Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Director: Anthony and Joe Russo
Company: The Third Floor, Inc.
Role: Postvis Artist
Time on project: July 2017 - September 2017
Postvis Supervisor: Pat Haskew
Avengers: Infinity War was a mammoth project with teams working in multiple locations, all under maximum secrecy and security. Shot quotas were ten per week, but the level of detail and polish was high due to it being a tentpole Marvel Studios film. Working on another Avengers movie had the benefit of being familiar territory, for me so my focus was on learning and incorporating as many new After Effects workflows and tools as quickly as I could. Having worked on postvis shows where I was mainly handling Maya animation and rendering, developing a base of After Effects knowledge took some time and had more growing pains than I would have preferred, but being on a team that focused on working hard, helping each other, and having lots of laughs, it set a new standard of performance in me that I have built upon since Seeing the crew screening at the Fox Theater in Westwood Village was its own reward as well, with Executive Producer Victoria Alonso giving her traditional speech beforehand.
Avengers: Infinity War went on to gross over $2 billion dollars worldwide, and was nominated for an Academy Award for 'Best Visual Effects.'
Sequences on which I worked:
Scarlet Witch and Vision fight Proxima Midnight and Black Dwarf in Edinburgh
Tony Stark talking to Dr. Strange's cape
Captain America versus Corvus Glaive on Wakanda
Thanos and Tony Stark talking on Titan

This one truly felt like being on a Super Bowl team. My name is in the bottom left of the credits.
April 25, 2018: Our Endgame crew screening was at The Fox Theater in Westwood Village. VFX Producer Victoria Alonso introduced the film with a grateful and enthusiastic speech that ended with her getting the crowd to chant the lyrics of Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" song.
One of my most prized swag possessions is this Infinity War film crew jacket that was sent after we completed work on the film.

The jacket came with a card acknowledging the team's hard work.
