Tonight is the premier of "Through the Wormhole, with Morgan Freeman", on the Science Channel. It is an 8 part series that focuses on the mysteries of the Universe and how we use science to investigate and attempt to answer them. For this series, my contributions were diverse, from live action Storyboards to Visual Effects.
A large part of the work I created were animated clips to help illustrate some of the scientific concepts. When I was originally brought in my first instinct was to go for an early 1960s modern animation style -- with a definite hand-drawn, traditionally character-animated look to it. These are scattered over a few different episodes of the series. Keep an eye out. Until then, you can see them all right here!
'Through the Wormhole' Storyboards

A new Science Channel miniseries is coming out soon called, "Through The Wormhole, with Morgan Freeman". Similar to the 1980 miniseries 'Cosmos', hosted by the inspirational astronomer Carl Sagan, each episode investigates the scientific mysteries of the Universe.
It is presented as a personal journey of Morgan Freeman's, which includes reenacted tales from his childhood. In the process of ironing out the style of the show as it was being assembled, the production company had me come in and draw storyboards for the first two reenactments so the editors and directors could experiment with the boards as footage before they went out to shoot.

Wanting to wait for all the episodes of the Fourth Season of Ghost Whisperer to end, I'm finally making an update featuring the Visual Effects I did for the show. This does not cover the practical, on-set special effects that I did, although some of those are seen here when they needed to be digitally manipulated.
All the work you find here was a part of the Ghost Whisperer webisode series, 'The Other Side IV', and can all be watched HERE.

This is a pilot for Animal Planet that focuses on the animal-like behavior of humans. Humans AS animals. Human Animal. GET IT? DO YOU?
The concept I approached for the title, was to do a sort of a play off of Leonardo Divinci's Vitruvian Man. Draw a human figure that then transforms into various animal parts.

As I've mentioned before, I've been working on the Ghost Whisperer webisode series, 'The Other Side'. Each friday a new episode goes up as well as a behind the scenes interview with some of the creative people working on the project.
Today, along with episode 6, is a little interview with me, and my capacity as Visual Effects Supervisor on set. Essentially I fill you in on the large preparation for a small scene dealing with flying shoes. I AM THE GHOST! Check out the interview HERE. Be sure to check back here at the ATOMIC ROCKET for future updates on the project, too!
