project.overview

My first project as a Lead, Free Guy was an exciting and rewarding experience despite challenging circumstances.

I led the team at Digital Domain Montreal on several key sequences, including the Bank Heist, the Player’s Lounge, and various skills acquisition moments. The production was particularly demanding, as the COVID-19 pandemic hit midway through, requiring us to quickly adapt to remote workflows while maintaining high-quality output under uncertain conditions.

project.processBreakdown

For the Player’s Lounge sequence, I developed compositing templates to help with the team's work. We created all the glasses reflections entirely in Nuke, using KeenTools to track the actor’s head and accurately position the glasses. Reflections were integrated in comp using ray tracing, and the final graphics were added by Cantina during the last stages of post-production.
