REEL BREAKDOWN
studioSlowTour.1000
This is a test environment that i did to show set decorating ability. I built everything from life. It is supposed to be an idealized version of my art studio. Would that the real thing was that nice! The messy table is a pretty good approximation of what the table in my art studio looked like at the time.
Because I am working from my home machine, without a render farm, I’ve kept the models fairly low res and I also kept the textures to a minimum for the same reason. I did the lighting as well as the camera animation. I kept the camera animation rather simple mainly so that it wouldn’t draw attention away from the set.

coach_01
The Concord Coach was a self-assigned modeling project. Of course, it was built to real world scale. I shrunk it down so that I could use it as a tabletop ornament for the set deco scene.

manbelisk_02
The Burningman and Obelisk I built as a proof of concept to help the Pavilion Designer see his design in 3D. Again, built to real-world scale and shrunk down.

I did lots of different types of work on Pirates including mast replacements and multiple creature render shots. In this shot I lit and rendered this guy.

For this shot I built the lifeboats and davits and most of the structures on the top deck.

For this sequence on MI 3 I did a bunch of stitching of HDR images into very large textures which were then projected onto geometry to create a virtual city. I also TD’d a number of shots.
