TUTORIAL: How To Create The Toy Story Look
About a month ago, someone commented on a #YouTube video that I had done, and they wanted to know how to create the "Toy Story Look" inside of #AfterEffects using Video Copilot's #Element3D. This request just happened to coincide with my kids binge watching the first 3 #ToyStory movies in anticipation of seeing #ToyStory4.

Introduction to S_ParallaxStrips in Sapphire 2019.5

FREE 3D MODEL
Quite a few years back, I worked with Greenberg Direct to create some #3Dmodels and #3Danimations for a direct response commercial that they were doing for a product called Zyppah RX. It was a dental appliance that helped increase the air flow of a person at night to reduce the amount of snoring. Since the basic shape of the appliance is a “U”, that’s where I started.

AFTER EFFECTS: Project Breakdown - "Alien Planet"
A few weeks ago, Las Vegas hosted #NAB2018 and it was a blast! I had the privilege of participating as a presenter at the BorisFX booth discussing how I use #AfterEffects, #Cinema4D and the #Sapphire plugins in my day-to-day production workflow.
