Cinefex magazine, the visual effects industry trade publication, recently did an article about the upcoming film Get Smart. My company, Digital Dimension, was the primary facility on the show and handled many shots throughout the film but primarily the end chase sequence featuring a computer generated Cessna flying over Los Angeles. At the end of the sequence the airplane lands in front of the Disney Hall in downtown LA.
While my name (or any of the artists) was not mentioned specifically in the article, I did have a frame from one of my shots printed. This is basically the equivalent of an artists having his work published in a magazine. Ok, it's not the equivalent...it's basically what it is. I like to consider what I do more an art than anything else. And I don't want to sound pretentious or "artsy" but I think it's a pretty big deal. We work so far behind the scenes and all we can hope for is our name flying by in the credits...and that doesn't always happen. So I'm happy and proud to have had this image published and honored to have worked on such a great team!
