In late 2014 I had the good fortune of working on a short film conceived and directed by the madly talented Bradley 'GMUNK' Munkowitz. The primary work focused on Blade Runner-esque eye discs, with Bradley's touch of a golden shimmer, which were lovingly composited into 8 shots with 'replicants' of the main actor. I received the original plates and initial dev work completed by my VFX cohort Ben Hawkins, who then fled for some warm tropical downtime, while I worked one on one with Bradley to bring everything to comp completion over the next month. I then handed everything off to Glassworks London for final color. The project was part of  Samsung USA's “Connected” series  released July 2015.
