In August of 2017 I had the privilege of working with Production Designer Jon Hutman on Eli Roth’s adaptation of theHouse with a Clock in it’s Walls,
It was a nice change of pace from the work i had done before and harking back to the older Amblin Films I used to love as a kid.
It was a ton of fun doing these sets, designs and props for Jon. So I hope you enjoy the gallery as much as i did working on the!
I had the opportunity to help out the VFX team on some of the blob destruction on Xandar, the caves on Ego as well additional planets and props for the film.
I got the privilege of working with AD Jelmer Boskma and the talented guys of the Concept Team on the Lighting, Environment and Set design and sometimes even coming up with cool ideas for the different key moments of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
It was fun playing up the stylization of the movie, leading the eye to the important areas of the frame, understanding how elements shift from light into dark and figuring out the different sets and camera moves as it was all shot on green screen and not every element worked well together.
It was a great and fun challenge and I hope to do so again.
To understand and improve on my color, lighting and composition I like to do different film studies on a regular basis.
I do these whenever I have some free time or if I see something in a film that just inspires me to paint them right away.
Some of the films included are as follows:
Seven Swords (2005)- one of the most powerful introduction of the bad guys in film that I have seen. A very monochromatic palette with a bold Red Color for the bad guys.
The Banquet (2006) - One of my personal favourite films and a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet
Django Unchained (2012), Road to Perdition (2002), Lincoln (2012), The Mission (1986), True Grit (2010),
Immortals (2011),Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Anna Karenina (2012), Road to Perdition (2002), Skyfall (2012)
