Album Cover Comp 1

Friday, April 11, 2008

This is my first comp design for the album cover. I dig this, but I’m going to explore other ideas. (The text is more readable when it’s printed.)

My First After Effects Compositing Experiment

My First After Effects Compositing Experiment from jzellis on Vimeo.
Shot with my iSight at Starbucks and composited in a few minutes. Not perfect, but a good first try, I think.

Portfolio Is Up

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Still needs some work (mostly technical), but it’s there. Lemme know what you think, and if you notice anything silly and obviously wrong with it. Other than the weird loading page and the pixelated sample images, which I can’t seem to fix.

Some badass Flash animation

Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Here’s the intro for my new Flash portfolio. I’m madly proud of this. (And no, it’s not done, and yes, I know there’s a single pixel-wide line on the right.)
It’s a ridiculously labor-intensive piece, created in Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash. I had to hand-trace each of 240 frames of exported animation from Cinema […]

Picture From First Friday

Monday, February 11, 2008

Here’s a picture of me, taken by the lovely Republic of Seana at First Friday. You can sorta see my projected art in the background.

And yes, that’s a cross around my neck. And no, I haven’t turned Christian. It’s my good luck cross.

Giger Marble.

Monday, February 4, 2008

New Processing piece: Giger Marble. It’s based off of, well, a bunch of Jared Tarbell’s code and ideas, so no real credit to me here, other than figuring out how to do everything but the color scheme without looking at his code at all.
Pretty, though. It takes its color palette from H.R. Giger’s Brain Salad […]

Thanks, everybody!

Saturday, February 2, 2008

Thank you so much to everybody who stopped by my little projection show at First Friday last night! It meant a lot to me that y’all showed up. I was pretty happy with how it turned out — despite the fact that I had klieg lights pointed at my screen, which made it kinda hard […]

All These Worlds Are Yours I

Thursday, January 31, 2008

All These Worlds Are Yours I is another generative Flash piece. Very simple, but I like it — it produces extremely iconic images.
And yes, before anyone says it, I was definitely thinking of that sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey, even though the title is taken from 2010: The Year We Make Contact.
