ROLE:
Compositior
I had the exciting opportunity to contribute to Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” as a VFX compositor with Framestore. This project showcased the power of global collaboration in the modern VFX industry and allowed me to push the boundaries of digital creature work.
A Truly International Production
- Based in Vancouver, Canada
- Collaborated with a London-based team
- Worked on London time
- Utilized render farm and servers in Montreal
This unique setup allowed me to experience the best of Framestore’s worldwide resources while contributing to a major Hollywood blockbuster.
Specializing in Digital Creatures and Advanced Compositing
My primary focus on this project was working with digital creatures, bringing fantastical alien beings to life on screen. I employed advanced techniques including:
- Deep compositing: To achieve seamless integration of CG elements with live-action footage
- Various compositing tricks: Enhancing the interaction between characters, digital environments, and the real world
These techniques were crucial in creating believable and immersive scenes that blend the boundaries between the practical and the digital.
Returning to Framestore
It was a pleasure to work with Framestore again. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of visual effects continues to inspire and challenge me as an artist.
The experience of bringing the colorful and dynamic world of the Guardians to life was both creatively fulfilling and technically rewarding. I’m proud to have been part of the team that helped create the stunning visuals for this epic conclusion to James Gunn’s beloved trilogy.
