FINDING DORY
Finding Dory was my first project to work on at Pixar to publicly release, as well as my first feature film project. I came onto the show a little later into production, when they needed some extra hands on deck to take the film to the finish line. My primary contribution was the ‘Squid Chase’ environment, working alongside shading TD, Annee Jonjai. If you look closely, you can spot the Pizza Planet Truck, which I was stoked to have the opportunity to shade! After the squid chase environment I went on to handle a lot of the background environment shading for the final act of the film. I also picked up a bunch of misc. asset shading tasks, like the Sippy Cup and Stroller.
