Photos with the Rhodes

I recently got to create some photos with the Rhodes family! It was great to get to know Hannah, as I'm sure you'll see!

Misfits Graphic Theme

I developed a graphic for FCC's Misfits (Christmas) series, using Blender 3D. I don't usually do characters, so this was a novel project for me.

Kitchen with Cupcakes

I've been working with glass rendering in Blender's Cycles render engine. This is at 5000 passes. Most of the kitchen interior was modeled by Andrew Price. The blender and refrigerator models came from AndexDesign.com. I added the cake dish, plate, and cupcakes, as well as textures, of course.

Recent Random Photos

I took these photos in July, but never got around to posting them... so here they are! My son makes great practice for photography of moving objects!

Rendering 3D Glass

Series Bumper: Awakening

Here's another setup animation I did for a series at Foothills Community Church.



I used After Effects, some huge earth maps from NASA, and a tutorial from VideoCopilot.net about the blue marble.

The song is "Awakening" from Hillsong United's latest recording "Aftermath," which is great!

Stephen Auditions

Stephen demonstrates his musical style with his favorite songs.



Actually, he's been interning with me, and he was helping me set lighting & focus for a video shoot today. But the air-drumming song sounds hilarious! One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one...

Driveway Landing

I was out taking photos of the family when we got a surprise visitor.

Jamie & Dustin: Engaged

I had the privilege of photographing Jamie and Dustin in anticipation of their upcoming fall wedding! I sincerely enjoyed getting to know them better.
Jamie and Dustin - I'm so glad you guys found each other, I'm looking forward to what God does with your relationship, and I hope these photos help you remember these moments for a long time to come.

Jamie & Dustin: Engaged Preview

We had a great time taking engagement photos of Jamie and Dustin this week! Here's a sample of the photos we took - more to come soon!

Series Bumper: Control Freak

Here's an animation I created in 3D for a message/theme setup for the series "Control Freak" at FCC.

I used Blender to create the scene and animate in 3D. I modeled the controller based on a Sony Playstation DVD controller. The mug and the cell phone models were found in the Blender Repository.

Some final effects, sequence editing, and audio were added using Final Cut Pro.



The song "Control" is by MuteMath. You should definitely buy their music, which is excellent.

Baton Rouge Zoo

Here's a photo tour of the Baton Rouge Zoo. No photo editing; mostly animals as captured on my 18-135mm.
