Fun videos
Orangeless ¶
A whimsical video about the bright orange California poppies in the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve near Lancaster, CA. Filmed Apr 2010.
TechnoGlass ¶
I’m “playing” one of my favorite Cynic Project songs on this sliding glass door. I used the Adobe After Effects editor; each “key” is an adjustment layer with time-varying keyframes that automatically repeat with a period determined by the song’s tempo.
Magic toilet seat ¶
My sister Steph had her 20th birthday around the time I was learning Adobe After Effects. My brother and I whipped this up for her. I don’t think you can buy toilet seats that do this any more. The effects use adjustment layers that translate by tracking the hearts on the seat.
Zeal 2 (Chase Scene) (Storyboard) ¶
A storyboard for a sequel to a chase scene with a silly premise.
Heat Transfer for Fun and Profit ¶

Fluid Mechanics for Fun and Profit ¶

Nothing Bot Net ¶
Promotional video for Stanford’s mechatronics class (ME 210), featuring a robot-basketball competition. Filmed Spring 2007.
CoronaFreeze ¶
If you chill a beer in the freezer for half an hour, striking it causes ice crystals to nucleate on the bubbles that form.
