Call of Duty Black Ops 4

The announcement trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 4 was my third booking at Digital Domain. I worked alongside five other compositors, including the lead, Evan Langley, to bring full CG shots to life. This included matte painting integration, particle work, live action elements such as rain and sparks, and in some cases re-crafting the lighting passes in Nuke to meet the client’s needs. You can view the full spot and see the shots I completed below.

Later in 2018, I returned to DD to work on the in-game cinematics, completing more drawn-out shots. It was great fun to get to know these characters and work with crafting their looks. Playing the game later was a bit surreal, seeing these same characters charge at or die beside me.
