Peacemaker (2022) - Episode 08 Compositing Work
Working on Peacemaker is probably the most fun I've ever had while compositing on a show. The Project was created at Weta FX (formally Weta Digital). On Episode 08, I had a chance to help lookdev in compositing the light interactions of the environment with the CG Alien cow, controlling how much the light teslas illuminates it, how moody and dark the cave would be with the cow, and how much we should be seeing of the alien. It was quite the fun project to be part of and probably one of the coolest creatures I've ever worked on.
