I was the Texture Supervisor for this 80's Transformers spin-off movie at Industrial Light and Magic. My responsibilities included developing the surfaces and creation of textures for Bumblebee, as well as a large number of other digital robots, vehicles and sets. In addition, I supervised all texture artists at ILM and across multiple facilities and helped to guide the look and quality of surfacing for these new designs in accordance with the Director's vision. I also worked on paintovers to help develop designs when needed.
Bumblebee was modeled by Kelvin Lau and Kris Costa. Anthony Rispoli was the Look Development Supervisor. Jason Smith was the Visual Effects Supervisor. Kudos to the whole team in all departments. It was an incredible team to be a part of.
