MOTION GRAPHICS - 3D - ANIMATION

I’ve always had an interest in cutting edge technology and the ways it can be used to tell stories. The most recent journey I’ve embarked on to refine my skill set is combining what I’ve already learned with the new frontiers offered by virtual production, motion graphics, motion capture, 3D scanning, and more.

3D & Motion Graphics

Basement Party Intro Animation

This is an intro animation I made for my friend's Dungeons & Dragons Twitch stream using Blender & Davinci Resolve/Fusion. Various models and assets were downloaded from Sketchfab, all credits to the original creators listed below.

Housing Application Motion Graphic

This is a motion graphic project I made with Blender to inform students on how to apply for housing at Columbus State University.

Graduation Instructional

This is a quick turnaround animation I did for the 2024 Gwinnett Tech graduation to instruct students on the order of operations for the event. Made with speed in mind, I focused on basic shapes and animations for the overall scene and put most of my effort into the camera motion, so the viewer can easily follow the directions and receive the information that they needed.

Clocktower Intro

This is a motion graphic intro/outro project I made with Blender to use in our promotional materials and ads. One of my favorite things about this is the ability to make 2D animations just as easily as it does 3D. This is quick example, but I think it is an effective one.

The Cake Animation

This animation is a motion graphic example promoting the play “The Cake” for the Springer Opera House. The flowers are modified free models downloaded by Terrie Simmons-Ehrhardt, GERASIM, and other artists. The rest of the modeling, lighting, and animation were created and rendered in Blender.

Columbus State University Clocktower

As part of a collection of 3D assets I built for various uses, I recreated the Clocktower located on the CSU main campus. The model was built in Blender, while textures were applied in Substance Painter.

Clearview Hall

The is a 3D model recreation of the Clearview Residence Hall at Columbus State University. I created the model using Blender and some old floor plans of the building, then also modeled the furniture, utilities, and lighting. Open source model textures were downloaded from Poly Haven and 3dModelsCC0

Broadway Crossing

The is a 3D model recreation of the Broadway Crossing Residence Hall at Columbus State University. I created the model using Blender and some old floor plans of the building, then also modeled the furniture, utilities, and lighting. Open source model textures were downloaded from Poly Haven and 3dModelsCC0

Moving Meditations

This was my first project using Unreal Engine 5 as a submission to the Moving Meditations 3D render challenge from the pwnisher YouTube channel. Its a bit rough around the edges but was a learning experience that I’m proud of. Made with assets from Quixel Megascans & UE Marketplace, along with some pieces I 3D scanned myself. Character model made with the mesh-to-Metahuman process based off a photo scan I took of my friend Julian.

P-61 Black Widow - Endless Engines

This was my submission to the Endless Engines 3D animation contest hosted by Clint over at the pwnisher YouTube channel. The main jet is a photogrammetry scan processed in RealityCapture and cleaned up in Blender. The scene was also made in Blender and then edited in Davinci Resolve..

Photogrammetry

Skull

Captured from a skull-shaped novelty item I saw at my friend’s house while visiting Atlanta.

Wobbly

Taken from a sculpture I saw in the median of Broadway, in Columbus, ga.
