Spring 2024

Inspired by both Arthur C. Clarke's "The Sentinel" and the ever famous monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey, "Michi / 未知" translates to "unknown" in Japanese, but when pronounced incorrectly, it also kind of sounds like "mystery". However, since "michi" is an adjective rather than a noun, this probably looks funny to native speakers.

Project:

A 3D animation with a cyberpunk sci–fi setting. The character heads to the Konbini. (Konbini is a Japanese convenience store). Originally, I was going for more of a noir style animation, but ended up decided to go the cyberpunk route instead.

A five minute visual novel style narrative game. A tale that follows #482 and friends through a tale of companionship, ​separation, and isolation in a world where togetherness is the most important aspect of life.

Project:
⊳ Created as a final project for Clarkson University's Video Game Narrative class

⊳ Developed in Unity / C# with Fungus

⊳ All models were created in Autodesk Maya

⊳ Some of the textures were created in Photoshop, the rest were downloaded from the Unity Asset Store

⊳ Other props were also downloaded from the Unity Asset Store

⊳ Can run on PC (Windows) or Android – has not been tested on MacOS or iOS

⊳ Brenda Romero commented "Wow!", when first shown it

Fall 2019

Developed in Unity / C#
Made for a final project in Elementary Numerical Methods at Clarkson University

Project:
⊳ Each moving sphere represents a shopper / person shopping on Black Friday

⊳ Each person has three emotional states: Normal / content [Blue], angry [Red], happy [Light Blue / Cyan]

⊳ The stationary white spheres represent items to be purchased

⊳ Each person starts in the "normal" emotional state at the entrance / checkout

⊳ When they bump into another person, they become "angry"

⊳ When they pick up an item they want, they become "happy"

⊳ Each person has a shopping list of five items

⊳ Each item has a limited quantity (25)

⊳ Each time a person picks up (touches) an item, they move to the next one on their list and that item decreases its quantity by one

⊳ If an item's quantity reaches zero, it disappears and can no longer be picked up

⊳ If a person finds an item is no longer available, they move on to another item

⊳ When a person grabs all five items on their list, they move to checkout


Representation:
The original outburst of "shoppers / persons"
⊳ This represents "shoppers / persons" at the door waiting for the store to open and then a sudden flood when the store does open

Sometimes the "person" stalls at an item
⊳ This represents someone being indecisive on whether or not to buy the item

⊳ If there are two or more "persons" stalled at an item, they may be in argument about who can take the item

Summer 2015

Developed in MATLAB


Project:
⊳ This was my first personal project (and anything with some scale) that involved coding of any sort

⊳ MATLAB was the first programming language I ever learned and this was my first "big" programming project

⊳ For me though, this project was so much fun at the time, and what really helped me decide to switch majors to software engineering (from aeronautical engineering)

⊳ After replaying it all these years later, I have noticed sooo many typos. Please ignore them

⊳ For the game itself, there are three (3) ways (paths) to win. The video shows one of the ways

⊳ The map is hand drawn / computer painted and is for visual reference

⊳ To view the code on my GitHub or try the game yourself (MATLAB necessary), visit here

Fall 2019

Project:
⊳ Promotional video created for the Clarkson Women's Hockey Team

⊳ Scripted, filmed, and edited by Schuyler Meyer

⊳ Starring Cassidy Vinkle

⊳ Music: For Tomorrow by Savfk

⊳ Filmed on location at Clarkson University and in Cheel Arena

Spring 2020

Growing up, I loved getting baseball cards. A year or so ago, I was looking for women's hockey cards and found next to none. There were some Team Canada cards and the random Hilary Knight card, but that was pretty much it. So, I decided to make some myself.

Project:
⊳ These are drafts / mockups / first renders / etc.

⊳ All information is copy/pasted from the NWHL roster pages

⊳ Photos are my own, for the portraits on the back – I "guessed" who took them

⊳ Logos are from Google Image Search, some are low quality because that's all I could find

⊳ The cards themselves can be used as templates for other players

⊳ Players on these cards were picked based on which photos I took that looked like "hockey card photos"

⊳ Cards made in Photoshop, 3D models and animation made in Maya, video made in Premiere

⊳ Note: These are not officially affiliated with the NWHL or anyone else. They are simply a personal project at the moment.

Fall 2018

A board game concept most similar to the classic Battleship.

⊳ Two teams (as many players per team)

⊳ If you are on the blue side, you can not see the enemy's game pieces on the red side, however, if a red team game piece crosses into the blue side, blue team will be able to see it

⊳ If you are on the blue side and you have a game piece on the red side, you can see your own game piece, but not the other team's game pieces (subject to change)

Movement

⊳ Can not cross thick black line in middle (wall)

⊳ Game pieces can occupy 1-4 little squares (up to 1 big square), depending on the size of the game piece (ship / vehicle / unit)

⊳ Water-based game pieces can not move on the land tiles and land-based game pieces can not move on the water tiles

⊳ Game pieces can move in any direction (forward, side, backward, diagonal)

⊳ Movement distance depends on the individual game piece's attributes

Summer 2016

⊳ A promotional video created for Clarkson University Gamers Initiative

⊳ Created in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

⊳ All footage from various video game trailers

⊳ Music: "Protectors of the Earth" by Two Steps from Hell, from the album "Invincible"
