EARLY “blue sky” EXPLORATORY DESIGNS FOR THE THE FILM. VILLENUEVE ultimately ELECTED TO GO WITH creature DESIGNS (BY CARLOS HUANTE) THAT MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLED THE SOURCE MATERIAL.

The director really liked this one and I thought they were going with it until I saw the movie…hah…oh well.

early silhouette studies for alien shapes, throwing spaghetti at the wall stage

very early ship ideas when the initial direction was aiming towards a nearly spherical design. I like where the ship design ended up a lot more than these TBH

Splice (2008)

Designs for the lead character “Dren”. Created a progression of looks from infant to adult.

GuildWars2

Various characters I modeled for Guild Wars II at AreanNet.

5TH WAVE (2010)

I created a number of creature and pre-vis concepts for the film 5th wave. early on they had wanted more of a traditional flesh and blood creature look for the aliens before deciding to ultimately make them more glowy and ethereal.

Warm BOdies (2013)

Designed the look of the “bad” zombies or “bonies” for the film Warm Bodies.

for the look of these bad guy zombies, they wanted a calcified, blackened look like the preserved Bog People unearthed in England

Dragonheart (1996)

At Tippett studio (along with Ron Holthuysen and Danny Wagner) I created a number of design and scanning maquettes for the Oscar nominated film.

intitial design maquette approved by the director, polymer clay

Scanning and lighting maquette. We made it large so it could be taken on set and photographed for lighting reference. ILM dubbed it “Tippett’s curse” because it had so many spikes and raised relief areas which created a lot of surface area and required it to be a very heavy model for the time.

I’m in the photos by I got a lot of input and coaching from Phil Tippett and VFX supervisor Craig Hayes. Sometimes I worry that people thing I’m some kind of one man show. Not the case.

only detailed half of the body sculpture just to save time. It was going to be mirrored digitally anyway.

created the “Garthok” maquette and stop motion fabrication for the film

Cloverfield (2008)

At tippett studio i was creature effects art director on the project, overseeing the translation of Neville Page’s concept art to model to final comp. I didn’t design anything for the film but it was a fun film nonetheless. At one point during the project, which was very secretive, one of my unrelated maquettes was posted all over the web as the supposed creature design. Not the case.

Enchanted (2007)

For Tippett Studio I made a design maquette based on “Crash” McCreery’s concept art. Sadly, haven’t done another real-world maquette for a film since!

Starship Troopers

I had the good fortune to be part of the Starship Troopers fx crew, sculpting creature maquettes (designed by VFX supervisor craig hayes) along with Ron Holthuysen, bill roth and creature painters Paula Lucchesi and Grace Murphy. I was also one of the lead animators and animated around 25 shots.

One of my most challenging shots. Had to hand animate over 30 bugs

Jurassic Park (1993)

I was fortunate enough to be part of the Tippett Studio team on Jurassic park working on what became the pre-vis stop motion animatics. Here’s a detailed article about the Vfx: https://vfxblog.com/dinosaurinputdevice/

Phil Tippett Interview - Jurassic Park Dinosaur Supervisor

These have seen better days. They were never intended to be perfect and realistic. The puppets were made as tools to help figure out the shots

Pretending (with Adam Valdez) to work on these dino’s made by Stan Winston's studio for publicity stills. Initially they were to be made into puppets for animating but they decided to stick with just the Raptors and TRex
