For this project I made a personal 3D branding logo introduction. I created this animation to increase recognition on my content and brand for social media. I'm working on creating content that showcases my process as I work on motion design. The idea is to break down how I create my work and the editing required to get to the finished result. To enhance the interaction for audiences I used a series of free to use CC0 sound effects to bring the animation to life! Below I've decided to credit the work of these sound designers.

This is my most recent 3D animated project. My goal was to showcase my skills in hard surface modeling, lighting, and camera animations. The theme is an animated representation of my creative process as a motion graphics designer. It's fast-paced energy takes the viewer from the conceptual phase where I brainstorm and sketch my ideas (represented by the 3D animated glasses and Micron pens in the first scene). To a GPU (General Processing Unit) which denoises frames of an animation and allows me to preview my rough drafts in the testing portion of my process. Followed shortly afterward by my computer mouse moving around to depict the editing process. Which smoothly transitions into my computer that works tirelessly to render these high-resolution 3D models in Blender (3D software). Ending with my CPU (Central Processing Unit) which sends out information and electrical signals from my motherboard to create and compress my animations! This video takes you from my brain to my computer's brain to recognize the mutual relationship between man and machine that is necessary to make original animated content.

Of Far Different Nature- Liquid Flame (CC0)
The Fifty 03 design was made for the purpose of being a "banner" animation footer for video projects. The challenge here was to find a way to use existing brandmarks to achieve a familiar look that fit brand guidelines. To do this, I decided to recreate the mountain shape into two separate parts to make a frame around the central logo design.
College Avenue is another publication company I worked with at Rocky Mountain Student Media. I had meetings with them to ensure we could convey the essence of their magazine in a CGI format. Most importantly we had the common goal of making the animation unique and recognizable to audiences. To do this I decided to get ambitious and create real pages from their magazine into CGI. The result is a fun animation that utilizes the magazine to introduce their logo.
This flying logo animation was made for a company that uses AI to help customers find their dream home. They wanted to reflect the name of their company, Atlas in an intro animation for a social media launch. I incorporated a CGI cityscape, dynamic movements, and fast paced music to reflect the efficiency of the brand.
When I first started at Rocky Mountain Student Media, I was asked to make a 3D badge logo animation for various online applications. I decided to disassemble the logo to create a LEGO-like assembly of each individual piece. I took inspiration from stadium animations you see on jumbotrons. The essence of fast movement and quick spinning motions were my key takeaways from these animations that I could emulate in this project.
This was a 3D animated project completed in Blender while at Rocky Mountain Student Media Company. I was asked to make a vertical animation for Instagram that could be used for videos. Aggie Style is a magazine focused on how individuals express themselves through personal fashion. They wanted to introduce a logo animation at the start of content videos for better brand identity. So, I utilized the variation in their typography to slide into the frame of the scene. Then, highlighted the stars in their logo as the focal point of the motion design.
Fifty 03 asked me to make an animation for a video they were working on. They were collaborating with Trailcraft Cycles (a biking company). So, we brainstormed ways to combine the intro I made for them previously with something that would portray mountain biking. I came up with utilizing the bicycle pedal and gear as the main focus of the animation. Then to transition that, I made a CGI camera lens to initiate the second part of the introduction.
This animation was an independent project I made to familiarize myself with liquid simulations in Blender. I wanted to make an animation that would test the ability of my computer rendering skills.
