Owen's Experiments

Sometimes when I'm bored I diddle with computers and here are those diddles.

This particular piece was done after I purchased Trapcode Suite. Particular is a cool plugin and great for wordplay.

I’ve been experimenting with gifs.

Fun fact: Due to the format being optimized for limited color palettes, this GIF is 100% lossless

Oh no...

True story:

I rendered this, uploaded it, and as I was typing Apocolypse I noticed the red line under it. I sighed as I rerendered the whole thing with the title corrected.

My logo animation for Cardinal Vision, Channel 57. Not an official logo, I just thought it looked cool. They may use this somewhere or not. I don’t care. I made it for fun.

Here’s a simplifed version:

Rick and Morty style portal... Made from scratch

Interesting thing I made playing around with Blender. Not the height of my abilities but I thought it was worth sharing.

These were made entirely with audio analysis and expressions.

This ridiculous little creation is made to show off a little experimentation I did. It started with me trying to just see what I could do with a floating head. That's not very impressive but it did lead to me writing some neat expressions. This uses certain points of the face to help keep the face centered. All this because I wanted to reuse some old footage for something goofy.

Expressions for the lazy

Anchor Point:

div(add(effect("Face Track Points")("Left Eyebrow Outer"), effect("Face Track Points")("Mouth Right")), 2);

Rotation:

diff = sub(effect("Face Track Points")("Left Pupil"), effect("Face Track Points")("Right Pupil"));

sD = Math.atan2(diff[0],diff[1]);

value+radiansToDegrees(sD)-90;

Made in After Effects. Absolutely zero keyframes it's all based off of expressions and audio data.

I animated the Firefox logo. It’s totally legal. I looked it up.

I have no idea why I made this or why I am posting it publically but I’ll let anyone use this video transition if you find an use for it.
