Balarion "The Black Dread"
Balarion "The Black Dread" is a character from George R.R Martin's 'A song of Ice and Fire'."Balerion was The Largest of All The Targaryen Dragons. His Fire Was as Black as His Scales, His Wingspan so vast That Entire Towns Would Fall Under His Shadow When He passed overhead. His Teeth Were as Long as Swords."“His wingspan was so large that his shadow could engulf entire towns when he passed overhead. His teeth were as long as swords, and his jaws were large enough to swallow an aurochs whole, or even one of the hairy mammoths that are said to roam the cold wastes beyond the Port of Ibben.”

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: Wall asset, 2025
I procedurally generated the horizontal wall, I first created a voronoi rock generator, along a curve of match-move geometry.

This weapon replacement, built from on-set reference photography, required a combination of procedural rope generation and direct modelled details.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: Trident spear full replacement, 2025
The handle sling, albeit very stiff, was created from a curve to mesh. Unfortunately it was not within the budget to include this in a rig to simulate it's movement in the sequence.

When I textured and developed the shader for this asset, I included a toggle (Diffuse/Spec) between varying levels of blood. As each shot progresses his weapon becomes more blood so
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: Trident spear full replacement, 2025
I really enjoyed working on this asset over a few days, different materials and shapes to play with whilst within budget.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple: Layout and projection geometry for water park slides, 2025
I modelled the water slides to the match-move camera. It was painful, the volume took a few versions to stick as it might look right at the start of the sequen
Storm Chaster: Creature build, cloud layout and lighting/rendering, 2022
The creature in this shot represents the emotional turmoil the windsurfer experienced when filming this project. The tricky part of this project was to avoid a dragon look.
Nautilus: Layout of ship, 2023
This sequence challenged the scale of the ship. A very large ship which it's speed was to be kept consistent throughout.
The Book of Boba Fett: Lighting and layout, 2021
The archway and back wall of the building, set extended sand and the moisture machines.
The Book of Boba Fett: Lighting and rendering of background assets, 2021
Background Mos Espa buildings. No clouds on the desert planet of Tatooine so the diameter of the direct light was 0.65.
