Senior Lighting Technical Director, 2D compositing, Shader Look Development
Sony Imageworks, Los Angeles CA, March 2003 to June 2006
Polar Express, Monster House, and Beowulf are the movies I worked on here as a Lighter and Look Development artist. At the beginning of these productions I work with a team creating standards for the style, look and feel of all 3D objects by creating and tuning materials and shaders. After this initial design phase the work changes to lighting and compositing shots that get approved by the director and appear in the finished film. On the Steven Spielberg produced Monster House I was a Sequence Lighting Lead who decides the initial light setup and look for other artists to take and final light shots.
