Corning : A Day Made of Glass : 2

Over the last 4-5 months this has been my life.  I was on set the week after Hemingway wrapped and into the thick of filming Corning.  We were all over the Bay Area in Redwood Forests, Schools in Livermore, John Madden’s Goal Line studios in the East Bay and San Rafael.  

After this we spent the next 4-5 months at Westernized creating the post effects.

It was a lot of hard work, but fun as hell and I am so happy to finally be able to show it.

So enjoy…. a day made of glass 2

Knife Fight - Trailer

The trailer for the movie Knife Fight that we just wrapped at WESTERNIZED has just been released.  Staring Rob Lowe, Julie Bowen and Jamie Chung.

Cisco’s William Wallace piece that I worked on this at WESTERNIZED

Corning “A Day Made of Glass” VFX Breakdown

Made by the amazing WESTERNIZED PRODUCTIONS (http://www.westernizedproductions.com).

Was so excited to finally get this out to the world and so happy a breakdown has been made so the world can see how much work was put into the piece.  Every shot had VFX and these are just some of the most interesting.

Mine are the bedroom scenes

Have fun watching!

Today was my last day at WESTERNIZED
(If you dont count sunday…)

Truly love this place… had a blast working there….

golden people….

just gold… 

Thanks for an amazing time… if anyone wants some amazing artists… hire WESTERNIZED (http://www.WESTERNIZEDproductions.com)… If you want to work at an amazing place… apply….

This is a project we worked on at WESTERNIZED.  It was an amazing shoot, 6 days on set (I was VFX Sup for 2, assistant for the others) and it was my first real time on non school set.  It was one of those… this is my life… moments…
Being on set, Marcello and I were able to get a lot of the references and photos that we would want that we arent ever provided with.  We had 360 probes in each room, as many random stills as we could get away with and just an understanding of the size and measurements of things so when I was comping I had a better understanding of what I was doing.
This was a huge VFX shoot and production and I loved every minute of it.  I hope to one day move more into the on set VFX sup role in between comp roles so this was an amazing opportunity.
My comp shots are all the bedroom shots (at the start and end) and a few mall shots.  The bedroom shots all have roof replacements, window and bg replacements, mograph and day for night replacements.  Learnt so much on this shoot and really truly love my job…
I got to work with some amazing people on this job including
