Superman Returns: Opening Shot - Planet explosion (all CG shot)

Responsible for the Precomp of the exploding planet and asteroid trail to be used in the Master comp.
Integrated all 3D elements as well as build 2D elements to enhance both planet explosion and asteroids
Did colour correction done for the kryptonite base as per client reference and matched colour of the Precomp to the rest of the comp for seamless integration

Superman Returns: close up of missile falling into the ocean deep; missile flares open to reveal the growing Kryptonite)

Responsible for look development of the sequence and final composite
Integrated the many layers of CG elements to create a realistic underwater environment; built 2D elements to enhance 3D
Combined the various 3D passes (e.g. diffuse, specular, bubbles, spore etc) for the missile; also used stock footage of Richard “Doc” Baily’s spore to further enhance the “spore effect” – i.e. warped and tracked it to missile
Integrated stock footage as well to enhance effects (e.g. stock footage of lens flare)
Corrected any problematic 3D using various techniques, e.g. masking or warping

Responsible for look development for underwater and kryptonite and final composite
Integrated the many 3D elements to create a realistic underwater environment; built 2D elements to enhance 3D (e.g. lighting around the Kryptonite created using colour correction and 2D tracked masks)
Combined the many 3D passes for growing Kryptonite
Corrected any problematic 3D

Corrected any problematic 3D

Assisted on shot; was responsible for taking shot to final look (integral to look development)
Helped correct any problematic 3D
Added new 3D elements as they became available and added 2D elements built for previous shots to this shot to help to ensure consistency

Assisted on shot; was responsible for taking shot to final look (integral to look development)
Added new 3D elements as they became available to existing composite and added 2D elements built for previous shots to this shot to help to ensure consistency
Helped correct any problematic 3D

Assisted on shot; was responsible for taking shot to final look (integral to look development)
Experimented with existing passes to help create the best look possible; also, added new 3D elements as they became available and built 2D elements (e.g. extended the underwater canyon) to enhance the shot and help to ensure consistency.
Helped correct any problematic 3D

Responsible for matte extraction for Superman, integrating CG cape to Superman, fixing the track on the city and final colour

Responsible for final composite including:
Matte extraction for FG element; BG replacement; final colour corrects including highlight fixes
Paint fix for items on table (for retiming purposes) and wire removal
2D/3D integration – e.g. various layers of smoke (roto’d to use the best parts only), layers of missile and missile blast, sky, lens flare etc. Back fire done using stock footage final colour including highlight fixes

Responsible for final composite including:
Combining and integrating various 3D layers and elements (e.g. sky, water, missile)
2D track of smoke trail
2D track and animation of missile

Responsible for matte extraction, paint-fix (removing bottles on deck), and roto for all the rails on live footage

Responsible for final composite including:
Combining and integrating various elements, both live action and CG
matte extraction, BG replacement, and colour correction/balancing to match sequence

Responsible for final composite including:
2d/3d integration e.g. CG fish with live action FG footage; adding 3d rain to live set rain
proper layering of 3d renders for fish to get best results
BG replacement; matte extraction, colour correction, grain management

Responsible for final composite including:
2d/3d integration e.g. CG fish with live action FG footage; adding 3d rain to live set rain
BG replacement; matte extraction, colour correction, grain management
fixing any problematic 3d

Responsible for final composite including:
2d/3d integration of CG books, particle effects etc
All rotoscopy, for "Farmer" and other elements; colour corrects, grain management, consistency within sequence
manipulation of 3d renders to improve look; also, fixing any problematic 3d

Responsible for adding in CG butterfly and integrating with live plate including adding in 2D contact shadow and colour corrects

Responsible for adding in the CG elements for train, smoke, dust and integrating with live plate
Colour corrects for continuity; changed the daylight scene into a night scene via colour corrects
Added in 2D headlights to car, train
Created matte for tree line and added in a night time sky
