 Special Effects
These images are some more stills from my "The Purple
Heart Sword" student film. To the left you'll see some of my cheesey lightning
effects done in Metacreations Painter. Yep, that's Danielle Perrone holding the
purple heart sword there. While filming this scene, during one of the takes, the
park security showed up. I only wish that I had kept filming. It would have
been a great outtake. |
| The following stills are from the opening
credits of "The Purple Heart Sword". That's me doing some Tai Chi in a
field there. I added those big 3D titles in post production. Each word falls
from the sky and then scatters towards the camera. For this scene, I had to
reproduce the original lighting so the shadows would fall properly. I also used
front projection image mapping as opposed to alpha channel compositing.

Growing Tree
This is a 3D tree that I made for Guymark Studios for a corporate video they were
producing. It begins as a small tree then grows and produces leaves. I used
the alpha channel throughout the animation such that the tree can be easily composited
with other footage in AfterEffects. |
