Color Correction Season Two

Two of the episodes for season two of Star Wars The Clone Wars (about three sequences- 13 minutes total) were composited, color corrected, and rendered by myself while at Lucasfilm Animation Singapore. I was putting together a monthly presentation for the entire studio. After speaking to the lighting team, as well as the art director for the sequences, we decided that color work needed to be touched up by way of additional compositing work in Final Cut under the supervision of Digital Production Manager, Dawn Turner (July of 2008). The "darks" were not dark enough and the color was adjusted to give a better representation of what the lighting team wanted. This was handled by myself in about a week's time and was approved by the heads of all of the divisions. At the all company meeting, where Mr. George Lucas and Ms. Mich Chau speak to all divisions (over 1000 people- the entire company), my sequences were showcased. The sequence in particular involved the bounty hunter "Cad Bane", as seen on the reel.

Part of the convergence research that myself and my core convergence team was doing required me to have working knowledge of the entire Clone Wars rigging library: all bipeds (including General Grievous, Ahsoka, Anakin Skywalker, and Kit Fisto); all quadropeds; and all custom rigs. My core team of seven - Mr. Ruben Henares, Ms. Kathleen Ping Zhou, Mr. Nicolas Bergeron, Mr. Richard Thiang, Mr. Chris Chu, Mr. Dom Hamon, Mr. Seb Bouzac, and under the leadership of Mr. John Meegan and Mr. Matt Aldrich- (portfolio range was NBA Live, Assasin's Creed, Call of Duty, Fifa, and myself- I miss you guys) in Singapore did research and development, where I handled the convergence rigging, of these assets and after I made modifications on a few- got them to build in engine. The research and development done by my core team as shown to Mr. George Lucas when he visited the Singapore studio for the premiere of Star Wars The Clone Wars. Shortly after is when I was transferred to the Lucasfilm, Ltd. home office in San Francisco to continue convergence work initially on Indiana Jones and more Star Wars intellectual property. Name not in credits for billing reasons. Hours on this billed to Monthly Studio Meeting Preparation and not to Star Wars The Clone Wars.
