Kirby’s Epic Explosion for Nintendo

Was on set for FX supervision and helped Darren assemble a really fun 3d team @ Superfad. My new favorite tool for on set supervision is the Hilti Laser Range Meter PD 40. This helped me gather precise corner-to-corner to film back measurements where its normally not possible. This laser measuring device, i believe, has a range of 650 ft. Lining up and recreating the backplates in 3d were a cinch.
The 3d team and I pulled a grueling 3+ weeks straight schedule until 1am to complete the spot on schedule.
Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Richard Hickey from the London Superfad office and Superfad’s new addition Nando Costa.
