Orbiting Salvation.

From Maya to Photoshop to After Effects.



Bringing an object created in Maya into Photoshop to texture and mess around with, opened
up a new door.

Full 3D capability in Photoshop, to this extenT I was not aware of. Fun Fun Fun.

Tutorial I followed to add textures in photoshop and export the Maya object into After Effects.

Project B : Creating a Religious Experience


Example of Installation imagery. 


Intro-duction : In this project my aim is to research areas of 3D projection-mapping, Projection on moving surfaces, Performance Art within an interactive animated world.

I will design and create a model in maya assembled in after effects, of a scene in the installation I wish to create.




Why do this?

My decision to focus all of my efforts on this line of work is because I believe this is the future. That being a way for the audience to either interact with the environment you create, and each other. Bridging the gap between all the art forms. I believe that this direction requires the maximum effort of the imagination. It is free, new, and limitless. 


My inspiration came from a theatre show I saw in Paris. DESH Akram Khan Company

Where for the first time in my life I saw an actor interacting with animations. Theatre took on an entirely new meaning. The energy in the theatre far surpassed anything I had experienced watching a movie. In fact it is incomparable.

I am confident that I can create fantasic imagery, environments, and animations. The challenge is how to present them in an original way. In fact I want to create a Religious Experience. 

Research & Development



I have created a small example of a room where some of my drawings and animations are projected on the walls.

I will certainly take this further after I design the set and figure out the best way for it to be presented.

I will finish the scene from project A and apply it to the application of a model installation for Project B.


Weekly Schedule





  1. Design set
  2. Complete scene in maya.
  3. Apply elements, via projection in maya.
  4. Composite model Scene in after-effects for presentation


    Final Model will be the same reference image as Project A

    Applied to a Model installation in After-effects.
