		<description>Campaign: WorkSight
Client: Commissioned by Gyro
Contribution: All 3D &#38; Compositing

I teamed up once again with Gyro for our most ambitious Deere job to date.  For the new Work Sight campaign, they tasked me with turning their complex CAD data into a representation of the whole model built out of binary 1s and 0s.  R&#38;D ran simultaneously with producing renders for their print campaign.  

The animation ended up being an additional challenge because the integration required a transition from the live action plates.  Since we had no camera data or tracking markers a successful track could not be obtained.  I consequently hand tracked the 45 frames leading up to the full take over.

Client: Commissioned by Gyro

I teamed up with Gyro Chicago to create 3D elements for a new John Deere micro-site and trade show.  Showcasing new products and a new mobile recording studio called the ChatterBox.

The ChatterBox was set for a big reveal in Las Vegas.  As a result, I got a background plate of the Vegas Strip.  I composited the chatterbox and cloak that would be on it till the big reveal.

Client: Commissioned by Networked Insights

Music/SFX: Mike Regan

Networked Insights wanted a 15-second pre-roll for  their sponsorship of Ad Age's Super Bowl coverage.  I was given a good framework for how the animation should flow, but I was allowed to bring in my own ideas.  Lots of fun!

This was the first test I did, looking at the feasibility of connecting PF Particles and vertices in Max.  I ended up exporting the particles with Max2AE and importing them into AE as lights.  Plexus could then read this info and then connect the dots!

Completed over a 24-hour period.  I handed off all the 3D elements to Annie Babin of Lava for compositing.  A tight deadline and stiff competition.

I helped American University with some vfx shots replacing various advertising mediums with their university campaign.  In this shot, I had to replace a moving newspaper with one of their print ads.

These were some books I modeled and textured for another shot in which they fall out of a poster in a subway.

I worked closely with the Case-Mate team to help show off various cases for their website and other advertising collateral including a billboard in Times Square.  

All backgrounds pictured below are for my display purposes.  The client renders were delivered with alpha so they could be used in whatever manner.

Toyota wanted to pay homage to the real heroes of Fantasy Football -- the regular Joes with extraordinary achievements. 

We ran through the gamut of various animations, but finally settled on a fairly simple camera truck out to reveal the trophy on its grand podium.  I really like the design of the trophy.  It looks like a legit football trophy at first glance but the toilet paper, computer mouse, La-Z-Boy, and bowl of chips all really sell the fantasy football vibe.

My friend Joe Myers also contributed to the campaign with some sweet sculpts of various football dudes.

Based on the toy by David Weeks.

This is the first character piece I've ever done.  It took a day to model and texture.  The rigging took another couple days and animation took about a week in my spare time.

Point helpers were placed on every possible pivot.  A link constraint was used on each body part in order to have it pivot on any joint at any point in time.  One master helper controlled all vertical movement.
