PROJECTS
Tales From The Galaxy's Edge & What If...? An Immersive Story
DESCRIPTION
I wore several hats during my time at ILM Immersive. My initial tasks were to concept out and deliver final marketing assets for the launch of Star Wars: TFTGE on Playstation VR. For these assets, I used existing Unreal Engine art from the game to create new scenes with custom posing, custom cameras, dynamic lighting, uprezed models, new UE assets when needed, and any additional CG assets required to hit my target. I also created the new 2D and 3D Star Wars logo seen on the flat art and inside the game itself.
Because ILM is part of Disney, I was lucky enough to be tapped to help with a Marvel Studios project. I'm so grateful to have been part of the team that worked on the Emmy winning What If...? XR experience. My role was to do the initial previz for the iconic Marvel logo intro in VR which became me taking it all the way through production, including the opening scene of The Watcher. This required lots of tests to see what worked inside the headset, both visually and technically. The logo model itself took a bit of experimenting to best figure out how to apply several videos to different surfaces and have them all run without stuttering, which was a technique carried into the glass shards.
