Dreamworks "Me and My Shadow"

First poster look at forthcoming Dreamworks animated movie "Me and My Shadow" directed by Alessandro Carloni (How to Train your Dragon). The premise sounds cool and the idea of using 3d and 2d animation makes me really intrigued to see how this looks.

Although there are no clips of the sequences, it details what happens within them. Can't wait to see all of our hard work on the big screen!

Key Lime Pie

A great animation by Trevor Jimenez entitled "Key Lime Pie". I saw it a while ago but felt like sharing it, it's worth watching it again and again. I love it's film noir style. Death's design is awesome!

Spiderman VFX breakdown

Here's a VFX breakdown of the high school fight scene from "The Amazing Spiderman" that was being worked on at Sony Imageworks during when I was on "Hotel Transylvania".



Congratulations to all my friends who worked on it, the VFX and animation are amazing! If I didn't have the chance to see some shots pre-rendered, I would never have thought some of these scenes are fully CG. Amazing work!
