PORTFOLIO

Abstract

It all begins with an idea. If you have more abstract needs for your design to express your personal creativity in your business your needs can be met. Some ideas are very simple in form but when executed right can make fantastic ideas and backgrounds. One of the 3D tools that allows these simple but fun ideas is Cinema 4D which helps make animations like the one below that Nathaniel has made possible.

SIMULATIONS

Some times with this work you end up running into limitations of the programs these can be frustrating but there may be a solution. The animation below is intended to look like a liquid simulation but was made entirely of standard geometry. Knowledge of the programs limitations and knowing what it is capable of is important knowledge that Nathaniel has cultivated over the years he has worked in the industry

MARKETING AND BRANDING

Sometimes figuring out your brand is hard. Knowing how you want the world to see you or your company is important. Product Design and branding is hard work, and something that every business small or large needs to think about. Whether it be a logo or an entire commercial the skills are there and its evident this mock up gives you an idea of his capabilities. The project was an idea for a product that a fellow designer wanted to market for their brand as a giveaway product. The logo designed in Photoshop, the cups were all made in 3D space and rendered in Cinema 4D, and the video effects finished off in After Effects.

EVENTS AND REALISTIC INTERIORS

Another thing often needed outside of product design is the need to design a interior space for a client. Whether it be a small space like below or a much larger space such as a convention Nathaniel has the experience necessary for the job. Proper lighting and accurate representation down to the smallest detail. You will know exactly what the space you are trying to visualize will look like.

FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE

Working at Fremont Street Experience was educational and he had two jobs there one was operating the live broadcast software. The second was in his free time making some of the graphics that played on the largest screen in the world. Below are some of the examples of projects he worked on.

SIMPLE MOTION GRAPHICS

The basics are just as important as the intricate. Some needs are not so out there. Kinetic text, graphic design, and basic motion graphics are the building blocks of any creative project. Below are some examples of these basics that were made in under a day with satisfied clients.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE

In the entertainment industry experience in other areas is always a good idea. Nathaniel developed a slew of knowledge and experience not just in working in 3D space but developing a fundamental understanding of the industry he wanted to be a part of. Below are listed some of the more sought after skills developed from working back of house to being a show operator.
