Vignette hired FG Squared in April of 2000 to produce a multi-module marketing CD. I was storyboard artist and lead motion graphics artist on the project. As such, I was responsible for the look & feel of all animation, animated elements, and text effects for the CD's five movies.

The SmartSwing movie afforded me the opportunity to develop 3D animation skills. I created all of the environments, camera animation, and lighting. The club was modeled by my good friend and 3D expert, Jason Gary.
The SmartSwing Driver (club modeled by Jason Gary)
SmartSwing intelligent circuitry rising out of the club. The circuitry was my first attempt at 3D modeling.
This scene illustrates the SmartSwing club's audible feedback feature.
SmartSwing circuitry receiving swing data. I used 3D particle systems to create the flying data.
This scene depicts the SmartSwing club wirelessly transferring data to a laptop. I used an animated texture map to create the green pulsing data rings.
The software screens were animated using After Effects 3D.

The PowerForum animation was my final project at FG Squared. I was a lead designer on the project and worked closely with a talented group of five other people. You can view the credits here.
