Pretty Sweet Premiere

September and October, my work took on other jobs besides our usual client. To be honest, it was much more fun because the director was very creative and quirky. The project was a skate vid directed by Spike Jones and Ty Evans. As a nice reward for working hard, we got tickets to the premiere last night at the gorgeous, historic Orpheum Theater in downtown LA. The theater was packed, lots of skater dudes casually dressed, the atmosphere was energetic, Johnny Knoxville was there,met the actress from "40-year-old Virgin", had free pizza outside in "Pretty Sweet" boxes, and Snoop spinning at the after party. It was highly anticipated and our VFX added charm for each skater's intro.

ENJOY!

Secret Garden

So after watching all the FXphd Nuke classes, I wanted to finish up a few shots I got from the course. I decided to finish this garden shot since it required paint fixes, 3D tracking, and rotoscoping.

"Get a Mac" Time Traveler commercial

Just found the Mac commercial I did roto work on back in 2009 at Dtrain FX. Seven straight hours rotoscoping Mac's (Justin Long's) stray hairs to achieve the sleek, clean look as desired by my supervisor plus rotoscoping the PC guy in front of and entering the time machine capsule, which was a 3D model.
My work was mostly in the beginning, specifically, shots 1, 2, and 4.
