DESCRIPTION: Since I am a huge Marvel fan, I had always wondered how the Doctor Strange portals were created. I decided to research and learn how to create it on my own. It was challenging since I had to create custom code inside After Effects to create all of the different portal effects.

DESCRIPTION: With the combination of Mocha and Cinema4D, this is a CGI shot with the Eye of Agamotto from Doctor Strange. I had to download a 3D model of the eye and I used it to create this effect. I also went to a local antique store to get the footage of the table to capture that “ancient” look.

DESCRIPTION: For this project, I had my brother help me film this shot. This project was focusing on using Mocha inside of After Effects. In much trial and error, I learned that I needed to put a cotton ball at the end of the wand in order for it to track properly.

PROFESSOR: Marcio Gonçalves
SEMESTER/TERM: Summer 2020
INSTITUTION: The University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: This was my first main project for this class. All of the photos are Google stock images that I replicated and placed together in order to create a mini short film. It was challenging creating a 2D images into a 3D space, but I really loved seeing the end result after much work.

SEMESTER/TERM: Summer 2020

DESCRIPTION: For this project, we had to just use images to project a story. We used some basic tools in After Effects like the move tool to calculate the trajectory and laying of the text and characters. I used Google Images for the airport background of Civil War to capture the scene where Steve Rogers and Tony Stark fight against one another.
