C4D Animation Experiments

So this summer I started learning a bit about Cinema 4D, and after doing many tutorials I experimented with some of my own random things. I decided to post them here so that I can track my progress if I keep learning it throughout the future! Keep in mind I didn't actually sculpt any of these models themselves, they were all free to download online.

An update on the life of Dori

Hi guys.
I've been a bit quiet lately! You might have gotten some blurbs into my life by following my tweets, but other than that I'd like to fill you in.

In late 2015 I moved to Paris for a new job. Moving abroad alone to a country whose language you don't speak isn't easy!

To read a bit about the experience, check out this interview from earlier this year on Format Magazine titled Why This Art Director Moved To Paris.

Paris was a lot of different things! The culture shock was way bigger than I expected. There were ups and downs, some things that I loved, many things that I hated. All in all, I had a lot of experiences that I'll hold dear to me. But you might have noticed I didn't do a lot of creative projects while I was there. There are many factors that contributed to that, and in the end I decided to follow my desire of wanting to return to Toronto to catch up on some personal projects while taking a break from a real job.

So that's what I did. I've been back in Canada since May, and getting settled into a whole new life all over again took a lot of energy, but I feel as though I'm finally catching up to where I want to be.

So here's to new beginnings (yet again!).

Blank Business Card - The simplest business card in the world?

Following my tradition of creating original business cards, this time I created the world's simplest business card, because it's completely blank! But don't worry, there is some information there. If you're bright enough, you'll figure it out. ;)

The business card reveals information when you look at it through a bright light.

It's made from 3 layers of cardstock, and the one in the middle contains a laser cut stencil that allows the light to pass through. Big thanks to Toronto Laser Services for helping me bring this idea to life just the way I imagined, and working through the problems along the way.

Living in Paris.

Here are some of my favourite photographs from my life in Paris.
