3D
modeling and animation:
technical
|
Some
projects may appear
in
several categories
due to their content.
|
fire
hydrant:
ACIPCO (American
Cast Iron Pipe Company) needed a 3D animation to show the construction and features
of their latest fire hydrant design. This animation showed the complete process
of assembling the fire
hydrant and how to repair the unit in the field. |

When
the head engineer of ACIPCO inspected my 3D work, he said that the
main shaft needed more threads to be accurate. I said, "It has
137 threads." He looked
puzzled, and replied, "You actually counted them?" I said, "You
bet." He then
replied with, "Ok, I've seen enough. Good work." I obviously have a
passion for
details and accuracy.

engine
oil:
A fully functioning four cylinder gasoline engine was created in 3D for Valvoline
to show how their Synpower Max oil can be used to increase the efficiency of
older engines. For this project, I thoroughly enjoyed the researching of not
only the construction of a 4 cylinder engine, but the complete
mechanics and |

|

|
| function
of all of the parts. I also wowed the advertising agency when
they called Valvoline to question my animating the cylinders
firing in a 1-3-4-2 sequence, and why the spark plugs were
only firing on every other stroke. Valvoline reassured them
that my research was correct and then gave them the same explanations
that
I
had given them. |
fiber
optics:
The fiber optics component company U.S. Conec needed to show how their products
work together by using animations on their website. From showing how an eight
terminal coupling plate works to showing the exploded view of a connector, these
animations show how easily their products are to use. |

perfectpleat:
When AAF (American Air Filter) needed a demonstration of their new air filter,
PerfectPleat, they came to me. The
animation showed how the PerfectPleat
|
|
|
lasts
three times longer than a conventional non-pleated filter,
and how the pleats
bounce back and continue to function properly even if the filter
is crushed enough to tear the cardboard frame.

|
vehicle
lift:
Easy Lift is an innovative company with an innovative product, and they wanted
to show an animation of how easy it is to install one of their
lifts in pre-existing concrete floors. Although the project
involved animating their different products, the images above
only shows the installation of one of their products. |

 |
TV
and computer:
A more photo-realistic rendition was requested for this broadcast spot for Atlanta's
Best New Homes. In the 30 second spot, the TV swiftly spins
|
|
|
| and
morphs into the computer to show that their television show
is linked to their website. |
helicopter:
Louisville, Kentucky's NBC affiliate was proud of their new helicopter, so they
wanted it modeled in 3D and use an animation of it sweeping quickly by the
camera. They also wanted realism in its look and motion. I delivered. |
 |
palm
pilot:
When
a local production company needed to animate the screen to be used
for the section titles of a KFC corporate conference keynote presentation,
they called me in to get the job done. I built the Palm Pilot in
3D and animated it so that they could add the titles quickly during
the edit. |
