Final Churches

So I had the compositor run the Tilt/Shift on these shots and this is the final look.  Just to note, I am not going to do everything T/S but for the series we are working on it does keep our style consistent.  It has been very nice to have someone to run a final pass on my 3D, really makes it pop.

Heidelberg Church v1

Building another "church door" shot for work  this one is of the Heidelberg Church.  I am not finished with it yet but we are getting there. I have to add a window and door hardware and a few other items to dirty it up a bit.

Jail Cell version 2

Sent this over to the compositor I work with.  He has been working with the tilt/shift style.  This is the end result.

London - 1700's

Working on a "London" street scene, trying to place the model close to the 1700's however this might not be old enough.  Regardless, the final look was achieved by the help of the composite, which was done by a fella I work with, Jon Braucher.  I need to add a bit of dirt and debris...but for now it is a good placeholder. 

Jail

A guy at work needed a jail cell for a shot - he gave me a bit of reference and told me it did not need to have textures...well we can't let it go out without a dash of color.  Everything was done in Maya 2012.

Steam Punk - gadget

Doing some "Steam Punk" type gadgets - this one unfortunately got the ax before it made it into the final.   Win some - lose some.

Interesting Render

This "set" is already posted to my portfolio gallery but I really liked this render.

Almost But Not Quite

A shot I currently have calls for an assortment of people from all ages and cultures, so our illustrator at work gave me all these people.  The original idea was to assemble them in Ps then off to Final Cut.  After getting them into FCP it was just too flat, so we headed off to Maya for a bit more flexibility and the extra added depth.  I think it is better, or at least it is clearer.

PS > FCP

Baxters _QR Code

My sister came up with the idea of using a QR code in local ads and on flyers - so we got the code for baxterspartystore.com and did a few alternate designs.  - I understand not all of them actually work, but they were fun to play with. I will keep trying.

Baxters Party Store

This past year my sister and I designed a site for the family business, Baxters.  We started with recreating the logo and overall look for the site.  We used free software from Yahoo! so the design had to be super simple yet still be able to have the flexibility to add and remove products from the pages.  This site was not going to have a shopping cart but we still wanted more than just "here is our phone and street address" on the page.

We collaborated on all the designs and Ann, my sister, did the final assembly.

We are working on a holiday swappable character named Marty the Party Guy, - he is still wandering around the pipline...  (WIP)

Modern Library-ish (WIP)

This set got nix'ed halfway through the project due to script changes. Therefore this piece is a 'work in progress.' (WIP)

Off And Running

New updated profile picture. Used two 430EX-II speedlights controlled wirelessly from the camera. Cool.
