Compositing Fundamentals - CFM - Full Sail University

I want to start off by saying for me this class was a blast. I loved it and look forward to more in the future. At the end of the class we had the chance to to just make a video of our choice just to explore the program more and figure out things ourselves. Could use a lot more work but I learned so much and had a blast doing it. Here is my final thrown together filmed/edited and composited in just 6 hours.

Star Wars: Lego Darth Vader

I just completed a fun little project to break up all of my other work. Recently Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out and I wanted to join in on the current digital trend. Browsing around I found new Star Wars Lego packs and wanted to replicate Darth Vader with a twist.

Rustic Kitchen and Ottoman

Environment

Today I have also decided on a few environments that I will be working on. I always seem to base a lot of my style on grunge, apocalyptic, mad max type of feel to my art. I want to spread that horizon a little bit further with more rustic/contemporary style piece. I have chosen this kitchen and ottoman as my next environments to also work on. Today I have started the block out.
