Miscellany


See what I’ve been up to in grad school (a compilation of favorite projects + greatest hits)




World-Building in Cinema 4D 

          

Exploring architectural design, lighting and 3D animation




 

Explorations in Stop-Motion 

          

Making ramen noodles with hair tools


38-second stop-motion animation, consisting of 600 frames, shot in Dragonframe on a Canon Mark III

Unlike other filmmaking mediums, stop-mo lets you achieve magical realism without special effects. You get the cinematic quality of film and the conceptual freedom of animation



Homemade Controller

          

Using serial communication to make a biscuit-eating video game



Analog inputs generated on an Arduino microcontroller manipulate p5.js sketches on my laptop. Turning the potentiometer (knob) controls my dog’s (Grady’s) position so he eats the the falling biscuits.







Window Seat 

          

Gesture-operated lamp makes you feel like you're in an airplane window seat, cruising through a sunset at 36,000 ft


I connected an Adafruit Proximity/Gesture Sensor and NeoPixel LED strip to an Arduino Uno (5V) microcontroller. Running on Adafruit's code library, I programmed the sensor to detect gestures within a 6-inch threshold. The LED colors and animation patterns change based on gestures detected.

To turn the lamp on, wave your hand in an upward motion, similar to the way you’d open an airplane window shade.
To turn on, wave hand in an upward motion, similar to the way you’d open a plane's window shade. Wave hand left or right to switch lighting colors/motif
