WWE: Wrestlemania 23

This is a Wrestlemania 23 promo. I based the concept on each superstar's theme. The Undertaker with tombstones, Shawn Michaels with hearts, etc. I started it off with the basic premise for this event. I used some cool visual and sound effects for entertainment, of course. This is a special extended promotion to create excitement and awareness before the actual WWE event.

Eyeverse

This is a freaky piece of work. I used the particle system on 3ds Max and created a massive field of eyeballs. I made my own textures and applied it to evoke an eerie feeling. I formed an animation to journey around an explosion of eyes. I gave the popping eyes a "blip" sound effect to show the fast paced birth process. Hopefully the stimulation will release a feeling like no other.

Planet Gibbs

I created 3D planets and objects which were all put into Combustion. I also used Flash to create the "typing" text and Illustrator for the alien scanner. I applied some cool effects with the particle system and planned everything out quickly to execute my ideas. As slow as the program was running, I managed to complete it and then add music and sound effects for this outer space adventure.

Global Warming

This is a public service announcement about Global Warming to inform the viewers on how important this situation really is. Over years and years climate change can really impact life as we know it. Water shortages, floods, diseases spreading, and animal extinction are all effects of the Global Warming issue. This animation in particular is the most serious one I have done. Understand this significance.

Dog VS Bee

This is one crazy animation I whipped up with Adobe and Autodesk programs. The bee was 3D modeled, the "Bee Creative" text was cartoon hatched and 3D based, and the rest of the animation was made from customized images. I created my own scenery and hooked up the animation with music and sound effects. This portrays an unlikely event that I conceptualized. I am the voice of the bee, by the way.

Da R Venture

I inserted my name into a video game. The concept was to represent the classic platformers, to perceive a 2D feel in 3D. "R" is the main character, basically just going on a small journey through obstacles to win the game. "B" is a spring that can expand the capacity of speed through jumping. Finally, "O" is an enemy blocking "R" from accomplishing the goal. From start to finish, it's a mini adventure.

Invasion of the Daisy Snatchers

Beginning with a daisy graphic, I created a vector-based bee and made it fly. I closed the petals of the daisy to capture the bee since aliens possessed it. I then made a spin-off of the original I created, deforming it due to a daisy/bee fusion. I then took a picture of my hand and created a vector style for it which hit the bee. I used music and sound effects to bring the animation to life and humor to the stage.

When Two Worlds Collide

I thought of the whole concept in about one minute. I created an angel and devil graphical text and animated them. They each have their own scene which eventually erupts into a worldly collision. I used music that I felt fit in with the feeling of the scenario. Clouds and flames were created to stimulate the mood given by the angel and devil. It ends with a boom!

Touch It (Remix)

There was a lot of sprite work in this animation. I edited video game sprites in ImageReady, adding a cartoonish feeling to it with colorful backgrounds. I made the characters dance to a song I've chosen. When it comes to ImageReady, prediction is an issue because the frame rate changes once exported. I had to play the song and export the animation over and over to get the actions to match the song.

Alien Theft

This is the very first animation that I accomplished with my own custom creations. It is a promotion to a mini series show that I invented. To create the characters I used a unique style with the pencil tool in Photoshop. I outlined each detail in black and filled it in with the color I perceived by squinting my eyes. Alien Theft features a prologue to explain why certain events occur.
