3D modeling

just started a 3D modeling class here at school.  we're using Cinema 4D.

this was one of the first things i modeled in lab.  clearly, it's Friday.

another class project

here's a 40 second motion graphic piece from last term.  this was a group project for a real client, a "comedy magician."

yes, i realize it uses the same song as one of my previous pieces.  we couldn't decide on what song to use and we can't use copywritten music (this is my friend's song, so all good).

whirlwind weekend

the anniversary bash was amazing!  the place was packed, the vibe was kicking and the music was incredible.  it was the first time in a very, very long time that a breakdance circle has erupted while i'm playing and i was grinning ear to ear.  the taco truck outside was a big hit!  nothing like a couple carne asada tacos to help sober up at 3am.  couldn't have asked for a better anniversary party.  i was beaming the entire ride home.

got to the wushu tournament late around 2:30pm.  immediately ran into friends and felt relie...Read more

Friday is our DJ crew's 4th anniversary party.  can't believe we've been doing it this long!  i'm putting together a video slideshow of photos from most of our past parties and its brought back so many good memories!  i wrote a completely sappy blog on my Tribe page for my DJ/club/party/rave friends.  i'll spare you that touc...Read more
