The classic high-school genre, starring Brandon Routh (Superman) with horror alien/zombie visual effects directed by Joseph Kahn? Sign me up!!! It was a blast to work on: 215 shots involving camera matchmoving, object tracking, and body rotomation.
One of my favourite sci-fi series. I worked on Season 2 (episodes 8–10) and Season 3, episode 7.
The only downside of working on a season’s final episodes is catching a few hints about the finale.
I completed 46 matchmove shots, covering both camera and object tracking. The show’s anamorphic lenses made it a fun challenge throughout.
Most of my shots of Season 2 were on the Mural of Souls (the live wall thing) that you can see below:
This project was a little different from the work I usually do. The band’s 50th-anniversary live show featured visuals for every song, and I worked on the classic “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” a 13 minute piece (!!!).
My role was to transform the concept line art from the storyboard and animatic into illustrations using generative AI. It was an interesting process: the final images needed to remain faithful to the original concepts while matching the visual style the band wanted. The artwork also had to be delivered in layers so another team could animate it later.
In total, I generated more than 80 images over two months of work.
As a fan of the band, creating visuals (even Eddie) to the show was an incredible experience.
There's no official video online yet, but it's possible to see some of the work recorded by fans on Youtube from the live show:
