Dumbo

Crowd integration, set extensions, tricky keying, and a whole lot of fire brought this project to life.

I worked on the introduction to Dreamland—the theme park where the film’s final act unfolds. We pulled off complex set extensions and tackled some very challenging keys due to the intricate details and the number of characters present in the scenes.

For the finale, we set Dreamland on fire, combining 2D elements with CG fire by the FX team to create a very dramatic sequence. I was trusted with the final shot of the sequence.

Tim Burton's world came to life through the magic of Framestore Montreal. The quality control on this project was cranked a notch, so most comps look seamless.
