Business has been good since the start of Cook Multimedia. Good enough to keep me from getting my own website done! In the near future, CookMultimedia.com will showcase everything that we can do for you.

For now, if you have questions, would like to see samples or would like a quote, please send an email to jeff@jeff-cook.com.

Thanks for visiting and talk to you soon!

Announcing Cook Multimedia!

Jeff — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:30:10 +0000

After much thinking, discussion, sleepless nights and soul-searching, I proudly announce the launch of Cook Multimedia!

With the belief that a good designer need not limit oneself to just one creative outlet, Cook Multimedia has aligned itself with strategic partners to provide every kind of design service or product imaginable. So whether you need a logo, web presence, business cards and brochures, window or vehicle vinyl graphics, custom decorated apparel or anything else, Cook Multimedia is at your service.

In the coming weeks you’ll see this website undergo a transformation into something befitting a professional design studio. For now though, it channels the saying, “A cobbler’s kid has no shoes.”

I invite you to contact me for all your design needs. You can email me anytime at jeff@jeff-cook.com

3D Animation

Jeff — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:10:21 +0000

My good buddy Ben is working with Blender, and open source 3D animation program. I haven’t done any 3D since school – 8 years ago! I found my projects though, and here they are. These were all done in 3D Studio Max 2.5 on my old PC – P2 266Mhz 128MB Ram, 8MB video card. It was a pretty good system back in the day, but rendering the animations took an eternity.

First up was to design a room.
No animation, just a single frame. This one is neat for me because that’s actually my painting on the wall. My taste in decorating has vastly improved though! I think if I had to live in a room that looked like this I’d vomit. I know for sure my wife would!

Then came the animations.

Animating a cylinder:

Next up – a countdown from 10 to 1.

Hockey School – my young nephew (6 or 7 at the time) lived in Phoenix and was a huge hockey fan.

The Bowler – my dad retired from IDOT in 2000, and has bowled on Monday nights, well, forever. I did this video as a congatulations type thing.

Thinking back, I really struggled with 3D. It was never my strong suit in school and I was never as good at it as I wanted to be. However, this was a fun trip down memory lane. Thanks for making me think about it Ben!
