I worked with a designer to animate two explainer videos for ZS Associates, a sales and marketing consulting, outsourcing, and technology firm.

This explainer video was part of a series, created for NCSA to introduce student athletes to the ways they can assist them in their college journey.  

I took a script and a set of boards from a designer, then animated the rest.

I worked alongside an illustrator to animate this explainer video. The goal was to introduce viewers to Amia, a new home dialysis system.  It briefly covers its operation and how it can improve their quality of users' lives.

The video can also be found at the bottom of the Amia website: https://www.amia.com/

I’ve had the opportunity to work on a few videos for Frigo Cheese over the past few years, doing some greenscreen compositing, animating logos, and other fun little elements.

I worked with the motion graphics team at XVP Comedy on this parody trailer for Jurassic Park.  The idea was to take the actors' regular shoes and feet (as well as other objects), and replace them with cheesy high heels.

I did about half of the compositing on this project (generating clean plates, camera tracking, adding shoes, rotoscoping, etc).  I believe this video went semi-viral... it definitely was a weird and fun project to work on!

I worked with an artist to animate several whiteboard videos for Discover.

The videos aim was to educate viewers on a number of financial concepts, as well highlight the services/products that Discover offer.  A few of them are currently hosted on Discover's Youtube page.

Miss Mary Mech, Mech, Mech! All made of Tech', Tech', Tech'!

This is a short animation I did in School of Motion's C4D Basecamp course. The models were provided, and I was tasked with animating them and adding in cameras and adjusting lighting and whatnot.

I opted to see what Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots would look like if Mattel was attempting to expand the product into a different demographic. I figured they might opt for a *slightly* softer tone. :)

Recently, I've been experimenting with doing some character animation with After Effects.  Sort of a fun challenge; there's something satisfying about setting up rigs for these little guys...

My brother, Brian Emling (http://brianemling.com/) designed the really cool dinosaur and alien , by the way.  Definately check his stuff out!

This explainer video was created for a pharmaceutical company.  The goal was to briefly show how the pharmecuetical market was structured in India.

I took illustrations and a set of boards from a designer and animated the piece.

Another short logo/title animation (text has been altered from the original version, for anonymity).  The client wanted a simple, clean look... I think it worked out fairly well.

I recently took School of Motion's Design Bootcamp course.  Lot's of work, but no complaints here; I learned a decent amount!

This assignment was for a promotion of a show by NASA, about a future mission to Mars.  We initially had to create some style frame options, then create a set of boards from one of them.  I ended up combining them a little... taking the overall style of one, and a bit of the color scheme of the other.

A short logo animation for a fundraising gala, benefiting Northwestern University's Hippocratic Cancer Research Foundation. It was used as a loop during the event, and later in a recap video.

I recently took School of Motion's Design Bootcamp course.  Lot's of work, but no complaints here; I learned a decent amount!

This assignment was to create a title design and a set of show opening boards for a new Fox show, called Urban Freestyle: Tokyo Throwdown.

Using footage from a 6 GoPro rig, I stitched together the footage using Autopano Video Pro and Giga.  Additional graphics were added in using Skybox Studio for After Effects, and the seams and nadir (that's the bottom bit, where there was no camera coverage) were corrected a bit with some good ol' fashioned hard work in Photoshop.

I also worked on an interactive version of this video for GearVR, Android and iOS devices.  In that one you can trigger information pop-ups yourself and switch from scene to scene at your own pace.  I'll have to see if I can get that working on the web at some point...
