Matt Workman, who runs Cinematography Database, interviewed me and Pablo Plaisted for an article in two parts on The Lego Movie - Anamorphic Virtual Cinematography.
It covers my thoughts on setting up and running a lighting department as well.

"Dante's Redemption" fan trailer

Thought this essentially one-man effort was worth a post.......
Tal Peleg, a Senior Cinematics Animator at Naughty Dog in LA (makers of The Last of Us and the Uncharted game series) has created a fan trailer for a theoretical sequel to EA's Dante's Inferno game.
Tal "single handedly took on scene assembly, editing, animation, lighting, matte painting and compositing" - you can see the results below. 
Pretty impressive.
Tal has put together a behind-the-scenes exposition as well featuring key artwork, colour boards, matte painting procedures, animation and simulation and more.

Matt Workman runs a blog called Cinematography Database, and his most recent posting is an interview he did with Sharon Calahan, who earlier this year was the first Director of Photography working purely in CG to be inducted into the American Society of CInematographers.

In the interview reference is made to Ms Calahan's contribution to the 1996 SIGGRAPH session "Pixel Cinematography". The coursenotes are available online here and are as pertinent today as they were in 1996.

"Legend of the Guardians" Section now Published

Finally finished the article on The Cinematography of Legend of the Guardians and added a page of links to websites of relevance. The LOTG section should no longer be password protected.

The article takes a general approach to the cinematography of the film and doesn't get too much into the technical aspects.

This is to keep it readable and accessible to a general audience, but also because I am contractually bound not to reveal too much about technique.

    Prior to that I supervised the lighting on "The Lego Movie" and "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole". 
    I have also worked on many CG features as a Lighting Artist.
