Books: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. (Yeah, I know. But I haven't read past that.)

Movies: Princess Mononoke, anything by Ghibli Studios, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, most Star Trek, Azumanga Daioh, Kasi Masi, His and Her Circumstances, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Strawberry Marshmellow, Haré+Guu, Now and Then Here and There, Full Metal Alchemist, FLCL.

Music: Jpop, Yoko Kanno, film scores (Hans Zimmer, Joe Hisaishi, Howard Shore, John Williams, Harry-Gregson Williams).

Hobbies: Special Effects, amateur film making, digital video, anime.

I've been wanting to make weird amateur movies for years, but have only recently acquired the means of doing it. Now I'm equipped with an adequate video camera, Adobe After Effects Pro, a lot of insanity, and a few friends as insane as I am. I like special effects, figuring out how to make special effects, figuring out how other people have made special effects, and seeing a good special effect that I think I could recreate. I'm also a Japanese anime fan of the most annoyingly fanatical kind, and I am trying to learn Japanese. I also like video games, digital video, and recording digital copies of obscure TV shows. Note: I generally consider my movies of low-to-average quality, but I thank everyone who has indicated otherwise through the success of "Shape Shifting Cat". Now I know how William Shatner feels; one (relatively) big success in a sea of failures, and I can't quite figure out what everybody liked about it so much. ...Sorry Bill, it was just descriptive.

A little battle using weapon effects reminiscent of Star Trek: The Original Series. It stars IamDamadar and I. That is a real type 1 phaser replica that I bought years ago! The effects were made entirely with Adobe After Effects Pro 7. The only non-original elements are the sound effects that...

This is just an effect test video for the 360 degree camera move effect that I've been meaning to try for a while and have never gotten around to before now. I'm always looking for easy ways to get camera movement in to my effects videos because a lot of effects are hard to employ when the...

A video that started as a follow up to "Imaginary Place". I just wanted to try running in place in front of green screen to see if I could make it work as well as walking in place did in "Imaginary Place". I started planning it, but I didn't want to just spit out another test video, so I started...
