Project Lead | Nuke Lead Compositor | Compositing Supervisor | Hiero Artist

Written and directed by Duncan Guymer and produced by Spencer Friend, The Fields is a Sci-Fi Thriller about a subterranean population who believe in a divinely ordained balancing act, in which God infects the most intelligent people with a fungal disease. The underground community then outcasts these individuals to ‘The Fields’, where their disease takes effect and they seemingly become part of the forest. With his partner Grace also infected, James secretly accompanies her to ‘The Fields.’ Having gained entry, James somehow ascends to the real world. Once there, he soon learns the dark truth and his true purpose above ground is revealed. To lead a revolution.

I worked with the students from Campusi12 as well as The Mill’s own Nuke artists to provide some thrilling VFX for this great piece. We took care of every part of the VFX and the post-production process. From grading through to all the roto and comping, and of course the CG elements which include the dissolving man and the epic view from the roof at the end of the film. There are also a number of hidden effects, such as enhancements on gun fire and set extensions.
