Audio in After Effects



Had to separate the highs and lows, convert the audio to key frames then use expressions in the code (linear, value) to pick whip the data to Particular and get the audio to sync up. Pretty cool effect. Thanks Andrew Kramer.

Blufire Studio project for BYU


Once a year Blufire Studios awards BYU with a scholarship where they provide visual effects to one film.  This year Cricketless won.  Since I am an intern at Blufire Studios I was given the raw footage along with the Photoshop and Illustrator files and asked to composite the graphics into the film.  I was also responsible for the rotoscoping and animating of the graphics.  Visit the Cricketless website for more information about the movie.
I was responsible for a total of twenty-three 2-6 second long clips.  Below are some before and after stills of some of the shots I was responsible for.






I received three credits in the movie, Compositor /Rotoscope Artist /Motion Designer.
This was a great project and I learned a lot.
