Finally, we finished working on “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. There is a new teaser just come out with a couple of shots I had been working on. Take a look at here. (ah, FOX just removed it, anyway, I guess you guys just have to wait for the cinema release then.)
I had a bit of time over the weekend to update the 10,000BC and Caspian pages with some new shots.

I am back at Weta Digital in New Zealand. Awesome! Nothing has really changed here since I left about 3 years ago. It is still one of the most friendly and caring company I have ever worked for. Really good to be back!
Before I got here, I spent a wonderful week in Hong Kong, if interested you can find some photos here.

I have just finished a 2 months long duty at the MPC on Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. I lit a few shots in the cistern sequence and a few bulgy bear shots as well. I will publish some images as soon as the DVD is out.

After almost 8 years I was featured in the 3D World Exhibition section again. I remember when I was going to the one and only “International Newsagent” in Hungary that time to buy my 3D worlds. (It was somewhere on the square Kalvin in Budapest) Soon after I subscribed to the magazine to get it in time, and not only in 3 months delay.
It was great to meet the editor of the magazine, since my good friend, Ben Vost on the 3D Festival in 2001. Loads happened since, so It is a great honour now to be in the 100th edition again, together with such an amazing artists as Paschal Blanchet or Meats Meier just to name a few.

So, It took me 1.5 years to have 10,000 visitors on the site. Not sure if it is a good result, or not, but I am kind of proud anyway. An another brilliant reason to have a few pint tomorrow in the Ship.
Some other news:
- I am back to the MPC again working on a very challenging movie called 10,000BC (ops, what a coincidence) as lighting sequence lead. Lighting fur again, awesome!
- I have been getting more and more emails from people all over the world, asking me how they should prepare reels, CVs, cover letters for job applications. So I decided to put together a sort of info page in this topic in the (hopefully) near future.
Until that happens, please check out my latest show reel.

yes, the file is big, and guess what, the reel is short.

Almost an other half year gone since the last update, but I have a couple of very exciting news now:
King Kong has been awarded with Best Visual Effects in Motion Picture Award by the Academy. It was a great honour to me to be able to work on such an amazing movie what has won an VFX Oscar. Being honest, this is something does not happen every year.
And an other good news is, my application was accepted to became a member of the Visual Effects Society. Finally, I have updated the page with some new stills from Kong, and three interviews I had been asked for in the last half year.

So many things have just happened recently, this is really a high time to have an update on the website:
First of all, I started working for Framestore-CFC at the beginning of January on the Superman Returns feature as Technical Director. Secondly, it seems the award season has just arrived. It was not really a big surprise that King Kong has won the BAFTA for outstanding visual effects in motion picture, and also won a few VES awards. Although the competition was stiff, the work Weta did on this show was clearly remarkable. But, I am really glad that finally Kingdom of Heaven has also got the well deserved recognition by the Visual Effects Society and were awarded for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Motion Picture.

After three months hard working and loads of fun I am back in the UK.
It has been a truly wonderful experience I had down under what I miss already a lot. I got to know so many wonderful and very talented people at Weta Digital, and I also had a chance to see a very powerful pipeline in working what helped to finish almost 3000 groundbreaking VFX shots on King Kong, helping this movie to be the same milestone in the cinema history as the original 1933 version.
Besides Weta Digital, there is a very nice country down under called New Zealand, and has probably the best unspoilt scenery you can find on Earth, but truly the most beautiful I have ever seen. I am sad, I cant share the amazing feeling standing next to a 2000 m high mountain in Milford Sound, or watching the peak of mountain Remarkables from the top of Queenstown as the Sun goes down. I have taken a few thousand photos, but watching these are still very far than experiencing the same in person, anyway, feel free to look around in the Photography section for some eye candy.
I have made a more general update as well in the resume and cinematography section.
