My Masters of Digital Media major work. Although it is open for interpretation, the work represents the intertwining life cycle of a $10 bill and a male. The bill returns to the male at different stages of his life to show how he reacts to money. Although the character realises that there is more to life than money towards the end, the character is actually in an endless and inescapable cycle, as he shows his son (which really is himself) how to plant a money tree.

My graduation film Khoda.
Description:
What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!

Director and art director: Reza Dolatabadi
Written by Reza Dolatabadi & Mark Szalos Farkas
Animation by Adam Thomson
Music by Hamed Mafakheri

Okay, so down here in Australia most people say “see-ga” rather than “say-ga”. Plus; I totally think that voice at the start of the Megadrive games sounds a whole lot more like “see-ga” or “seh-gah”, than “say-ga”

This is my major project for 3rd year BA(multimedia) at RMIT (which I graduate from this year), created over about 4 months.

Software used: Maya 8.5, After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash.

All modelling/texturing/lighting, animating and compositing done by me.

Voice over by Josh Molenkamp, who was kind enough to record for me while I was helping him with his 2nd year project.

Help thinking up some of the jokes by Emily Spehar (thanks!).

This is my first attempt at music visualisation, using the Processing programming language, building on the Zeno animation system I’ve been developing for my first two videos Music is Math and Metamorphosis. This time it’s Radiohead with their Bodysnatchers track from In Rainbows.

What has helped this particular form of music visualisation is that it’s already based on a pre-existing generative animation system, so the audio reaction just adds another dimension. It’s a 50/50 generative + audio reactive piece.

Animated by Austin illustrator Divya Srinivasan, this video depicts three sleepy ghost kids following a heterochromic fox through a snowy twilight. When the group discovers an impromptu critter disco in a forest clearing, the spirits and strays dance in harmony until a cranky babushka bemoans the noise and breaks up the party. Thus, the spectral youths return to the astral plane… but not without a final farewell to their new found animal friends.

The song is from The Octopus Project’s album “Hello, Avalanche,” released in 2007 on Peek-A-Boo Records.

This is not the official music video. It’s just a fan video I made.

The song is “Water Curses” by Animal Collective. I started making this in an attempt to learn Flash cs3. There are two basic layers in this animation, a flash layer at 24fps, and a stop motion powderd charcoal layer at 12fps. They are mixed together in nifty ways with After Effects.

I can’t seem to get the video to look as good on vimeo as id like. so if you really want to see it clear in hd, just download the source video.

you can read more about this video here musictovideo.blogspot.com/2008/10/water-curses.html

no tweening was used in the making of this video

The story of star’s journey to turn into the sun.

(*This is the first time I’ve ever illustrated and animated anything in its entirety in Illustrator and After Effects on my own, so I apologize for the shotty animation and the poor illustrations…I’m still learning.)

Over 100 layers in AE, 10 hours of painstaking self-learning, rendering, exporting, 3 glasses of wine, impatience, 2 cups of coffee, and four puffy spicy Cheetos.
