The Equalizer

This shot was a sky replacement. The sky didn’t match up with the shot before it, so a new was created. The bridge, power-lines, and the tops of the buildings had to be keyed and the new sky integrated into the shot.

This was a paint shot. I had to use paint techniques to remove a guy that was running across from screen right to screen left. I also dust busted the entire shot.

Amazin'

Compositor

I composited the entire shot. Another department created the computer generated crowd. I integrated the crowd and stands with the foreground player. I also color corrected and defocused the background. The integration of the foreground plate involved a lot of hair keying and recreation.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Stereoscopic Compositor

This is a stereo shot. I painted and recreated the water and everything behind the bridge to make the offset for the right eye view. I also keyed the reflections in the river, so that they could be seen at a different depth than the surface of the water.
