Scope of Work

Sequence lighting and compositing rig setup and final completion of all shots. Shot work on multiple sequences.

Tasks of note

Developed the sequence look for the characters and the environment according to Artistic Direction. The sequence was set in Paris and had a complex city and crowd layering setup.
Helped develop Tip's look where she finally finds her mother. The sequence also had a special lighting and compositing treatment because of extreme depth of field.

Challenges

Lighting the Boov-ships was an interesting challenge because of the complex light behavior of a bubble. It was also important to cheat the reflections so as to maintain clarity of the character acting inside the bubble.

The shot where Tip finally finds her mother in a crowd had a very shallow depth of field with only the mother in focus. A lot of this had to be accomplished through defocus cheats in Nuke. Since the crowd characters were moving around her , it made it challenging to have them walk in and out of focus believably and without creating 2D artifacts.

Fun Fact

A frame from one of my shots (see banner image) was picked for the cover art of Rihanna's "Towards the Sun" single.
