Hugo.
2011 · Visual effects artist · Pixomondo
I worked on the clock-tower sequence in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, creating smoke, steam and snow through effects and particle simulation. Some shots combined practical smoke with additional digital effects. The work took approximately four to five months.
Because the film was presented in stereoscopic 3D, our effects had to be rendered for both the left and right eye. Working from Shanghai, we delivered to the studio in Los Angeles and developed the shots through dailies and revisions from Martin Scorsese.
I was proud to contribute as part of the film’s Oscar-winning visual-effects team. Hugo won the 2012 Academy Award for Visual Effects ↗.
