A quick few things about me - I'm a super senior at UW Stout WI working on my Multimedia degree. I've always enjoyed art and visual design as a timeless practice, being that we are such visual beings and that we will always have a need for design, regardless of the period or the media in which it is presented. I like Multimedia because it is the latest form of this, and is an expanding field that still offers change and diversity.
I am currently taking Life Drawing 2 for a variety of reasons. Having worked with 3D computer graphics programs before, I have been exposed to various attempts to mimic the human figure using the computers 3D capabilities. While there have been some incredible results, a movie or image done in a 3D program will still feel not real. Many people say that the human body is too complex and that we will never be able to mimic it. I don't know if this is true or not, but it certainly does pique my interests.
Some of my work from the past
Desperation
This was a video for my Digital Narrative class. The idea behind the video was to pick an emotion and create a video depicting this emotion while generally maintaining a short plot or logical beginning, middle, and end. The way in which the story was presented, whether abstract or not, or what the characters were if there were any at all, was up to the student.
This was done on medium tone gray paper to emphasize the importance of the different gray values, and to express shapes without the use of line. A little on the earlier side of the work I've done but I included it because I like the cross-hatching that ended up giving it a nice depth.
The goal of this project was to create a commercial for a fake car company. The commercial was to introduce a version of a hover car to the market, as kind of a pioneer company introducing new technologies as 'the way of the future.' The car was done mostly in Maya, while the environment around it was actual footage of some streets in St. Paul. The reflection on the car of the surrounding area was all photographed on the scene, which can probably be seen better on the image as the video is a bit small.

Great Video!! Were do I get a car like that. I and fu%%&& tired of paying 4 dollar a gallon.
Terrific site! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Me gustó bastante la paradoja del "Desespero" rápidamente sitúa un aprendizaje que queda grabado automáticamente en la memoria y esto puede ser un medio de propaganda efectiva, muy efectiva.
great work, i from venezuela, ist very conceptual, is great video, what program for working?
Great variety of works! Your narrative video is done well, such as the character and composition. And I think you're successful in terms of the project's goal.
I do agree that the cross-hatching gives your still life drawing more depth. The flagship video is impressive, not just the modeling, but composting the rendering with the background footage worked real well.
Love the car video. I took 3D one and was pretty much frustrated the whole time... so difficult to get just the right texture, specularity, and realistic motion. You did a really nice job with all that, textures are great and the motion is super smooth.
All your three pieces are very impressive. Your first piece that you did for your digital narrative course embody a great since of trapped and needing to reach for others. I can depict an emotion of aloneness from the short animation.
Your still life piece shows great since of observation of the form and space. I like your technique of cross-hatching to show depth.
I feel that your third piece is done very well. Very nice concept and idea of futuristic vehicle. But what I like most about your car placing it in real environment.
