Key and Peele - Season 2 & 3 2014

VFX Coordinator/Artist

As one of the sequence leads, it was often my resposibility to set the look of an effect for other artists to implement accross a number of shots. For instance, I developed the "possessed" look for the church episode and set the look for the ghostly Key in the graveyard episode. I was also the VFX coordinator for Season 3.
