MARINES & GALAXY CHOCOLATE
MARINES: All shots are live action Anamorphic filmed at Camp Pendleton. I was on scouts and set to collect HDRIs, Macbeths, Chrome balls and abundant reference of Marines vehicles to recreate assets in CG.
GALAXY CHOCOLATE: Three train cars erected in a studio in Romania. I was on-set to collect HDRI's, Macbeths, Chrome calls, and camera data and oversee that shots and green screens would work for the CG elements added later.
