Boulder High Lightsaber Battle II AJR3 - 274 views - 2 weeks ago
Finally got around to uploading this.

The second year that we have had an epic lightsaber battle on Star Wars Day at Boulder High. This time there were many more people, and over twice as many lightsabers (that we did). For this video, we used Andrew Kramer's Lightsaber Plugin because it wan much quicker and looks better.

It took about a week of work, and the lightsaber count was around 220.

Gun Logo AJR3 - 170 views - 3 months ago
This intro logo was the first real 3d animation that I have done. It is also the first model that I have created (done in Maya). The eye replacement was inspired by Andrew Kramer's Tutorial. The explosion and smoke was done in FumeFX. The reflection distortion was done with a Lens distortion in After Effects.

POrtal Test 1 AJR3 - 436 views - 11 months ago
We played the game Portal and decided to try to make our own portals.

There is a bunch of masking and layers in this effect. We even have some cloning... Done in after effects.

Call of Duty 4 Title AJR3 - 103 views - 11 months ago
Created this from scratch in about 20 minutes just for fun. All done in AE.

Used 2 bevel alphas (one for basic bevel and then a green one for light cast by "modern warfare").

Boulder High Lightsaber Battle AJR3 - 5,538 views - 1 year ago
This was an epic battle that took place during 3rd Period in the school Courtyard. Lightsaber effects were then added in After Effects using the mask feather and colorize method. There are approximately 115 Lightsabers that were rotoscoped over one weekend. The last part that says "See it again on YouTube" took approximately 2 hours to create. The battle was aired on PTV May 14, 2008.

*The original names (in the intro) have been changed for the YouTube version.

Weather Effects AJR3 - 8,075 views - 1 year ago
Here is a project that was originally put together for my Spanish class presentation on the seasons and weather.

Inspired by a video done by Pierre M.

First scene above clouds was done entirely with trapcode particular (cloud blanket and birds)

Going through the clouds was just fractal noise layers, and the rain was Trapcode Particular

Rain on lens was the Mr. Mercury effect (inspired by a Kramer Tutorial), rain in back was particular.

Slow motion rain drops were Mr. Mercury and particular.

The freeze was fractal noise and vector blur.

BPL Earth Zoom AJR3 - 500 views - 1 year ago
This is a video that I did a while back, but never uploaded. I used a few of Andrew Kramer's Tutorials, and created an Earth zoom that starts outside the galaxy.

Just a quick test that was never polished. No sound.

Steven O'Hansen Preliminary Intro AJR3 - 188 views - 1 year ago
This is part of another intro for PTV that I am currently working on. I rendered out this clip so that the program itself wouldn't be trying to animate all the particle effects and video each time I change something. This is only part of the full intro, and the rest is soon to come.

The blue background was added so that I could easily key it out when I re-import it into after Effects.

PTV Thanksgiving Logo AJR3 - 182 views - 1 year ago
Another intro to PTV except this time it is Thanksgiving themed instead of Halloween. Only took about 20 minutes.


The leaves were created using trapcode particular with a custom particle. Trees were photos from the internet that I keyed out from the sky and masked the rest out by hand.
