Glidden print ad

A print ad I did for The Mill's campaign for Glidden paints. It was done in Maya, Lightwave, and Photoshop at 8K resolution.

After Earth concepts

Various deisgns we did for the film After Earth, which included futuristic technology, weaponry, and FX sequences.

We designed a "wormhole" effect, with the idea that the ship itself remains still relative to the viewer, but space in front it gets compressed into a singular point, and then expanded back to full size behind the ship, propelling it forward. Entire galaxies get crunched into the size of a pinhead, pass through the ship, and then explode to their original size in its wake.

 

The weapon of choice in this future is something like a transforming swiss army knife;  an expandable, double-eged staff which can reconfigure itself for different functions.. including a blade, a taser prod, and a water purifier.
It is made of some kind of living fiber which can change size and shape on command.

For a probe design, we experimented with different types of exotic biotechnology, which could be economically grown on demand and infused with robotic implants.

 

These sketches explored the various nuts-and-bolts of the sensory equipment.

 And some otherworldly plant life.

Coke mirage concept and matte painting

A sign concept and desert matte painting for a Superbowl Coke ad done for The Mill.  The whole spot can be seen here.

Cloud Atlas Matte Painting

A matte painting of Neo Seoul I did for the movie Cloud Atlas at Method Studios. The movie envisions the Korean city hundreds of years in the future. This one was a blast to work on!

  

The geometry was provided for me by the modelling team,  and I painted on top for camera-perspective projection.

Intel Ultrabook print ad

Produced for Star Dust studios, this was the print component of a campaign for the Intel Ultrabook.

Flee From Danger

Cover I made for the comedy album Flee From Danger, with Dax Jordan.

Usain Bolt Gatorade commercial

I created several environment matte paintings for this Gatorade spot with The Mill LA,
including that of an Olympic-size stadium and a corridor of fake neon signs.

We took footage of Usain Bolt in Jamaica, and replaced the stadium in Nuke, with a CG crowd created in Massive.
