Earth is dying… This trailer for the VFX heavy sci-fi film was produced over a month, with myself as the sole effects and compositing artist. Additionally, we had a VFX Supervisor on set (along with myself), a matte painter (although I matte painted as well), and two 3D artists (including the aforementioned VFX-sup). A month of 18hr days and sleeping under the desk produced the results you see here. I was responsible for all comp work, all tracking, all design elements, titles, and a great deal of matte painting. Synopsis: The Gaea-02 mission can save the world’s population, but desperately needs the resources of another planet to do so. Returning from their deep-space shakedown flight, Gaea-02’s test crew is stranded in Earth orbit while a global conflict rages over the Gaea technology. When the dominating enemy forces declare them fugitives, the Gaea crew devises a daring plan to execute their original mission and sets off for untouched reaches of the galaxy. Doyle Gage, the only civilian crew member, is trapped onboard Gaea-02 while his young son waits back home. Battling to fulfill his promise to return, Doyle unwittingly rekindles Earth’s war in a far-flung solar system.
