Masaru Sushi & Grill

This is a logo I came up with for my Dad’s 60th surprise birthday party. My mom and aunt had the idea to create a Japanese-style restaurant in our backyard for the guests of the party to eat at. They needed a logo for the fictitious place but knew they wanted to call it Masaru, which is my dad’s middle name. My mom and aunt printed them up and created chopstick wrappers, a big sign, and even name badges for the “servers” who happen to be my cousins and uncle. I created the text with stroked paths based off of several different “asian fonts” that I looked at online.

Seriously, don’t touch it.

Robot Army

I made one robot and then dropped him into a cloner object from Mograph to quickly set him up in a squad of 25 robots.

This was a quick test render I made with Particular 2.0 for After Effects. Maybe if I get some time I will add some sort of soft ambient music or noise under this video. This is also kinda reminiscent of the render of balls on wires that I did in Cinema 4D a little while back that ended up taking over 60 hours. This one only took about 2 minutes to render, but it doesn’t have ambient occlusion nor is it 2560 x 1600, but it does have color.
