Did a shot for Oliver Stone's new movie Snowden at work this week.  It is definitely reel material.  I just need to find out the protocol for using it in a reel since it is only rotoscope work.  Do I wait for the composited shot to be done or do I just show it on a solid background? I don't know yet.  But I am happy with it and everybody else was too.
Here is Mat the penguin.  The second part of my project.  it is not as successful as Joanna the panda I think it's safe to say.  The problem was I did not shoot nearly enough footage.  Having a back of the head shot would have improved things immensely.  Also I was unable to rotopaint out the beak because tracks only work when the tracking object stays in frame the entire time, as far as I know.  In conclusion this project taught me I have more learning to do.
