    remote

    Between the director, Daniel Farrands, and the post-production company, Tunnel Post, I had a great time working on this project. I was brought in relatively late compared to the other VFX artists, and they needed a hefty number of shots completed within a budget that was already near a breaking point. Within a couple of months, I cranked out over 70 VFX shots, and upon completion was asked if I could redo about a dozen more shots delivered by a different artist.
