Showreel 2020

Posted on February 27, 2020February 27, 2020 by secede

Here is an updated showreel for 2020. I am very excited about this. Lots of experiments since I have started doing animation a few years ago as well as some music video mentality. I have recently dove into stop-motion animation and it is such a thrilling universe. It takes lots of crafting and I hope to get my friends involved for more elaborate projects. My main thing, I think, is motion capture. I seem to like that quite a bit. It's fun putting together scenes and giving life to things. I like...

Guignolfest 2018

October was a busy month this year ! I decided to participate again in Portland's Guignolfest which is our 72 hour horror festival in which teams form and rush through a 72 hour production frenzy to create and complete a short film of 6:66 minutes length.

Sci-fi Testing Part 1.

Posted on February 20, 2015July 16, 2015 by secede

We're slowly working on creating a sci-fi epic. Haven't quite started, still working on how exactly to animate. Things are going well, though. This piece will be inspired by a style we like to call, "Slow Sci-Fi" like Blade Runner, 2001, Black Hole, Star Trek I, etc. It will also be psychedelic like Logan's Run and Fantastic Planet and will celebrate space drama with unusual physics and biology. These are just visual tests that we are working on. Cary Porter is responsible for most of ...
