New Website

I appologize for the lack of posts here, but I've been working on creating a website to replace this blog. The good news is...its done! Go check it out at www.tufuga.net.

Hope you continue to read and enjoy!

Business Card

I had a need to create some business cards for a recent trip I took with the BYU–Hawaii SIFE team. We went to Washington DC and Philly. Didn't end up giving many of these out, but it was fun to finally make a good business card!

Samoan Club 2009

Heres a fun project! I created this for the Samoan club to preceed our performance at the BYU Hawaii culture night. The videos purpose was to show that no matter where you are from, you can be a part of the Samoan club. We also hoped to inspire people to join the Samoan club. Finally, we just wanted to blow people's minds away and get the crowd going before we came on stage! It seemed that such was the case last night!


This was shot using a Sony Z1 Camera. I edited it using Final Cut Pro and used After Effects for special effects and compositing.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this, especially Aljay. Aljay did a great job choreographing the dances also, and he alone should take credit for a great performance. The crowd loved the entire show!

Quick Logo

I made this logo real quick for a friend who was entering a business contest. It wasn't real complex, but I had to do it quick. I probably spent just over an hour on it after revisions and stuff. The lines on the globe actually represent a Chinese character which stands for language and culture. The company's proposal was to assist companies in globalizing and then localizing their company to specific markets, primarily Asia.

Arbinger Web Layout Concept #1

This is a concept interface design for a web based training program I am getting involved in at school. This concept didn't fly so well with them, they want a more "organic" feel, but thats the purpose of these drafts is to help people figure out what they want.

I know its simple, but I felt it was still worth throwing up here since I haven't posted in a while.

The Arbinger program seeks to help people view one another in ways which promote strong relationships. You can learn more about their programs here. They are quite involved with BYU Hawaii because of my professor, Dr Chad Ford, so this is the reason they came to us for assistance in this program.

Signature animation

I created this to test out my new Wacom tablet that I got for Christmas, as well as play with After Effects again...its been a while! Its nothing amazing, but I thought I'd throw it up here anyway.
