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..:)
