A Visit to the King of Planets

Here's a sampling of VFX/Animation work I've done on "A Visit to the King of Planets", a quirky documentary short on the exploration of Jupiter and its moons.

There's some character work (a 3D caricature of Galileo, and an alien critter), lots of spacey stuff in general, and an epic recreation of the NASA Galileo atmospheric probe's last hours deep within Jupiter's atmosphere, as seen in the film's third act.
