I was tasked with designing the light shape around Marmalade & how we’d treat his reveal as he stepped into the light. Definitely one of my favorite assignments & sequences πŸ˜†

This first key was tricky in that it was such a quick shot- we had to make sure the guys’ car stood out + frame it nicely while keeping the light direction consistent! #TheBadGuys

Dumpling restaurant design for #KFP4! 🐼πŸ₯Ÿ This was located in bustling Juniper City. The idea was to have it cluttered, clunky, & fun w/contraptions & conveyor belts. One of the most fun locations I got to design. Here is just a small portion of many explorations! #KungFuPanda4
