Thanks kingsley, David. It's had its ups and downs, but in the end a fun career.
Hey, Chris Gilman! I'd heard quite a few stories about you. I worked for Paul Pearson for a few years, and am now at HPR Custom.
Hope the Prop classes work out, that sounds cool!
As much as I love all of those movies, I just have to say, FANTASTIC job on Interstellar!So I finally got some pictures of things I've built, or helped build, for movies. Most of my work is miniatures and costumes. Most of the prop work I've done has been for commercials.
Interstellar
I was the lead model maker on Interstellar.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Unfortunately I only worked on this one for about a week. We did a lot of elements shoots.
For this shot I built a buck of Rocket's ship, that we ran at the camera on cables, and set off a charge on the front of the ship to get the fire ball. The fire ball was then comped into the cg shot.

Also worked on The Avengers, among others, But I don't have any pictures to show. Most of what we did was pyro bucks.

Thanks. Yeah it can be a fun job. Working on Interstellar is probably the most fun I've had at work. It was 9 months of building and shooting spaceships. Also, working with Paul Franklin was pretty cool.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. I'm glad you thought it looked so good. It was a lot of hard work by a lot of people. A great mix of cgi, miniatures, and full size vehicles.Swgeek, I know you are not posting for fame, but I have to say, the model work in Interstellar blew me away. Not once during that film did I ever feel that these were not real spaceships. Fantastic!
Cool. I miss working with those guys. Really good group of people.I did a project with the Stan Winston Academy awhile back and saw your Interstellar ship and Rocket Raccoon buck hanging about the studio. :thumbsup
Kind of looks like a modded P90How About Web series? Here's something I did for Corridor Digital:

Took me two weeks to design and build this from scratch PVC foamboard. Here's a link to more pics of the gun: http://www.therpf.com/f9/corridor-digitals-tether-type-52-railgun-149407/#post2284116
