2009 Motion Graphics Reel from Andy Sapp on Vimeo.

My 2009 reel showcasing my motion graphics efforts. Short, sweet, and right to the point. Enjoy.

Some SICK stickers from 123KLAN showed up in my mailbox today. These things are going all over everything I own! Snag some before the supply dries up at their online store and support these guys!

Averaged Motion Tracking. from Andy Sapp on Vimeo.

A short clip I made while experimenting with averaging track points in After Effects to create solid, precise tracks. In the past when I have motion tracked… it always seems slightly off. I have now learned that if you track several times over, and average that data together – you get a rock-solid tracking point.

I then created some quick motion-type pieces to follow the these points. It took several layers of compositing to create the illusion of depth caused by things passing in front of one another. I added a light-streak to the back of Tyler\’s light to see if I could match the live video with an object in 3D space (the particle emitter for the light).

This video clip was shot using a Flip Mino HD, which was not the best to try and track with. The motion blur made it incredibly difficult to find solid track points. I\’m sure I will try more of this using my XL-H1.

This was a fun experiment that I learned a great deal from. I\’m excited at some new possibilities that will come of this new workflow.

A quick design I made for a short-run of eight-page flyers. These thank you cards will go out with every Slide Style™ order.
