"Midnight at the Museum"

Modelled and rendered in Blender. Something of an ongoing work in progress: in such compositions balancing light & dark and preserving details in shadow can be a long process.

"Flyby"

Rendered in two passes: one in Cycles for the spacecraft and exhaust, the other in eevee for the backplate, composed together in PhotoShop. Multiple passes were required due to eevee's poor handling of volumes in the exhaust. I'm certain there's a way to resolve the conflict by using just one render engine or joining the results in the Compositor, but for now I'm fairly satisfied with the outcome. The spacecraft, tiny here, will take a far more prominent place in future work.

"RKO Pictures Opening Logo, 1927"

(Sound on, headphones recommended)

Modelled, animated and rendered in Blender; composited and edited in Adobe After Effects.

As an avowed cinephile, I feel an intense thrill of anticipation when I see a movie studio's opening logo appear at the start of a film. This is my version of the RKO Pictures logo animation, used as the lead before films made from 1929 to 1960.

The logo's transmitter was originally inspired by the 200 foot Tesla Coil built at Pike's Peak in Colorado; the building beneath the tower (difficult to see, and removed in later versions) was the laboratory for Tesla's electrical experiments. Fairly dilapidated in the references I found, I used the more complete and wonderfully odd structure at Wardenclyffe Tower, built by Tesla at Shoreham, New York in 1905.

"United Pictures Opening Logo, 1927"

(Sound on, headphones recommended)

Modelled, animated and rendered in Blender; composited and edited in Adobe After Effects.

A recreation of the Universal Pictures opening logo animation as seen in the studio's movies from 1927 to 1936 (with occasional callbacks in modern movies). The aircraft - the first I've built in Blender - is a Lockheed Sirius 8C, built as a single model variant in 1927.

“Unknown Pleasures”

A render of the classic Joy Division album cover, using Blender’s Geometry Nodes. I plan to use this as a music visualizer in a future project.

Designed by Peter Saville, the cover image is a ridgeline plot of successive radio pulses from PSR B1919+21, the first radio pulsar discovered by Jocelyn Bell Burnell. The image was originally created for a doctoral dissertation by Harold Craft.

Credit to u/Deadlibor on Reddit for the original node setup.

“Meganeura Trapped in Amber"

Turntable animation of an ancient insect in Blender. Related to dragonflies, Meganeura was one of the largest flying insects ever, with a wingspan of about 65–75 cm (2.13–2.46 ft). As such, it’s very unlikely that one would be captured by tree sap, so this portrays the animal in its nymph form.

This is also an experiment in Pixelfed's HDR support. Apologies in advance for any tone mapping issues: I'm still learning color grading & management.
