Visual Effects Artist, 09/03 - 10/04

Six in the Morning

Newly released: Six in the Morning, the sequel to Three in the Afternoon from Fanboys Productions and Travis Boles. I once again provided the lightsaber visual effects and credit sequence on this film. It's a big step up from the fist, and fans of Three should not be dissapointed.
