Oz: The Great and Powerful Circus Comps
Disney's Oz: The Great and Powerful has finally come and gone and it was truly a transformative experience for me. I spent nearly two years working on it from its early beginnings with the ever professional and kind Sam Raimi through to its late days in post. It was a film where I had the opportunity to work at almost every level on a film that an illustrator/concept artist could and really see how the sausage is made--in the best possible sense of the phrase. :) I can't say enough about the crew of the film and in particular would like to thank director Sam Raimi, Producer Grant Curtis, Production Designer Robert Stromberg and Art Director Stefan Dechant for giving me a chance to prove myself as an artist and the patience to stretch my skill into new directions.
Without belaboring how cool it was to work on I just wanted to finally put up some work. With this post I'm sort of starting at the beginning, but the rest will probably not be in perfect order. Thanks!

Welcome to Emerald City
A lot of us spent tons of time in Emerald City. It was sort of an architectural wonderland for me as I got to cover ground that I hadn't before, really trying to get the place to look masculine and powerful as an icon while also feeling lived in. A lot of the dna and many elements of the model came from Dylan Cole's short stint on the project, while much of the city was modeled by The Third Floor's Brian Pace, Maria Serrano and Felix Jorge. I did lots of proportional tweaks, trim work and was responsible for the main buildings and arrangement of this version of the city. It then went over to the wizards at Sony to become what finally went on screen.
