Work on “The Amazing Spider-man 2” was always great fun! We had an outstanding team of visual effects artists working on it and I was part of a phenomenal matte painting department that was always ready for any new challenge.

Here are some examples of matte paintings, set extensions, and projections that I provided on this movie.

The original plate footage of the Brooklyn Bridge had major construction on the lower level which needed to be removed for this shot to work. In order to do this, I repainted the bridge from source photography and projected it onto a 3D model of the bridge to seamlessly fit into the vfx shot. It was later animated with CG cards of the cars to drive across and re-lit for other scenes.
