Avatar: The Way of Water - Environments and Digital Matte Painting
I had the privilege of working with the amazing team at Wētā FX under the supervision of Sergei Nevshupov, Ken McGaugh, Mark Gee and Wayne Stables. My leads for this show were Thomas Mouraille and Jean-Baptiste Verdier. To work under the legendary eye of James Cameron was a dream come true. I contributed to a number of shots with Environment Generalist work and Digimatte paint overs. Big shout out to some members of the team I collaborated on these shots with such as John Walters, Jayson Simpson, Nick Cattell, Marie Tricart and Toshi Maeda! This show was such a massive collaboration between all departments. I've tried to be specific on my contribution on the tagged images.
I worked with so many talented artists and would love to name them here so if you see some of your work be it lighting or comp etc please comment below and I will add you here!
