Demo Reel Breakdown

Please note: all CG elements in the shots listed below were created by a 3d artist. I was responsible for combining and colour correcting the various 3d layers (ie texture, ambient occlusion, diffusion, specular, shadow, reflection, z-depth) .

The Darkest Hour / 2011, Feature film. I composited and colour corrected the CG submarine and CG water. The matte painting of the sky was done by another artist. Software used: Nuke.

The Book of Eli / 2010, Feature film. I rotoscoped the foreground characters and placed them over a matte painting of a postapocalypse world. Colour corrected CGI boats. Software used: Shake.

For the second shot, I composited the CG rolling truck/debris/smoke. Other compositors keyed the foreground vehicle (which was shot on a green screen) and composited the CG tractor-trailer and tunnel. I supervised the final result. Software used: Nuke Knight and Day / 2010, Feature film. First I removed 3 barrels in the sand that were used to hold the explosives.

This is another shot where I had to remove the actress's real legs and replace them with CG legs and tail. I removed a finger from each hand and integrated the CG eyes over her face. Software used: Digital Fusion. Splice / 2010, Feature film. This shot required a lot of rebuilding due to the fact that the actresses real legs had to be removed and are much wider than the CG legs. Her real legs covered much of his lower body as well, so I had to reconstruct his lower body and arm before the CG legs were added. I also removed a finger from her hand, and integrated the CG eyes over her face. Software used: Digital Fusion. Splice / 2010, Feature film. I removed her legs which required me to rebuild much of the background and his lower body. Added CG legs, tail and eyes. Software used: Digital Fusion.

Tudors, Season 1 / 2007, TV Series.
