Christopher George and Joost van Schaik

First glimpses of Christopher George's matte paintings for our horrifyingly beautiful rooftop sequence.

First pass patio modeling by Joost van Schaik and Todd Glover.   Both of these guys, like many of their peers have taken such ownership over their work in Lucy, always going above and beyond the call of duty.  For that I'm so grateful.  Without this inspiration and dedication the Lucy project would be nothing.

Lucy teaser was released at CTN Animation Expo this weekend!

Huge thanks to Jason Ryan, Brad Jacobson, Todd Glover, Greg White, Larry Vasquez, Victor Vinyals, Juan Solis, Immanuel Matias and everyone else who made this horrifying thing happen!

Character lighting from Greg White

Greg's a pro lighter at DreamWorks and has signed on to help us refine our lighting schemes.  I like the results so far!

Aaditi Dutt's blog

One of our matte painters, Aaditi Dutt, has posted on her blog a fascinating collection of photographs of a fire in her building (Aaditi is ok :)), some of which may be mined for use in texturing the bleak environments in Lucy.  Additi is a fantastic talent, but don't take my word for it.  See her work for yourself:

We're working to push this shot through our pipe so you'll be able to watch it come together in stages.

Not to bad lighting for a pair of character animators!!! :)
