Nick's First Steps: 2002-2005
Everyone has their early work. Not enough people show it off. I'm hoping this will be a reminder to me to look back and see how far I have come and also how far our tools have come to help us make more beautful work.

Hod's Home Theater Ad - 2002
This was my first paid animation. I worked at Hod's Home Theater as a salesman but was obsessed with After Effects. My boss asked if I wanted to make an ad for the local movie theater for $300? I said you bet and this was the result.
Like a lot of early work, it's pretty embarasing to watch. But, this is the one that started it all and got me learning 3D AE comps, green screen techniques, and sound design.
The animation that started it all.
