I got permission from Motley Crue to use their song and found an actress through VFS's acting program. She pulled off a pretty good Psycho. We were supposed to cut the songs to no longer then 90 seconds but ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/12/18/just-another-psycho/ I saw this story the other day and thought it was pretty cool. Reminds me of when I played hockey. My grandmother died when I was about 15 and when I walked into the church I saw my entire team at the funeral. I didn't know they were going to ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/12/14/why-hockey-is-the-best-sport/ Demo reel from Matthew Simon on Vimeo. A short demo reel I put together to get a creative brief for my final project. Its just a compilation of my work from the past couple terms. http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/11/22/demo-reel/ Bobby Fischer (Version 2) from Matthew Simon on Vimeo. Here is an edited version of the infographic. We decided to cut the ending off after he dies because too many people thoguht it was already over before the rewind scene happens. We made a few small edits that we weren't too ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/11/07/bobby-fischer-version-2/ Bobby Fischer Infographic from Matthew Simon on Vimeo. 3 of us made this in about 6 weeks. It took about 280 hours of work and very little sleep. Julia and Ji Yeong made some amazing assets. They created basically everything, except the 3D elements which I did. We would have liked ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/10/26/bobby-fischer-infographic/ We had to design a beer for Branding class. I came up with Sliver. Its a "Live Beer" that is very healthy for you. A "Live Beer" had extra yeast and sugar added to the bottle so it continues to ferment until its opened. It adds a more complex flavour ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/10/26/sliver/ Title Sequence from Matthew Simon on Vimeo. This project kind of got neglected because of the infogrpahic. I didn't start this until 3am the night before it was due. So for maybe 10 hours of work put into this it didn't turn out too bad. I would have liked to put ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/10/26/title-sequence-chase/ We needed to make a box explode in Cinema 4D. That was too easy and boring. After learning MoGraph, how could you not want to make a Transformer? This only took a couple hours and turned out pretty cool for my first try. http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/10/10/spider-explosion/ 3D Chessboard from Matthew Simon on Vimeo. Here is a 3D piece i made for our Bobby Fischer Infographic using Cinema 4D. It was pretty much our first time animating 3D so sorry if the camera is too nauseating. This is probably going to be used as the intro to our ... http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/10/10/3d-chessboard/ http://dd.ourvfs.com/dd12mat/wordpress/2008/09/18/slash-t-shirt/
