Flyover sequence of the village with the Ghost of Past |
Flyover sequence of London with the Ghost of Present |
A CHRISTMAS CAROL - at Image Movers Digital This is a special project to me because I started as a Production Assistant in the Art Department. Through out this project I continued working as a PA but was given opportunities to do more. I ended up doing coordinator duties for a new Matte Department headed by Chris Stoski and Brian Flora. While still doing my production duties Chris and Brian gave me chances to contribute artistically. So I was able to do Matte Painting, as well as modeling and also help create layout and camera setups for the Digimatte pipeline. |
Matte Painting flyover shot of London in the beginning of film |
In this flyover I helped layout the sequence for the Matte Pipeline as well as transfer assets and cameras from the Production pipeline to the Matte Pipeline. I modeled the St. Paul's Cathedral that the shot camera flies around as well as other parts of the buildings shown in this shot. |
I modeled additions to this school building like the frieze above the doorway and the windows, and to the walls surrounding it. These models were used in the Matte Pipeline to create the matte painting for this building |
Final shot of the movie |
Here I worked with the primary matte painter to create elements in the windows to make them festive and warm. I also helped paint the garlands on and around the windows. |
This was one of the big flyover shots that showcased London. It was a very complex and long shot that lasted well over a few minutes without any cuts. It, as well as all the other flyover shots, was also created entirely within the Matte Department Pipeline. My contribution for this was to help layout the set as well as model and texture several assets for the Matte pipeline. Specifically I modeled and textured the storefront signs (the signs are named after the artists in the Art Department ex. Doug's Toys), the buildings on the banks of the Thames river, the London bridge and the St. Paul Cathedral. |
