A Creative Research & Design Boutique. Always tinkering with robotics, ML/AI and new tech to beautify and enhance the experiential entertainment arena. Simplicity is Complex Enough.
For 11 glorious years, I’ve been designing the Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention - annual global gathering for leaders and members of the Catholic fraternal organization.

Has been an absolute privilege working w/ everyone!

Hello National Portrait Gallery, DC! A collab w/ OnServices, we designed a temp projection install that featured portfolio projects from a company. This was only a snippet of a 4hr loop. The project took 3 months to complete, from content design, techviz, and on-site projection setup / design.

Think #motioncontrol but in the virtual world. This is one way to control the camera movement with #ai. By using #blender and #runwayai together, you can create dynamic scenes with camera movements. This can also be applied using real footage and #restyling the output.

#ML & #AI is getting really awesome. Here’s a spec concept script-to-editorial pushing the tech:

You’ve seen her in #Alien movies. Today, she bares her all. She’s a provider, a woman who’s been misunderstood, and a mom who just wants what’s best for her young.

Reusing assets and augment them for post is this week’s theme as we delve deeper into the role of #ML & #AI in pro-entertainment workflows.

Filmed at Radar Studios, this clip showcases a range of use cases - garment changes 1 asset in different spots, markerless MoCap, and creative stylized looks.

Still chasing that ratio of making #robotics easier to use, faster to implement and artist-friendly.

RadarLab, part of Radar Studios Santa Monica, delves into cutting-edge technologies to enhance workflows within the entertainment industry.

#adobe ai has done a pretty good job with their text-prompt-to-video ai and making it ready for commercial use. Although the strengths I see is more in their environment recreation rather than their characters. But awesome if you want to make your point across in #storyboards.

These jurassic fantasy #dragons unearthed themselves…cue dramatic music.

The joys of prototype concept to realty #3dprinting. Using these twins for an #animatronic pitch.

DevDays here at #radarstage (radarstage.com) at Santa Monica explores the future of entertainment design and filmmaking.

This week, we explored and showcased a remote way to animate #robots without being tied down to a desk using moonlight and #camerabotics

From #toycommercials to #virtualrollercoasters, these @kukaglobal.bsky.social are designed not just for #manufacturing but can be used to express highly detailed animation keyframes from programs like @autodeskresearch.bsky.social Maya.

#sundaymimosas was an older project showcasing that these industrial robotic machines can mimic the gentle subtleties of human movement. Please pour me another one 🦾🤖🤘

Miniatures & Robots: A quick BTS of how we shoot miniatures here at Radar Stage (radarstage.com) using virtual volumes powered by Unreal and a Kuka robotic arm controlled by Camerabotics (camerabotics.com) as a miniature technocrane. Gotta love these toys…sorry tools 🦾🤖🤘
