Resident Evil Afterlife: Explosion: Provided light and shadow maps painted as a series of 2D alphas on an aerial plate. As the asset explosion grew in size comp was able to control the intensity of blue and use shadow maps to control dispersement of light. Building roofs and sides were cut out individually from the raw plate so they could be lit separately by comp. Created numerous individual 'cast shadow maps' to be tracked into camera move.
Taking Woodstock: Worked with matte painting supervisor on final matte shot of the film. Set extension for mud/garbage and placeholders for distant vehicles and tents. Stage was a 3D asset from layout department.
