Aston Martin CGI

Here is a new Aston Martin image that we're pretty pleased with. We shot the location (plates and hdri) in the Malibu hills and did the rendering and compositing in house. So far we've been getting great feedback on the new work. Thanks for supportive words.

behind the scenes 2

Here are some "behind the scenes" photos from the Hunter Seeker 2016 shoot. Still have plenty of cg work and painting to complete along with some immersive VR's we're compiling. There are a couple of the final retouched images on the studio website as a teaser. Again, special thanks to everyone involved!

Been traveling and very busy with the move (playing catch-up today) but wanted to add some behind the scenes shots from 2 projects that we shot in June. More images will be coming from both of these projects soon as they develop. Thanks again to everyone involved!
