Welcome to Stepford...

Psycho Catherine Ross in the 1975 Stepford Wives!

Happy Holidays!


Late last month I moved to a strange town called Stepford, where they have me compositing strange happenings to the wives who live there...

Director Frank Oz remaking the 1975 thriller "The Stepford Wives" starring
Nicole Kidman,
Bette Midler,
Matthew Broderick,
Christopher Walken,
Faith Hill,
Glenn Close,
Roger Bart, and Jon Lovitz

So this show will be lots of compositing in robot women and robot parts of women to the real women of Stepford...

Update from Troopers 2 Land...

a warrior bug breaches the perimeter!


Wow, has it been 5 months? well here at long last in an update...

I composited the shot above, click on it for a closer look, but whats going on is a bug breaks through the troopers defense, and well... lets just say one of the troopers feels a bit of pain...
