We created this logo for Kevin Shahinian’s company Pacific Pictures. Based on his existing 2D graphic, we built the film reel, ocean, mountains, and sky in 3D and designed the camera movement. After much finessing, the objects were surfaced, lit, rendered, and given subtle shine glows. The final result has enough resolution for projection in cinemas. Thanks to Kevin for the fun project!

See the logo used in Kevin’s film City of Lakes! We also did the City of Lakes Title!

Dave was interviewed on KCSM’s television show Spotlight!, which pairs young filmmakers with an industry professional to discuss topics relevant to their films. In Episode 212, the first of this decade, Dave discusses problem solving on the set and when visual effects should be used. Special thanks to producer Katherine Russell, host Angie Coiro, guests Emily Grandcolas and Miles Zimmerman, and everybody at KCSM!
