September 2020:
Remote 3D scan of Blue Moon Club in VungTau, Vietnam and 3D model creation
July-Aug 2020:
July 2020:
Use my Faro S150 3D Scanner and a drone to create a photo-realistic 3D model of a tree near my new apartment in Minnetonka. The tree just happens to be right next to the entrance where the Minnetonka Police cruisers actually dispatch from located in the rear of the Parks and Rec Center. I meet a lot of the police officers as they are coming and going as many of them stopped to ask what I was doing
June-July 2020:
At the very end of June, beginning of July I drive to Chicago last minute with my Faro S150 3D Scanner and a drone to to create a 3D model of Grant Park where Lollapalooza is normally held so that a friend can create a virtual DJ performance for an artist at Lollapalooza since the ‘real’ one is cancelled due to the Covid scam taking place. I stop at an Arby’s halfway between Minneapolis and Chicago and learn how to fly and operate a friend’s drone drone for the first time in my life.
June 2020:
While staying with a friend for the first couple months after moving back to Minneapolis I use my new Faro S150 3D Scanner to scan Como Park in St. Paul MN near his house. I later work with him to scan a large private residence located on Lake Minnetonka in Wayzata, MN for a potential private party being pitched by a friend.
April 2020:
I decide to move back to Minnesota the 3rd week of ‘2 weeks to flatten the world’ after living in Los Angeles since May 1st, 2014. I feel crazy for making this decision but am convinced it is the right one as I know ‘covid-19’ will not be ending anytime soon and Los Angeles has turned into a scene out of some strange movie overnight.
February 2020:
I use the new Faro S150 3D Scanner I purchased to scan the old Nestle building near my house in downtown Glendale, CA as I am beginning to learn more about how it works. I bought the scanner originally to learn and use for projection mapping projects in Los Angeles after first seeing one in Saudi Arabia during the 2019 Falcon project.
Second half of 2019:
I design, engineer, and oversee fabrication of a 50’ wide carbon fiber Falcon and then travel to Saudi Arabia for 20+ days in November where I successfully execute the project which was for a UNESCO World Heritage project attended by the King and Royal Family and broadcast to millions on TV.
First half of 2019:
I design, engineer, and fabricate Bad Bunny’s Coachella Mainstage set-piece and then travel to Coachella each weekend to oversee the setup, execution, and tear-down
January 2019:
I program a custom 3D pre-vis system which accepts an input capture signal in real-time and then uv maps the input content to the 3D geometry of Bad Bunny’s 360 Tour arena design. The system also automatically records the real-time visualization with an automated camera movement. The output content is being shared with Bad Bunny’s artist management team.
July - September 2018:
I 3D modeled, designed, UV mapped and programmed a custom media server system along with a Microsoft Kinect interactive demo which helped XiteLabs to land the gig. The show is the ‘kick-off’ event announcing the formation of XiteLabs which is a partnership between Vello Virkhaus / V Squared Labs and Greg Russell / Tandem Digital
Middle of 2018:
During some downtime I create V3 of my Microsoft Kinect Touch interactive Touchdesigner setup in which I implement an HTC Vive VR headset and make the interactive touch and movement 3D using an optical flow algorithm. Previously it was only 1D movement along the vertical axis when touched.
2018:
Design and program a custom VJ / Media Server system which is controlled with a GrandMA lighting console for my friend Mike Ohsann with NightLight Productions in Los Angles which I then install and implement at Lure Nightclub located in Hollywood, CA
2018:
I design, engineer, and fabricate a custom glass 2-way mirror system which can perfectly fill in removed LED panels. The 2-way mirror is used to be able to film through from the back side while a person is contained within the LED volume
2018:
I design and model a custom stage setup for a corporate client using Rhino 3D modeling software. The project did not end up happening and I signed an NDA so I cannot provide any more information.
2018:
I help to recreate a proper 3D model used for the D3 media server and also help with system programming aspects of the media server which was for the Quiddiya Groundbreaking in Saudi Arabia and was attended by the King and Royal Family
2017:
During some downtime I create V2 of my Microsoft Kinect Touch interactive Touchdesigner setup
2017:
I 3D modeled, pixelmapped, and programmed a custom media server and VJ system based on architectural drawings and diagrams. I then traveled to Las Vegas with Vello Virkhaus to help with and oversee installation of the new system at XS Nightclub located inside the Wynn Casino and Hotel
2017-2018:
I 3D modeled, UV mapped, pixel mapped, and programmed Vello Virkhaus’s custom VJ systems he used at Ultra Music Festival shows located around the world.
2016:
I travel to Vung Tau, Vietnam for a second time to install a custom upgrade FX system for Blue Moon Nightclub. The system I designed and programs combines the projection mapped DJ booth and the LED panels surrounding the club and located on the ceiling in three dimensional space and has a generative pattern system that allows users to create and save custom looks. In addition I work with a translator on-site for a few days to train the staff how to use the new system and operate it. I spend a month there
2016:
I help to program and setup the custom VJ and performance system consisting of 3 Microsoft Kinects and then fly to various tour dates across the US to setup and VJ the live performance visuals with Big Grams for their 2015 US tour.
2016:
I traveled to Miami last minute to help Rabbit In The Moon with their live show. I used Ableton Live, Touchdesigner, and Madrix among other tools to help program various aspects of their performance including the LED body suit Bunny wears during the performance as well as a custom Touchdesigner application which interfaced with Resolume.
2016-2017:
I partner with Greg Russel at Tandem Digital and design, engineer, fabricate, program and deploy a completely custom interactive electronic midi drum set which is pixel mapped in three dimensional space
2015:
I travel to Vung Tau, Vietnam for V Squared Labs with 5 large Pelican cases of computers and gear and oversee project management and installation of a newly designed LED and Lighting system for Blue Moon Nightclub. I spend 40 days there.
2015:
I help with gear logistics, planning, and then travel to ComicCon in Sand Diego, CA as well as Times Square in NYC to help setup and successfully execute two interactive brand activations for NBC ‘Heroes Reborn’ television show
2014-2015:
I help design, and then engineer, fabricate, wire and program Steve Aoki’s custom LED cube set piece for his 2015 ‘Neon Future Tour’. I then travel across the US to various locations on one of the tour buses to help with setup, show operation, and tear-down of multiple shows.
2014:
I oversee installation in addition to implementing and operation of a custom VJ and Lighting system at the opening of Project LA Nightclub located in Hollywood, CA
May 1st, 2014:
I arrive at V Squared Labs office in Panorama City, CA for the first time after driving across the country from Minnesota with a small trailer that contained all of my belongings. This would mark the real beginning of my career in terms of operating on a completely different and previously unknown level in terms of deadlines and high stakes projects with even higher dollar values attached to them.
I'm so sorry you have been going through this. I know you are not crazy, because I've had a very very very watered down version of your story with police stalking and harrassing me. They make you think you are going mad.. and it's all the little things they do that it's hard to prove to other people, but you 100 percent know are happening.. you have a fighting spirit , and I'm sending you good vibes from Australia that everything will work out in your favour 🙏🕊️❤️
