  • Happy 2012!

    Thursday, Jan 19, 2012 11:24PM / Members only

    Hey, look! I'm posting on AnD!

    It surely has been a LOOOONG time since I've posted. So, I'm kicking off 2012 with my most recent demo reel:

    It's in HD, so go full screen with it!  Extra points to any of you who recognize the opening and closing title card references.

    I recently moved to New York after having lived in the San Francisco bay area for 14 years. Strangely, since moving, I've reconnected with a lot of people in unexpected ways. I've volunteered with the Asian American Journalists Association, a group I worked with off and on for about 9 years prior to going back to design school.  I'm back training in wushu two to three times a week! That's more wushu than I've done since 2005!

    A few AnD related run-ins:

    1)  Met up with Dan W. a couple times while he was filming in Manhattan.  Somehow, it works out that we see each other every year or so. It was great to catch up!

    2) This week, had dinner with Ben G. and Jeff D., both formerly with Design Reactor, the web development company that spawned Rotten Tomatoes, which then spawned AnD. Hadn't seen Jeff in about 10 years!

  • Recent Project: Darkspore!

    Wednesday, May 4, 2011 4:05AM / Members only

    This is a recent project that I worked on with fellow AnD member (and an old friend), Luke Harrington.



    This is a compilation of shots from in-game videos I produced for Darkspore, a sci-fi action RPG created by Maxis/Electronic Arts. A total of eight videos were featured in the game: one plays the first time the game is loaded, one before each of the six stages of the game and one upon completion of the game.

    Luke would create his digital paintings in Photoshop and then pass them to me. I would edit them a bit in Photoshop to merge and reduce the layers and then import them into After Effects. All animation was done within After Effects with the help of some incredibly useful tools from AEScripts, Digieffects, Trapcode and Video Copilot.

    Check it out!  Hope you enjoy it!

  • Heading to F5 in NYC!

    Friday, Apr 15, 2011 12:53AM / Members only

    Heading to New York today to attend the F5 festival!  I'm preparing for my trip now and clicking through the list of speakers and presenters and I feel like such a fanboy.  I'm giddy, anxious and nervous!

    Most of the names probably aren't recognizable to most, but their work most definitely is.

    Mark Romanek, director of Nine Inch Nails "Closer" and "The Perfect Drug" music videos.  Fiona Apple's "Criminal" and Johnny Cash's "Hurt"

    Neil Huxley, art director for "The Watchmen" and "Avatar"

    Kid Koala, turntablist and music producer

    Jacob Escobedo, VP of Design for The Cartoon Network and Adult Swim

    And two of my FAVORITE motion graphics and design studios:  BUCK and Onesize.  Check out their amazing design reels below:

  • Creative Inspiration: Danny Yount, Prologue

    Wednesday, Mar 16, 2011 11:14PM / Members only

    Prologue is one of my favorite design studios.  You've seen their work in major films including Iron Man, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Incredible Hulk, Sherlock Holmes and more.

    Danny Yount (previously of Digital Kitchen, one of my other favorite design studios!) is one of the lead creatives at Prologue and recently spoke at this event in Hong Kong.

  • Recent project - Logo animation

    Wednesday, Jan 19, 2011 1:10PM / Members only

    Here's a short little project I completed in my spare time in December.  This was for a local production company called Urge Productions.  Just s simple logo animation for a local organization that's part of the University of San Francisco.  The music was custom scored to the animation and I think it came out really nicely!

    david choe is one of those artists whose work seems so spontaneous it doesn't look like it comes from human hands.

    btw, SICKKKK demo vid!
