Prep and Landing announced at last!

Yay! I can finally talk about what I’ve been working on since around last summer. “Prep and Landing” is a holiday special coming out this year on ABC. I’ve been able to work with a great team of folks. We’ve been able to revamp a lot of process, tools, and production management in order to make something approaching feature quality on a much reduced budget.

For me personally, it’s been a great opportunity to wear lots of different hats. In addition to the stuff I usually do like write software and shaders or work on shots, I was able to do some concept art (lighting key paintings) and also make a contribution to a matte painting. I’ve also been much more involved with directing the lighting and look of the final frames because the directors and art director have placed a lot of trust in me.

Can’t wait until the world gets to see it.

Here’s a teaser image that I helped to render out and then Andy Harkness our art director painted over. That’s Wayne on the left and Lanny on the right.

There are announcements in Variety and USA Today if you want to read more.
