I then took the models i created along with some others into houdini and broke them into many pieces and then imported them back into maya =) in the final scene the broken pieces will be floating around a person in a live action shot creating the infinity symbol.

TED Funded Inside Out Project

Inside Out is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images are made into posters and sent back to the projectʼs co-creators, for them to exhibit in their own communities. I participated in the Bronx and helped post giant photos on buildings, build boards and other locations it was a lot of fun also a bit scary being up on a scaffolding!

Thesis "Munkee"

This is my Senior Thesis called "Munkee" I created it at the School of Visual Arts! It is a mix of 3D and 2D animation and also a good amount of sound design! ENJOY!
