SAGE Holiday Video Card 2010 from Peter von Elling on Vimeo.

I love it when you accomplish (almost) everything you wanted in a project. There were many steps in the process from shooting the Washington, DC landmarks through to final render and editing. In addition to shooting the live action plates on a Canon 7D, I also shot panoramic HDRs of the locations to provide accurate lighting for the 3D models I created and composited into the shot. In addition to the HDRs, I used Luxology modo's physical sun settings to recreate the lighting on the day of the shoot. Everything was then rendered and composited in After Effects, where little touches like contact lighting, flares, and grain matching was added as well.

Book of Majors iPad App Introduction from Peter von Elling on Vimeo.

I was asked to do this animation on short notice for the unveiling of The College Board's new iPad application. The brief was to make it like an Apple iPad ad. I already had a 3D model of an iPad in the works, and I combined that with a model of the book to provide the hero shots. Originally, footage of the actual book was shot, but it looked better and we had more control with the 3d model. 

I used the screenshots the client provided and composited that on the iPad for the shots showing how the app works.
