The Tiger's Apprentice - Previs Environment Modeling
Back to back movies where I created the previs for the school exterior. This one was created based on reference photos of George Washington High School.
My final task of the film, destroy Grandma's house! Taking an existing model and absolutely wrecking it was probably more fun that it should have been, considering the seriousness the set signifies to the film.
Waiji's designs were a lot of fun to play with in previs. This set changed multiple times over the course of the film, but the final thing was pretty sweet.
This was one area of the world I wish we had gotten to see more of. Earlier concepts even had an exterior to this hidden temple!

Mid: Hu's bedroom was a simple previs, but I was given freedom to design it as well!
Bottom: The very first scene I ever modeled for the film!
Tiger's Apprentice was my first feature film, and my first foray into the world of previs. The emphasis in this role was on translating the broad strokes of the design/sketch into CG, while keeping the future accuracy of future shots and sequences in mind. I learned a lot from a very talented crew! I hope you all enjoy some of my early stabs at the world of Tiger and Tom!
