Medusa - The Heist (2022)
The famous Medusa has been stolen from the British Museum of Art. Our special agent has the mission to hunt down the thief and bring the precious painting back to London. However, he does not yet know that time is not his only enemy...
I was tasked with creating a digital version of the Medusa bust that was capable of moving and different facial expressions. For that I used a free scan of the Bernini sculpt as a base. I retopologized, rigged and textured it on set.
This project was a huge project under the lead of Arcti&Bleu and it was a blast being part of such a huge and competent team.
Due to bad weather conditions we weren’t able to set off with the airplane that we had, so I was asked to create a complete digital shot of an DR-400 but sadly that shot didn’t make it into the cut.
