Joseph R Vance

I'd like to meet:

My demo shows work that I have done mainly in
Houdini , Maya, Shake and After Effects. All work
Involved in the demo pieces was done by me from start
To finish; So, enjoy!

Click for Tortured Visions Trailer
This is an Indie peice that I have been working on for
Quite some time now. There still needs to be a lot done
To the piece and the best is yet to come. This is only a trailer.
Although I had a bit of help from some friends in the
Production end ( camera jockeys and lighting assistance)
For the most part this is a solo project for me.
The entire post production process is a solitary effort. Not that I dislike
Working with a team, but because I want this to be all me!

A link to a solo project of mine.

This links to a breakdown of a short film that I am working on using a variety of software packages. All of my actors were shot using the DVC-pro50 then intergrated with 3D elements from Houdini, Maya & 3DS Max using compositing and video editing software Shake, After Effects, and Photoshop. I also developed and hand made all of the costumes, as well as, compose the music and sound mixing. Truly a solo project. Click here.
