Divergent (2014)
Director: Neil Burger
Company: The Third Floor, inc.
Role: Previsualization Artist
Time on project: January 2013 - April 2013
Supervisor: Pat Gehlen
"Josh really stepped up to bat on a difficult movie project, showing solid animation skills, attention to detail, and a great and willing attitude to help the team. He went above and beyond the call of duty, voluntarily writing out a google-doc manual for the incredibly intricate tech-vis we needed to provide to the VFX Supervisor as well. He was a strong team member and a very pleasant person to work with to boot."
- Pat Gehlen, Previs Supervisor at The Third Floor, inc.
Divergent had a pleasant team, and was a smooth production experience throughout. Feedback from the director and visual effects supervisor seemed to always be positive and supportive, and I am sure that our detailed techvis spared a lot of headaches for the filming crew (especially for the mirror room test shots). There were opportunities for me to help model and texture the Dauntless base environment, which I was thankful for. The film went on to meet expectations at the box office, and successfully set up the next films in the series of adaptations.
Notable Sequences:
Boarding the train to Dauntless (Tris climbing the El, seeing the train, running and boarding the train)
Entering Dauntless base (Initiates jump off train onto roof, Tris volunteers to jump/approaches jump spot/gets pulled off of net by Four)
Mirror room test (Tris sees all of her reflections, Tris walks nearby her reflection, Dog approaches Tris)
Four tightrope test (Wide dolly shot Tris POV of Four falling, Tris and Four make it off the tightrope)
Four father test (Four punches multiple fathers)
