RECENT WORK March 2025
Main Video
Style: Bumpers, Experimental
Break down: Advanced Knowledge of After Effects Expressions, compositiing and post processing.
An album teaser trailer for artist: Dani Kiyoko
The video explores the idea of being experimental. Understanding the usage of pacing, certain tones, and graphics would complement the visual in this regard.
Software Used: Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop
Personal Rendition of an Experimental Style
I created this video to see how far I can push myself using strictly After Effects and Photoshop to create obscure visuals. The visuals follow a trend from the broadcast segment, " Adult Swim," also known as bumpers, which were shown in between show segments.
In tandem, I've provided a minor breakdown of my video editing and photoshop processes when it comes to creating freely.
I also took this time to learn a new style of graphics following Japanese Pachinko graphics using a plugin called Eyecandy.
Software Used: Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Eyecandy 7 for Photoshop
Recreation of the metal slug logo using personal branding
Metal Slug has been one of my favorite games since childhood. I got this idea after being interested in the games' wordmark for the entire franchise.
To get more practice, I used Eyecandy to create more in-depth details regarding Chrome, beveling, and much more. A lot more in detail than Photoshop's base options for these factors. Learning from Japanese artists using eye-candy has been eye-opening and impactful. I would recommend it to anyone skilled enough to push past their limitations as a designer.
