A Rigid Beginning

This last year I returned to school for the first time in nearly three years to study Cinematography in Spain. Towards the end of the year I encountered slight financial difficulties and had to put studying on hold. I made this logo as an intro to a short film I was working on.

The Adventures of Dim: A Mechanical Crusade

Dim is a slightly more developed version of a capacitor.

Him and others alike work as grunts in a factory supplying
short bursts of power where the other robots demand.

When the chief robot decides to downsize the company,
he sends in the big guns to... eliminate the problem.

Dim, reluctantly chosen by the others to take the fall,
faces a giant goliath sized beast. A legend.

To be continued...

As mentioned before, in animation class we were only a handful of students in what was actually an architecture class. Recently I decided to make a model of a house.




More Photoshop


Modeled in 3D Studio Max with ink and paint textures.

A bomb...


The Final Frontiere

I downloaded and installed "Eve" with a 30 day trial. Great game but very complicated. After the 30 days were up, I let it go. I was left with a great urge to make another spacecraft.

Animation: Earlier Works


I actually took an animation class for a total of 10 semesters in High School. The only problem was that there wasn't actually an animation teacher. We were a small group of four to six students who sat in the shadows of an architectual drafting class.


If we had a question, a problem or nothing at all... it didn't matter. Our grade was cemented as an A+ no matter what we accomplished.




Word somehow arrived at our school that there was a statewide competion and that animation/digital visualization was a catagory. Our teacher sent us down to Boise, Idaho to compete.



The competition was to make a comercial for a television company. Accidentally, we won first place in the eight hour competition and a grand prize of 20 dollars to be spent specifically in walmart. We were officially the best highschool level animators in the state... of Idaho.
