Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts & Philip Seymour Hoffman film. Modeled & textured a Russian HIND MI-24 attack helicopter based on survey photos I took of a real HIND we had in storage. Matched distress textures based on the practical helicopter. The practical helicopter was initially to be used for all close shots until an on-set accident stopped practical filming. So the CG helicopter was used in all shots in the film since I had the foresight to create all textures at 4K. SmileTrain Commercial Passion Play (2010) : CG Supervisor Worked with Director/writer Mitch Glazer on this Mickey Rourke, Bill Murray & Megan Fox movie. Megan Ellison Executive Director. Modeled, textured & tracked a 3D wing prosthetic based on a practical puppet prosthetic created by Legacy Productions. In the end we used only the CG wings since the practical wing did not move as delicately as the director wanted. Tracked the wings onto Megan Fox’s back even though she had no tracking markers by using her poorly concealed tattoos and skin anomalies. Show less
