Josh Young 2022

Josh Young

Hi everyone! My name is Josh Young and I am a rising senior for Motion Design at Ringling college of art and design.

This is my latest demo reel, which highlights all of my latest work including some of the full length videos I have for my submission. 

Futureproof 2023

This is a concept for Ringling's Motion Design conference, Futureproof. I was lucky enough to be on a team with Steven Dvornik where we equally shared the work and audio was done by professor Kelly Warner. 

We both divided up all parts of the process. For animation and asset building we used Houdini to create a lot of complex procedural movements. I created most of the animated rocks in the beginning and end shots, while Steven created the still rocks. I also worked on all of the wood shots and animated the cloth in the last couple shots leading up to the lockup. Steven worked on all of the solo cloth shots and most of the solo rock shots. The wood and carbon fiber textures that were used I created almost entirely from scratch. We also divided equally lighting and texturing each scene.

The typeface was completely original and designed by me and half of the 2d graphics were designed and animated by me.

Psychedelic Bose Concept

This piece I created by myself using cinema 4d and Houdini to run art directed liquid and vellum sims. The colors were created almost entirely in post by comping in multiple light passes rendered from cinema.

Sci-fi Madsen Machine Gun

Completely modeled textured and animated this project with some vfx made in Houdini.

Flesh Walker

Biped rig with some added vfx and procedural modeling effects. Exported from Houdini into Cinema4d
