3-Dimensional Work

 
[Dragin' On]

Dragin’ On (September – December 2004) is a piece about a dragon/lizard like creature who is scavenging for food and finds more then it bargained for. I modeled, animated and lit the scene using Alias Maya and rendered out each scene with a number of render passes. The renders were then composited using Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. I worked with Mark Seibert to develop a soundtrack using Vegas. Programs used to a lesser extent include Adobe Photoshop and Acon Acoustica. This will be a work in progress until December 20, 2004.
