Guardians of the Galaxy

I was part of the core team on Guardians of the Galaxy, the first release of this incredible franchise.

I was involved mainly on a full CG sequence with a Pod chase in Knowhere, a remote planet in the middle of the Galaxy. We had to add lots of 2D elements to create the sense of depth. I did some of the Look Dev and set the mood with some early shots for that sequence. We also added lots of 2D explosions and developed a particle system to generate the heat distortion for the ships

I also worked on a really nice establishment shot of the prison, which combined a CG asteroid field and a DMP with different layers to animate the areas which were being lit by the searchlights. For a few weeks I also worked on a shot with Chris Pratt's six pack-no comp needed-, in which we set the look for the prison bots and developed the particle system for the thrusters heat haze.
