apparently, i'm not doing okay lately, so i decided to go for a DNA check-up! well, what's that have to do with it!! alright, might be i was just visualizing how it's going to be.it's so much easier to face something if you already know what you're gonna dealing with..
*sigh* quite a long unnecessary intro, but as usual, lets get down to business...
i'll make it quick.. Software | AE CS3, Vegas 8, Maya 2011 * Music | Riddick Media . Nikopol. Ukraine *
ok, that's it! Have a nice day..take a good care of your health, always..:D

Yet, another chance in Maya and came up with this one. Surely it holds many possibilities, but for now, this is what i have been produced so far. I was thinking to create a growing flower, with another technique other than the paint effect in maya, although that would be good. I'm still using the array animation script from creative crash. With just one object, you can duplicate it and see what you can come up with. See ya :D

Okay, here's another trial and error with maya and AE. obviously, trapcode particular is being used, and OF also. For the blur, Frischluft out of focus did a pretty good job. For overall color look, magic bullet was useful enough to create the overall mood and feeling.There's one thing that could easily changed the whole mood and that's the color scheme. I was back and forth deciding which theme i should used, but different color made different impression.i could have rendered with various colors to see which one works, but again..it;s a matter of preference..and perhaps this would go for another direction, who knows..:D

And the award goes to...its probably because of many award ceremonies lately, so my theme now is music award opening, its pretty short..
I have no idea what my idea was, but it turns out not bad :D maybe just an excuse, the important part is to learn something..and based on the script for maya, its called "Duplicate Animation Array".
Pretty good stuff, so make sure you get it and have fun with it..:D

There's a cool free plugin for AE, it is Sinedot. It's very useful to create something organic flow or waveform, vectorscope kinda thing. I don't know what you guys call it, but it is very handy. I tried some settings to create backgrounds or graphics elements. But in this video, I put also trapcode particular elements, I just can't leave it alone..*sigh*..Well,Be sure to play with Sinedot..Cheerrss :D

Quite sometime ago, I found thisAbduzeedo Website. It was all because of my class project, looking for a new design. It was originally photoshop class. Then, I was wondering how it'd look like if it moves. Yep, this is as far i can go, for now.. hope can make it a little further, and better...Oh, the evolution stock footage was also used and alot of masking works..to get the color theme..I kinda like it..:D

Another experiment, this time i'm playing around with 3D stroke, it's very useful to create line streaks like this and oh, and my first attemp on 3D text using Zaxwerks Pro Animator. It was pretty neat and relatively fast comparing if you are going back and forth between AE and your 3D application. I'm still not used to it, since there's no really freedom in a sense that you pretty much have limitations in light, material, etc, but you can get descent result in no time.. try it for yourself..!!
See ya..:)

Recently, I have been playing with trapcode form. It was so fun that I created something like this and keep dragged on. I put the vector blur, makes the lines resembles the "vines", at least that what I thought :) But eventually, hey, maybe it's not the vines that I'm looking at, perhaps it's a neuron. Mmm...that's a start. First task, where the neuron's place could be? well, the easiest thing that I could think of was the "Brain". So, I put it inside the brain and gave the title, Beyond science.. I didn't even know what title it's supposed to be there :)I'm thinking to make something like this. Trapcode Form has many features, and the presets are always a good start.

So, for the past couple years, i promise to myself, why not making a reel. It becomes really important as i want to apply for a position. Usually, they are asking for it and it's exactly what it means for. Most of the times, you can let people know what you are capable of through your demo reel. The rule is simple, if they like it, you'll get hired, otherwise you have to find another openings.I have a simple idea about how to make a reel, so make sure you know what your style is, and who knows it will make a big difference.

Yay!!! as i promised, actually to myself, though..:) i am done with opening graphics, compiled it, also put on the music score. Eventually, i had to change a little bit the overall look. Since it has blueish theme, with gold colour..i thought it would be suit the theme well if i changed the theme on "box office text".
Anyway, i am pretty happy with the result, now its time to get some coke and french fries..
sweet..:)

so, i just made this graphics..out of nowhere.just kidding..i've always wanted to make something, object or titles, shiny!! there you go..it's shiny enough for me. I threw some lights out in Maya, with couple of settings with material i used. What's that colourful lines? that's from optical flares plugin which called winter aurora..something like that..although i believe fractal noise could get you something like that too, but right now just wannna play with OF for a while. It's still has no music or opening graphics for now, but let me think about it on the weekend..mmm..let's see about that..:)

This project, actually started a while ago when i was in college. Especially the image itself, the idea was to create something unlike any other, it means something abstract. What i thought was creating random shapes, pull it in, out and so on...that's what came up. I didn't know what it was, that's good because that's supposed to be. Anyway, when i look at it again now, i want to make it move. A little bit of thought of movements, and right there, you have it. It takes quite amount of time to render from maya with my adorable laptop, so i had to decrease the quality and it's obvious from the jaggies on the edges. Finally, i had my fun playing around again with maya. Feels good..:)

I came across videocopilot.net for countless time, and there was a project file called glass project. My head started to think of some possibilities that i could use the project for. This motion graphics is my first one, maybe there will another one, or many other ideas..who knows?? . In this project, i added the dust and noise, for or cloud that you can see as the background. I also changed the camera movement. Instead of going back, i prefer forward and that's pretty much that i wanted to change, plus the pictures and title.So, thanks a lot to A.K. of videocopilot.net for the project file and i very recommend that you should get it too, along with other free stuff.

The idea came up after i watched the movie "The Time Traveler's Wife". With subtle color, beautiful out of focus (bokeh) look, it was just awesome. So, I tried to recreate those looks in this graphics. I used the standard particle system in AE, CC particle world and Frischluft out of focus plugin. The same result for the blur if you use the lens blur, i just want to try something different this time. I added several elements, such as: the flare and videocopilot's evolution. It turned out pretty much like the way i wanted from the perspective that i could get the feel of the overall graphics look, especially the bokeh.

Once again, I tried to create graphics for news. This time, it's more like a package. Started with the opening news with morning theme with yellow and green fresh colors, then the night theme with elegant dark blue, the headline, lowerthird, teaser, promo, and finally the plasma -if needed-
I played with the particles, lenscare out of focus plug-in. Note that this lens-blur-like plug in could consume more time, but it pays off with the result. It can be benefited more if you are working in HD, the soft blur was just great. Unfortunately, i just rendered this out in mpeg-vcd quality.
Software used: After effects CS3, sony Vegas 8.

So, these are the animations that i have been working on while i was in college, doing some walk-cycle, lip-sinc, sneak-cycle. Yes, it needs alot of improvement, and that's why i'm here, writing and posting this, because i believe in good and constructive comments are very essential. Besides, it's a never-ending learning...Agree?

This compilation consists of some works that i have done in a year or so, it actually represents my interest in different areas, sometimes i do the shooting, editing or even experimenting with audio. Yeah, sometimes i can just grab something, draw it, visualize it , compose it in after effects or any software that i can find. It's more an impromptu approach, although some of the works i have carefully planned. Finally, it's been a lot of fun..:)
