Personal work
I don’t know why but I dreamed this up and had to make it.
Animated logo I made for a friend’s website. An in-kind donation. He gives me free beats all the time.
One of the first animations I made in After Effects. This is by no means my greatest creation but it was while making this that I had my lightbulb moment with creating compositions in After Effects. Everything came easier after this.
In summer 2023 my wife and I obtained 23 plastic pink flamingos. We invited our 23 most creative friends over for a party in which they all left with a flamingo. Seven weeks later they came back with decorated flamingos and we put on a fashion show. Those seven weeks prior to the fashion show was a tour de force for me with project managing. Getting 23 friends to meet a deadline easy no easy task. I was the world’s largest pain-in-the-ass for those seven weeks. Whatever—it worked.
Each flamingo was placed atop an electric lazy susan and had it’s own lighting, music, list of hobbies, and script.
I created a deck of cards with each flamingo on it and gave one to everybody who participated.
A few of the cards shown here.
We had originally asked for 7 flamingos from a friend to spruce up the ugliness of the light well. The original vision realized with more flamingos than intended—plus a few scattered around the apartment.
Why did I make this? I don’t know if I know why.
