Here’s a little project that kept me busy for several months last year and it’s finally public domain knowledge that my employer worked on it. 🙂 Enjoy!

Hey everyone, earlier this year I started working at Rodeo FX.
Loving it there and just wanted to share with you this new trailer for one of the first projects I got to put my hands on here.
It’s for the magician heist movie “Now You See Me“. Enjoy! 😀
Hey guys, it’s been a while. Here’s some more commercials I did the character rigging for. Enjoy! 😉

Baygon: [a.k.a. RAID]
I was responsible for rigging the jellyfish (tentacle sim. included) in this commercial for T. Rowe Price, produced by Psyop:
Enjoy! 😀 (Best appreciated in HD.)
Oh and check out the art of this concept artist that worked on it.

Some more commercials I worked on
These were completed earlier this year but I forgot to post them here. Enjoy!
This one involved geometry tracking (PFTrack) for full head replacement. FaceRobot was used in production for the first time. The original plan was to use the automatic lipsyncing feature (introduced in Soft 2011) to save us time. It did work, but the client wanted 1:1 lip performance with what the actor did so in the end we didn’t use much of the automatic lipsync.
I rigged the popcorn/kernel guy and helped set up the rigidbody simulation of the M&M’s pouring at the end. — Also wrote a little Python script to do a fair randomization of all 6 colours. You’d run it after the sim was happy to make sure the colours were random but in equal amounts.
I did the ICE instances setup for the lights and the rig of the lumpy bottle at the end. — By the way, the environment is 100% CG. There was a ton of rotoscoping done to make it work. There’s something like 60 shots, almost all shot against blackness (because if it were green/blue-screen it would have shown up in the reflections.)
Hope you likey. 🙂
