LIGHTYEAR
I joined this show right at the end of my time at Pixar, after just wrapping up my work on Luca. The team let me have fun with my final project at Pixar, and let me do full visual development work on Lightyear! I was able to do some early look tests where I did the full model, shade, lighting, and rendering. I got the idea to create my project ‘Vertigo’ after that experience. Not much of my work made it into the final product, but I was excited to help influence the look of the Turnip spacecraft that was taken to final quality by other very talented artists.
