With the help of Nick Campbell, I was able to create this small animation of my name using Trapcode Particular and something new that I learned called Motion Sketch within After Effects.

NEW VIDEO: Lumiére Brothers Style 46-Second Film Project
In 1895, the Lumiére Brothers patented the Cinematographe -- a moving picture camera, developer and projector, all in one device. The brothers filmed 46 second movies with the camera and projected the films for audiences around the world. This was a video recreating the style of films they made within the 46 second timespan and was also good old vintage film look test for me within After Effects.
Video filmed, created and directed by: Ryan Rakowski and Taylor Robida.
Casting by: Taylor Robida
Edited by: Ryan Rakowski.

New Video: Realistic Space Nebulas
Thanks to some valuable information gained from Peder Norrby, I was able to pump out some realistic space nebulas in Adobe After Effects using Trapcode Form and Starlight. Each nebulae is based off of their real life counterparts:

Never walk back from GRCC at night in the winter alone
I was walking back to the Pew campus from Grand Rapids Community College so I could ride the bus back to my apartment in Allendale. I surprised Renee by attending her away game at GRCC. I was in a sketchy street so I started running. Little did I know that the ground was frozen over with black ice and when I jumped onto a small platform I fell flat on my back bruising it and possibly sprang-ing my left arm(still hurts to bend really bad). To make matters worse I didn't have my cell phone on me so if I broke my neck I would had been majorly screwed. The sign that I made for Renee which had the words, "We ♥ #11", almost blew away from the rough winds and took a little rain damage. I walked back the rest of the way cold, hurt, hungry, and tired. Times like these make me wish I had a girlfriend so she could help take my troubles away. True story, I'm still in pain.
