PDI/DreamWorks Demo Reel

This is a sample of the work I did as Matte Painting Supervisor at PDI/DreamWorks.  The reel consists of three parts. The first part includes longer shots in which camera movement and effects are important. Many of these shots involve complex transitions that I had the opportunity to lead. Most of them are 100% matte painting except for the characters. The motion in the shots was created using a procedural morphing tool I developed. Many of the shots throughout the reel utilize the panoramic matte painting toolset I created, which is currently being used on all DreamWorks movies. For instance, the city around the zoo in Madagascar is a single panoramic painting mapped onto a simple rectangular shape. The cloud transition in Shrek2 was created using a procedural cloud system I created. The second part of the reel consist of quick shots that I consider to be significant. The third part is a sky montage included because skies are the bread and butter of the matte painting department. For HD version of demo reel please click:    HD Demo Reel
