A collection of work during my early days over at Blizzard Entertainment. The Starcraft 2 Cinematic - Building a better marine, was a turning point for the Cinematic Department as pushing the envelope lead us to re-invent our approach through many phases of production.

This was my third project over at the Blizzard Film Department as a Matte Painter & Concept Artist, but also the first project where I was able to expand my role towards VFX Art Direction by introducing techniques and workflows such as; Camera Tracking, Image Based Lighting, Digital Matte Painting, Camera Projection, Color Scripting and Lighting Painting Overs.

This lead to a 10 year tenure as a VFX Art Director over at Blizzard Entertainment where I oversaw all Starcraft 2 Cinematics, founded the matte paiting department, color grading pipeline and many other facets of the Cinematic & Creative Dev department processes and culture…
