300: Rise of an Empire (2014)
Director: Noam Murro
Company: The Third Floor, inc.
Role: Previsualization Artist (uncredited)
Time on project: Summer 2012
Supervisor: Patrick Smith
300: Rise of an Empire was a project with very unique challenges. Most of our shots took place over an ocean, which meant our boats were subject to the motion of the previs ocean model we had and could control. Animating period characters with gratuitous blood FX and splashes was pretty fun, and the crew bonded well during our time at the Warner Bros. lot. Although the whole team didn't end up getting the screen credits we expected, the film's final shots matched the previs, and it served as a nice companion sequel to Zach Snyder's original 300.
Sequences on which I worked:

Sequences on which I worked:
- Cliff ambush (Greeks run down hill toward boats, Greeks fight Persians in boats)
- Night act ocean battle (Persian on boat swings flaming cauldron to light oil, Persian swimmers dive, climb Greek ships, and detonate bombs)
- Final naval battle (Rowers, Themistokles organizing warriors, Line of triremes ramming Persian ships)
Final Shot Reel
Our team's last day on the WB lot, where we could hear the guides giving tours on their carts through our office windows every half hour.
