The @wetafxofficial.bsky.social 2019 #Christmas party Spacewall project was an opportunity to develop something truly creative. From #concept to completion this 20000x2000 pixel #movie was created in #nuke using cards in #3D #space. It was then projected onto the inside of the stadium.

The WetaFX Christmas party, I think back 2019/20 after Avatar 2. I worked as a matte painter for them, however they tasked me to create a vast 22000x2000 pixel movie to project on the inside of the stadium. It was meant to feel like a window and the stadium was a Spacestation. #vfx #weta #christmas

In @nomadsculpt.com I use tubes of clay over a rough shape of the skull. In the background you can see the concept for reference. With similar practices to real clay you can define a shape very easily with a great deal of control. #sculpting #3D #art
