Warm Bed

Drawing this makes me really look forward to the weekend where I can just lay in bed......

My first REAL Model in Cinema 4d

I modeled the stylus for our AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Device launch video. This isn't my first model but its my first model that I did on my own without a tutorial that is being used for something other than sitting on my blog. I am really proud of how it came out considering how new I still am to Cinema 4D. The hardest part was those little ridges on the body of the pen. With every model I make I learn something different! I decided to make a little compilation video of my models animating on a plain background to really show the model. Here is the video its being featured in and then a little model reference video.

Make Up Artist and Animator

I'm really excited to show you this video. Not only did I help design and animate but I also had a chance to use my make up skills as the make up artist for this video. Cosmetology has always been a hobby of mine. In college I would do hair and make up for my friends studying fashion design for there runway shows. This is really the first time since then I have had a chance to do anything with it. Even more exciting is its for an AT&T video. I'm thinking of collecting some images to make a mini portfolio of my hair and make up work just for fun. 

Fran Brill Retires

Famous puppeteer Fran Brill retires today after decades of showering us with her talent. I was lucky enough to meet her along with the rest of the Sesame Street family in 2009 when I visited the set. How did I get a VIP pass to Sesame Street? It just so happens that my Uncle also calls Sesame Street home and like Brill has been apart of the creative team since the very beginning.
P.S. She was also in one of the greatest films of all time "What About Bob?"
Here are some photos from my visit!

Last Class in Cinema 4D Today

Here is an image of my most recent model in Cinema 4d. This is the Unite Pro a great device for modeling because it posed a lot of challenges with such a complicated design.

I am sad to say my classes are over. Thankfully there are endless online tutorials for me to learn more. Although I think the most learning I do will be when I start incorporating the program into my regular work flow. The old saying is true practice makes perfect!

Sneak Preview

Here is a sneak preview sketch of something I have been working on for the past few months. More soon.....

Save The Date Postcard Design

Here is a Save The Date postcard I helped design for my friends Rina and Jerry who are getting married.

Cinema 4d Cupcake

Cinema 4D Cupcake! :) Another awesome tutorial from Grey Scale Gorilla.

Banana Cam Continued

Here is some progression with my Banana Cam. I am just starting to learn about lighting and textures. So far that seems like the hardest point for me. I feel really comfortable modeling. My texture and lighting needs work though.

Cinema 4d Here I come

I am so excited to annouce that I have started my Cinema 4d classes, thank you Fleishman! Today was class #2 and I made a Banana Gram ;)
This idea came from Gray Gorilla Scale an awesome resource for 3d tutorials. It's not finished yet but its a start.
I am so excited to be modeling in a 3d program again. I loved using Maya in college but never got far enough with it. Cinema 4d is definitely easier than Maya though so this is a smooth transition.
