It was an incredible privilege to work to work on the new Missy Elliot headline tour. Both as an artist and a fan - it was one of the most memorable and creative collaborations of my career - and I'm sure others here would agree.
Working on bringing her iconic looks to life with modern 3D rendering and being able to reinterpret the outfits and creative direction of those music videos with a contemporary look was a privilege.
We had the pleasure of working on all character work, from linked modelling, design, costume modelling, rigging, performance capture, makeup, hair, rendering and more. I couldn't be more proud of the team and seeing dailies made me always so excited that I couldn't wait to get back to work. Thank you so much for all your hard work, I feel humbled. I owe you all many beers.
I also wanted to say a big thank you to See You Later, Andrew, Arika, Elsa, Darius, and Aaron - you were a pleasure to work with and I loved your vision and optimism all through the project. Thank you so much for entrusting us with this work.
Sorry if i forgot anyone, it was a wonderful team.
