This cut was a REAL challenge!

For Nocturne Episode 3, we wanted Edouard to have a brilliant felt coat with a pattern, but drawing that would be very complex. In his big turnaround shot, I put in a lot of care to make the pattern have shape and dimension. Lotsa steps went into that. Take a look!

Wanted to show off this breakdown from this TINKERHELL scene; it was real important to me that we establish this tiny thing as something truly unnerving when we get a closeup of her face so the post production REALLY went all out on this cut. Take a look!

One thing that often gets overlooked in the 2D #compositing workflow: Cameras!

Sometimes you're provided a rough draft from production / pre-pro, and it's your job to smooth it out & take it to the next level.

Sometimes, #animation cuts are just a still image of very detailed #art. When that happens, it only makes sense for me to go a little extra!

For one sequence in Castlevania Season 3, I was in charge of plussing a very... intimate moment, so here's some steps that went into that 😳🙈💖

Slower breakdown of that one TINKERHELL cut from my reel, so you can get a better look at the steps involved.

An example of how far you can take source assets and transform them into something wildly different!

Pretty proud of the blood ground FX 🥰

Breakdown of an old Castlevania Season 2 shot I did, showing what steps go into the compositing process to make a shot look "finished" in an animated production.

Thinkin' I'll be uploading more of these~
