My Multimedia Specialist Demo Reel encompassing a number creative and professional projects.
Resume
Projection Mapping
The following is a large scale projection mapping installation entitled, "Unraveling."
The installation includes two three by six foot reinforced plywood panels wrapped in white fabric with a polished alabaster mask sculpture set into the top left panel.
The visual projections are divided into three distinct chapters.
The whole installation has a total runtime of an hour and twenty two minutes and includes music from seven unique musical acts.
I used the project as a way to explore issues of mental health, isolation, social media and its relationship with identity and the body. Software used for the project included Autodesk Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D and Zbrush, Adobe After Effects, Premiere, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator as well as Ultimaker Cura for 3d printing, Dragonframe for stop motion and HeavyM for Projection Mapping.
