		<title>After Effects Roto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Roto in After Effects can be though; while there are embedded roto tools, they are not always optimized for highly precise rotoscoping. There are some good solutions for the missing pieces of the puzzle though.

PVFeather from allows for per-vertex feathering (plugin)
Imagineer Shape allows for I.O. and per-vertex feather using their planar tracker Mocha (solves most issues). I am testing this now, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Sports Science&#8221; Emmy Award</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like Sports Science wins another Emmy this year, two years in a row. I was lucky to be included in the list of recipients, and although I am listed as a graphic artist, I did compositing work on 3 shots in the series. 
Congratulations to EntityFX for the great work once again.

		<description><![CDATA[This was a really fun project that I worked on in 2007 with Precision Productions. The commercial was produced in-house, &#38; my job was to clean up a number of little problems with the water tank suit, color-correct the sky shots &#38; fix up the foggy landscapes. In addition, we did some light VFX to add steam to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Fringe&#8221; pilot Wins VES Award</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I noticed a post for the VES awards and it looks like the pilot episode for &#8220;Fringe&#8221; won an award for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Broadcast Program. Cool!
I worked with 2D Lead Johnny Banta and VFX Producer Barbara Genicoff on this show, along with a number of others artists at Zoic. It was a cool [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Blood Done, Sign My Name&#8221; Screening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I went to a screening of &#8220;Blood Done&#8221; at the iOFilm facility here in Los Angeles. After a short intro by the director Jeb Stuart, we watched the screen version of the film: it looks great. The story is interesting, and our VFX were pretty transparent for the most part. Fun movie to work [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Fringe&#8221; pilot airs on Fox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Zoic Studios produced the VFX for the pilot of &#8220;Fringe&#8221; airing on Fox last week. I wathced the show, and I thought it was pretty cool. Its is a blend of X-files and the Twilight Zone in style, but updated with modern themes and issues. Really fun to work on, and the VFX were top notch for a TV program.

Push is by far the biggest in terms of number of shots, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finished Superhero (the movie)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one is finished! We did some really cool stuff on this feature at EntityFX, including tons of roto, greenscreen composites, and 3D CG fire generation. I was tasked with designing all the screen inserts; there were a ton of them.  In total, we completed over 100 shots in 3 weeks, and had already shipped about 45 shots for the [...]]]></description>
