Game of Thrones

Lead Compositor 

Season 5

I was the Compositing Lead on a large package of VFX shots that Atomic Fiction created spanning the most recent season of Game of Thrones. 

This video shows a before and after progression on a small selection of my Season 5 work. I composited these particular shots and supervised the compositing on dozens of additional VFX shots.

This ‘Breakdown’ video shows:

-Original background photography of Daenerys Targaryen and a handful of Dothraki horsemen

-Matte Painting elements, projection mapped onto 3D geometry

-Animated clouds and atmosphere

-Interactive cast shadows from clouds and CGI horsemen

-Lens distortion, depth of field, chromatic aberration and other photographic effects added to CGI elements

-Thousands of CGI horsemen to match original photography
