Green Lantern

2012-01-14T22:55:00.000-08:00

Green lantern was a project I was lucky enough to work on for quite a while. First I was hired by Neville Page as a creature designer in the initial blue sky phase, then I worked with Nick Pugh helping out establishing VFX shoots for the movie. My sword construct was actually realized in the film, and my concept was later published on the art of book so I was pretty stoked about that.:) I also worked on it at the Aaron Sims company as a creature designer. Hope you guys like this stuff some of it is kinda bad from 09 while I was still in school but it is what it is. cheers:)

"One Stranger Too Many", was written and designed by Sebastian Meyer and Alfonso de la Torre . In a nut shell, its a Spaghetti Western with Sci-Fi hot sauce, loosely based on "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Be sure to stop by Sebastian's blog to check out his amazing version of the story. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy.

I was lucky enough to get hired by Nick Pugh as a sculptor for Aliens in the Attic. I was not one of the designers for the film, but Nick let me sculpt the life size Maquette of Assassin all by my self(the character bellow). I had a great time hanging out with Nick, and learned allot about sculpting subtleties, and many other things. The movie finally comes out tomorrow so if you have any family members that are 12 and under this would be a good movie for them . I'll try to get permission to show the pictures of the real maquette in the near future, but for now this will have to do. Thanks to Nick for giving me my firs official entertainment job. Enjoy!
