Development piece done for a project with @artsypabster.bsky.social and @julioanta.bsky.social 🛹 Was channeling as much of our time in Cuba as I could into this. This was during international skate day and we got to explore some really beautiful spots 🇨🇺 #havana #cuba #visualdevelopment

A few master studies to practice to some new brushes.

Absolutely perf continuation of the first film. I can’t remember the last time something has made me laugh, choke up and hold my breath for nearly 2 hours. 10/🐈‍⬛

🍣🔪👀

RIP Bill Petras, he shaped some of the earliest memories of Blizzard for me. This painting lives forever rent free in my head 🫡

Folks looking for work, I cannot express enough. Learn. Blender. In my exp, more and more 2D/3D productions are utilizing it on both a pre-viz and production level. I’ve seen countless potential hires with wonderful designs/paintings get sidelined because of lack of 3D skills.

Something I’ve noticed with recent ai trends is that the folks participating in them have the mental commitment of a goldfish. Ai really has the worst longevity I’ve ever seen online 🥸

Really hope @flurdeh.bsky.social has some sort of involvement in the latest Love, Death, and Robot’s season. I’m seeing a whole lot of tilt shift in his style 🤔

A month into being back @warnerbrothers.bsky.social and the team is keeping me on my toes! Can’t wait for folks to seeing what we’ve been cooking up 🍣🔪💢

The final color script for #RememberUsShortFilm It was a collaboration between myself and the ever so lovely @nickbono.bsky.social ☀️ Even with a short, blocking out the big moments helps a ton with consistency and story. From here, we could pass these over to the BG painters/comp for reference.

Before @artsypabster.bsky.social and I figured out our BG pipeline, we decided early on that our design stage would be more graphic and let the CS’s direct lighting for final paint. We were very under the wire during design and this helped keeps things moving quickly 😅 #RememberUsShortFilm

A few BG’s that I had the privilege of painting during production on #RememberUsShortFilm Early on, I focused on how to translate @artsypabster.bsky.social’s style as well as elevate things cinematically as best I could. We coined the term “Leon loop” for those extra final touches. More to come!

Hey LA friends! We’re doing a screening and Q&A of the film this Saturday at 11am at the Lemiere noho 7. If you’re able to come, would love to see you! RSVP at the link below please 🙏 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
