NFL Network Gameday – Hydraulx – CG Supervisor
For this series of four distinct commercials I was hired to manage a team of new lighters learning the Hydraulx pipeline. These spots directed by GoodFear followed 5 filmed football stars as they drive past all the different famous NFL stadiums and cities that we built in 3D. Our team of 8 CG artists modeled, made shaders, animated, and lit the large scenes with Mental Ray and Maya. NFL Gameday Highlights
