I'm Jake, I like to make cool stuff!

About me...

I study Entertainment Arts and Compositing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. I love telling stories through VFX, doing things I can't in the real world.

Jake's VFX Stuff

I love making things on the big screen that can't happen in the normal world. This is a collection of recent VFX stuff I've been working on:

The Wizard Incident

I created this scene in Embergen, Blender Cycles and Nuke.

Mini-Me and The Wizard

I created this in After Effects and Blender.

Monsters!

I created this in Adobe After Effects.

Jake's 3d Art

I also love making stuff in 3d. Here are some of the projects I'm proudest of!

A.D.O.R.O. R.O.H.D.I.E Robo-Roller

This is my most recent project, the A.D.O.R.O. R.O.H.D.I.E. (Remotely Operated Hazard and Dangerous Item Extractor) I had a blast working on this guy. I learned so much about the industry pipeline, and I'm super excited to use it to create more cool stuff in the future!
Initial concept by Joe Comeau.

Jake's Stylized(ish) Siege Tower

Alright, this is my siege tower, it's sort-of stylized, because I wanted to explore making it look realistic, in miniature scale. I again really enjoyed using painter during this project, I learned a lot about how to use the software, as well as stylistic choices.

Stories make the world go round.

Let's work together to make something cool!

I'd love to work with you! Please reach out to me however you'd like.
