Role:
I had the opportunity to assist the skilled team at DevaStudios as a C4D/AE artist on this historic project. I provided a hand wherever I could help. From Modeling and Texturing assets such as background buildings, and studio lot details such as grip and lighting equipment. To using X-particles to create a smoke simulation for one of the building vents. The goal was to add as much detail as possible to provide realism to this full CG sequence. I learned a lot from the team and am grateful I could help move the project forward.
