About Me

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Hello.  My name is Jason, and I'm a serial tinkerer.   My undergraduate degree is in interdisciplinary humanities.  I have always been interested in research based artwork, which is why I studied modernist and postmodern literature, logic, and evolutionary theory as part of my artistic practice.  In addition to my ...

Mr Chips

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I originally started this project for the Greyscale Gorilla "Milk and Cookies" 5 second challenge. I decided to make it longer and do a short character animation. I learned a lot from this project: The criss-cross pattern on the glass was an interesting modeling exercise. The background and table use ...

Bullet Blur

Monday, April 19th, 2010

This is a new concept I've developed. While the *effect* is nothing new, I believe this implementation within C4D is. The motion of the camera, the motion blur, and the flow of time (here, zero) are all independent. I've kept the scene very simple because it takes a long time ...

Disco Tiles

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

I'm experimenting with an alternative to the sound effector for the rhythmic timing of lights.  I want more of a 808 kind of thing.

Spline Dynamics

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Just playing around with spline dynamics and deformers.

Self Portrait

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I animated this video using Photoshop.  Everything is hand-drawn.  Through the first part of the video, I gave myself one minute to draw each of the frames.  Once my hands become visible, I gave myself enough extra time to increase the level of detail while keeping the look consistent.

iChat Look Test

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

So my good friend William Howell edits all of these lectures for IHMC in Pensacola.  He went out of town for a week and I got a chance to "ghost" edit.  Using his previous lecture as a guide, I edited this one.  I thought that I could devise a more efficient, ...

Moon Rover

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

This is part of a series of short animations I did for a proposal IHMC was giving to NASA.  We were pitching virtual cameras for the new rover.  Since lunar geography doesn't change very quickly, you can use satellite imagery and topography in to make sure you're not driving over ...

Green Screen Test

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

This is just a short green screen test.  It was part of a project I was working on for the robotics department at UWF.  I learned a lot about lighting green screens while I was interning at Skill-Q.  They also taught me how to use ScopeBox to monitor all of ...

Projection Mapping

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

I'm using C4D to emulate a popular effect.

Motion Tracking

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Trying to get a grasp on motion tracking.  In this example, I'm using PFtrack.  I think the hardest part of the process is actually figuring out the sensor size and focal length of my cheap panasonic camera.  To do this, I used some formulas I found in Optical Tracking From ...

The National - Slow Show

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I'm experimenting with text in Motion.

Robot Spider

Friday, June 29th, 2007

This is my first attempt to composite a matched camera move with an animated 3D character.  I used icarus to track the camera and C4D to model and texture the spider.  I'm hoping to revisit this file to better integrate the spider with its surroundings.  That would be a good ...
