Over the years, I created several well-received 360° animated films for film festivals and online platforms. These 3D animated experiences have garnered millions of views, attracted sponsorships, and received staff picks from companies such as VeeR and Adobe. The films explore a variety of topics, including classic video game remakes, music videos, and original animations.
MARIO VR
Mario VR is a viral video that helped launch the 360 animation craze on YouTube. With over 14 million views and numerous copycats, the project was completed during an 8-week live stream and was recognized as a staff pick by both VeeR and Adobe.
Proxima B Music Video
This 360° music video is a collaboration between myself and Japanese EDM artist Dalziel. Set inside a futuristic, low-rent apartment, the experience immerses viewers in a world where the ghosts of the departed live on as digitized apparitions.
PACMAN VR
Pac Man’s Haunted House reimagines the classic Pac-Man video game as a 360° horror experience. Due to the project's high-quality production, it took a full six months to render and has garnered nearly 1 million views on YouTube.
JOURNEY VR
Journey VR was my first 360° animated film, initially developed as a pilot VR piece for Seattle Fashion Week. At its debut public showing, the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) approached me to include it in the official selection for the 2016 festival. Following SIFF, the game marketplace STEAM invited me to offer it as a rental, and Journey VR quickly became the #1 selling 360° experience on STEAM for 30 days after its public launch.
Sonic VR
With sponsorship from Puget Systems, I was provided with the resources to model, animate, and render the 360° animated film Sonic VR in Cinema 4D. The sponsored video has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube and significantly boosted Puget Systems' visibility.
Results
Since 2016, I've planned, modeled, animated, and produced numerous 360° animated films. These projects have earned multiple sponsorships, widespread acclaim, and millions of views online, and they have also led to speaking engagements where I share my creative process and vision.
