Star Wars and Light Sabers

Here is another recent project using Adobe After Effects. Like my last post, I took a sword and changed it into a light saber. This project used the same process to turn the green/red sticks in the footage and create light sabers. I only did two of the single light sabers. The middle one which is the colour red was not completed.

After Effects - Compositing

A recent Motion Graphics subject in my program has opened my eyes to Adobe After Effects. Here is some very short footage (1 second in length) from the movie Braveheart. The lab involved tracking a sword, changing its colours and applying blurs with a hue/saturation change to create a light saber effect on top of it.

Re-Branding of a Company

Just a small project to re design a companies branding. From the 4 options provided I chose Oliver Jewelery - A cash for gold scam on television. I've spent 2 hours on the logo and 2 hours on a small write about the new brand for the company.

Here is a small logo I created. I have a black, white, gray scale and the final logo in colour presented on a white and black background.



And here are the colours used:

dce1db - silver
fbbb1b - light gold
e68e10 - dark gold
000000 - Black
ffffff - white

I chose these colours specifically because they relate to the word "jewelry". Also they work well together when mixed in the above logo.

I also had to choose some brand personalities for the new style of the company. I decided to use the words: comfortable, easy, business, selling.

Harlequin Design

Harlequin Design will be launching a new brand including a business card, logo and new website. This project currently has a first version and is planning to have the second completed before March 2011.

Harlequin Design - v1.0



On a side note, I am looking into designing a website with a few contacts of mine. The purpose of this project is to display and show off all our portfolios under one domain. The finished project will further our skills in using teamwork skills and project management as we will have to create a schedule to follow and when and where to work on certain parts of the project.

Updates to come soon.

3D Chess

I decided to create some 3D chess pieces for a final project using 3Ds Max. I put them to use by creating a small little battle between the two. Below is an image of the two pieces looking at each other.

Cerial box

A small tutorial in creating an animated object that acts like a living creature. This Cerial box moved from the left of the screen to the right. At the end it stops in the middle and pants while looking around by twisting to the right and left.

3D Crane

Here are two cranes I created in 3ds max for a project. One was created using a in class tutorial and the other was part of the independent project.

Enjoy!
