About Me

I've been working freelance at various animation and vfx studios in NYC for the last few years and have recently gone bi-coastal working temporarily in LA.  I also teach animation at the School of Visual Arts.

Nice animation. You know I'm very poetic in my approach to art. Your work describes many things that tickle my imagination. There's art, there's science, there's philosophy, there's emotion. I'm not surprised why there's only one character. I know it's not about loneliness. It's about reality in life where sometimes we need to decide for ourselves alone amidst confusion. On the other hand we hope you can give us a tutorial on LIGHTING and other SPECIAL EFFECTS you used in your movie. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. I have quite a few things on the list that I plan on writing about in the future so definitely check back. In regards to Own your C, you can see how some of the raw renders were put together in composite on Sohee Sohns reel at http://soysauce.tv" REL="nofollow">soysauce.tv
