568-8M4HHN2YEK27NKO2LS14/tyblue_thumb.png Home - In Effect Promo This is a music video promo for which I shot, directed, edited and did the effects.

I explored type design using simple shapes and detailed 2D animation builds using After Effects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1482241379989-SPGL213DNN50RBWOD5R1/image-asset.jpeg Home - IBM "Eye On" opening sequence This is the opening sequence for IBM's film series "Eye on", which focuses on the increasingly convergent worlds of science, technology and art. I created an interlocking grid made up of different sized IBM posters. Then I animated both within the posters, bringing some of them to life, while also traveling parallel to the grid using quick camera movements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1490145259900-HSJYQO8E25AH42YZPAVR/image-asset.jpeg Home - Pi Day For this project I finally got to use the geometry I learned in high school and the calculus i never actually learned. IBM asked me to do an animation for Pi Day. Pi Day is the geeky celebration of Pi (π), the symbol that represents “the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter,” as described succinctly on Wikipedia. The design aesthetic is that of a patent rendering/drawing in motion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1515470493170-XLF9A8U9CH2NDPQ2DZG5/image-asset.jpeg Home - Dr. Laxmi on Understanding Genomes and Tango I was asked by IBM to do an animation that visualizes an audio clip of Dr. Laxmi talking about working with and understanding genomes, using tango dancing as a metaphor. Storyboards, After Effects, Cinema 4D, Illustrator and Photoshop were used to complete the project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1516071614957-SPDW0W89PQVN3AAWZZOU/image-asset.jpeg Home - Galaxy Dual Screen This was one of a few animation passes for a component of a Samsung presentation deck.

I used all 2D elements in After Effects with image projection and 3D placement to create the illusion of a 3D environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1577902642054-FUVUVF8Q3IDT43YIUC0T/image-asset.png Home - TOY Network endpage tests Endpage tests for TOY network (not a real network) using After Effects’ 3D type/layer Cinema 4D renderer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1578968514634-N8Z5Y55KS60N5KJAA42A/image-asset.png Home - Ketel One Drink Marvelously Part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1579023090364-WCP4RI0L2A31XY7JH7BJ/image-asset.png Home - Angry Birds - Give It The Bird This was a fun project I animated at R/GA NYC for the Angry Birds ten year anniversary campaign, Give It The Bird, to fight against all types of injustices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1579025298894-LK4ZD6RGL4UT5MEOSGR3/image-asset.png Home - "Play" UE Boom This was one in a series of quick turn around animations for a social media campaign pitch.

I paired it with a three and a half minute dance track entitled "Hops" I created in Logic Pro X. Distortions, color shifts and other effects are layered on as the song shifts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1587492449545-1RA2H5AMEJR0PFIY80WK/image-asset.png Home - Glob Here's a recent C4D project I did at home. Something Sci-Fi. Sort of a bloody avocado blob created by a mad scientist(me). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1595531022482-OUYXWNGI2EJ1HPLAKSJF/image-asset.png Home - ALONE TEASER This is a teaser I created for History channel's show Alone. The concept of the teaser is around the idea that the contestants of the show often fight a mental battle with themselves that either breaks them or pushes them forward to victory. The creative direction was inspired by Ridley Scott's Scott Free production company logo animation and the latest The Walking Dead opening titles. I went for this painterly cel animation look with some help from a Creation Effects template combined with my own Cinema 4D and After Effects animation. I created the soundtrack using Logic Pro X. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1602878632652-N04X6GRIZOV0B51TNJ71/TBDALA.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1704752323883-EDK5ZAPGJ2MXFEPHMO63/drak-o.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1704831941213-Q4NMRD50V768GOQD1QAE/image-asset.png Home - BGL Logo Animation A quick turnaround logo animation for a prolific and genius inventor/architect/creator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1704833314684-80HACE15YJQQSM97BUTM/image-asset.png Home - Art For Life Outro Title I designed and animated this outro title logo for an upcoming documentary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1704846545660-XUEXUNC10MF4WC5YLPCD/RR_logo_2D.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1705018793691-C5JQH0JOCCV4N34RGLDV/Reel+2024++thumb.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1718221265570-VYKEDWZLNR68ND9R6HMP/square+version.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1729895705878-2UVX1YJYF3BIOWLYF52T/image-asset.png Home - Club Ife https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5165b2b3e4b0570c54fa8c73/1736452466469-JXYDXSB221QF8283YUV8/image-asset.png Home - BIO Game of Life Teaser 3D animated teaser for a UNO (game of my childhood) inspired hypothetical card game styled in the realm of sports graphics. http://reginaldross.com/resume daily 0.75 2025-12-10
