Storyboards

Animatics

The client requested a short video showcasing the simplicity of their AI. To add visual variety and avoid relying solely on chat boxes, we integrated characters navigating everyday life.

Meta

The use of AI and advanced tech has been a leading motivator for Meta. I had the opportunity to work on many of their projects ranging from the code that the AI was built upon to the tech in which it resided.

Meta wanted to showcase their AI for commerce through the eyes of 3 friends going to a ski trip and the shop owner that sold them their gear.

This short video was made to demonstrate how a shop owner using Meta's AI, could optimize their store and dynamically show the right products to the right people.

The use of Meta glasses in real life seemed like something out of a sci fi movie. We wanted to show how real it can be through the eyes of a bike rider traveling the city.

Exo

In the medical field ultrasounds are on big unwieldy carts. Exo set out to change that by making a handheld ultra sound that can connect to your phone, giving you all the power of the cart in the palm of your hand.

In the ER every second counts. With EXO's new handheld ultra sound we wanted to show it's efficiency of use in high stakes situations.

As EXO's anthem piece the goal was to show a variety of doctors in the work place. Using EXO to easily go through charts and data that would have normally taken much longer to tackle.

Toyota

Toyota goes all out for three major events each year—Presidents' Day, the 4th of July, and Black Friday. We had the exciting opportunity to get creative, crafting storyboards that showcased the wild and unexpected ways these characters made it to the dealership.

Toyota wanted a set of 4 short videos displaying how these individuals would be getting to the Toyotathon event. The videos had to be short, 4 seconds, which made it tricky but luckily we had the freedom to be as creative as we wanted. My particular favorite was the rocket powered horse.

Passion Projects

I'm a strong believer in that one should never stop learning. That's why it's important to me that I always have something I'm working on that not only inspires me but pushes my skills to new places. 

Zombies in feudal Japan, need I say more? But really I wanted a project to test my limits in previsualization. Using Blender I was able to draw 2d planes in 3d place while having control of a camera. It also gave me the ability to create a giant horde using procedural generation. 

Previsualization

Surprise surprise, I'm a Star Wars fan. Naturally I had to try and create a lightsaber duel. What started as a few test frames turned into a whole choreographed fight. It was just too fun to put down. This was done in Blender using the Grease Pencil tool.

Previsualization

Pixar has always been a huge inspiration of mine. One of my favorite aspects of them are the little shorts they put at the beginning of each film. This is my "Pixar into short". Being a percussionist in the band myself growing up, I always wanted to just let loose in the middle of a concert. Spiderbeat let me live that fantasy.

Everyone has their big budget movie ideas and this one is mine. The First Martian is the story of the first person born on mars. Kind of a "new west" if you will.
