Ident Animation

A few months ago for an animation project we were asked to create an ident that we could use for our personal use for things such as our websites or showreels etc. I wanted to do something in 3D as I felt it was one of my strongest areas. I decided to go with a production line style where it creates the letters of my name to then create the word 'Josh'. I added some dub-step music which I think fitted in with the style of this animation and added some glitchy parts in the video to go with the music.
Created in Lightwave 3D. Edited together and effects added in Final Cut Pro X.

Dystopian Environment

In one project we got given last year I had to create a dystopian style environment and create a video and renders of the scene. I really liked this project and it gave me the freedom to create what I wanted and imagined a dystopian environment to be like.

Contextual Studies Essay

This essay was an examination of the video game 'Saints Row 3' in relation to contemporary critical theory (Jean Baudrillard)
For this essay we were asked to pick a video game or film which we could analyse and compare to contemporary critical theory.

Ideal Home

This project was done way back in 2010 for my first college course. I had to create an ideal room that we would like to live in in 3D. I included a nice sofa, a Playstation 3 because I like to do a bit of gaming when I have some free time and I also have a big TV and football on it! (Created in Lightwave 3D.)

Soul Buggin' DJ Visuals

This was a client brief we did at college for a local DJ who wanted some visuals creating for his 80's music club nights that take place every month.
Once I had researched 80's style themes and came up with some good ideas I created this video in After Effects!

3D Typography

We were asked to choose a motivational speech from a film we liked and create a 3D typographic video for it. I chose the film 'Kicking & Screaming' which stars Will Ferrell who coaches an unsuccessful kids 'soccer' team in America. The speech is from his assistant manager and former NFL player Mike Ditka who is trying to encourage the players to battle and try and win the game. I created this video in Lightwave 3D.

Rotting Fruit & Frying Mushroom Time-Lapse

For an animation/moving image project we got given a while ago I decided to photograph fruit over a period of time until it had gone rotten. I set up my camera in my bedroom and used an intervalometer which would automatically tell the camera to take a picture. I set the interval for about 10 minutes in between each image. After about 5 days it started to stink! The mushroom time-lapse was done over a period of about 5 minutes with the cooker on the highest temperature.
