Let’s Get Medical – JTanimation – Director, all CG

Let’s Get Medical is a short film I created  in 1999 while working at SGI.  We rented a Panavision pin registered 35mm camera and light kit for a weekend and shot at two locations including a hospital and apartment scene.  With a small cast, and wordless plot, we filmed the tragic story of Dr. Scott a failing surgeon who is slowly going insane.  After shooting we scanned the film onto computer at Tippet Studios, then added 2D/3D VFX for the next 6 months before sending it out to the short film festival circuit where it played over 100 places, and won awards at Vancouver and Atlanta festivals.

Worked under Chris Landreth doing dynamic simulations and background animations.  At this time I was working as an Application Engineer for Alias|Wavefront in Toronto Canada for the West coast Film and Video market.  Maya was still in development, and the AW artists and developers worked on the beta software to make this Academy Award nominated short film.
