ADOBE AERO TEST X

Adobe Aero Test TEN. Filmed the first day of Adobe MAX, and on the 1 year anniversary of Adobe Aero. "Under The Boardwalk" performed by The Black Ties, recorded live by me down the shore. There's a Black Ties reference in the footage, can you spot it? 

ADOBE AERO TEST IX

Ninth Adobe Aero Test, inspired by the perpetual movement of fountains. "The Way It Was Before" written by Chuck Berry, and performed by The Black Ties. 

ADOBE AERO TEST VIII

Adobe Aero Test VIII. "My Girl" performed by The Black Ties. This was inspired by the mass release of balloons, but I wanted to apply kinetic animation principles to make it feel like a floating zoetrope. Written by Smokey Robinson and Ronald White. #adobegirlinadobeworld

ADOBE AERO TEST VII

Seventh Adobe Aero Test. "Because (I Love You)" written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith. Performed by The Black Ties. Inspired by the illusion of shape, the colors of autumn, and kinetic art.

ADOBE AERO TEST VI

Sixth Adobe Aero Animation Test. "We Belong Together" written by Robert Carr, Johnny Mitchell, and Hy Weiss. Performed by The Black Ties, and recorded live by me.

This piece was inspired by Starlings, and eventually made it's way to being butterflies. This took weeks of trial and error, but I was determined to make it work successfully. 

ADOBE AERO TEST V

Fifth Adobe Aero Animation Test. "Stand By Me" written by Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller...Performed by The Black Ties. More animation tests coming soon. #adobegirlinadobeworld 

The fifth experiment will be featured in my 39th Episode of Motion Designing, my Behance Livestream series. 

ADOBE AERO TEST IV

This is my fourth animation test with Adobe Aero. The animation was inspired by kinetic sculptures and the ocean. In spite of how delicate it looks, this took a fair bit of problem solving to achieve. I especially like how the reflections capture the colors of the environment. Adobe Aero provides depth, and I wanted to be sure I could create motion, too. 

The fourth experiment will be featured in my 35th Episode of Motion Designing, my Behance Livestream series. 

ADOBE AERO TEST III

This is my third animation test with Adobe Aero. The animation was inspired by kinetic sculptures and the golden spiral. I especially enjoyed experimenting with reflective light at the water's edge. 

The third experiment will be featured in my 33rd Episode of Motion Designing, my Behance Livestream series. 

ADOBE AERO TEST II

This is my second animation test with Adobe Aero. I modeled pendulums (made for a project at Ringling College, but never used). I wanted to experiment and see if they would work in Adobe Aero. They did! 

The second experiment was featured in my 31st Episode of Motion Designing, my Behance Livestream series. 

ADOBE AERO TEST I

These are my first animation tests with Adobe Aero. I modeled, animated, and implemented amusement park rides to test interaction with augmented reality. The initial tests were a complete success.

The first experiment was featured in my 30th Episode of Motion Designing, my Behance Livestream series.
