I had a short, but personally meaningful contribution to Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi. As someone who has watched the behind the scenes making of documentary "From Puppets to Pixels" countless times, it felt surreal to be able to have these iconic characters on my screen. I am lucky and proud to work with many of the folks at ILM who were featured in that Attack of the Clones piece.
The first shot I got to assigned was for shot corrective sculpting this Eopie and Obi-Wan riding through the desert. Shot correctives are when you go through a shot frame by frame or every few frames and sculpt on top to perfect the shape and look of creatures, characters and objects. In this case making sure the anatomy looked correct and deformed well etc.

Toward the end of the show I was given the task of doing some adjustment sculpting to the already built Vader helmet to get it to match a little closer to the practical suit since we were rendering close ups.
Finally I got the opportunity to do shot correctives for the final battle with Vader and Obi-Wan in the section where Obi-Wan hits Darth on the shoulder.
That's it. Brief, but it was "worth a lot to me."
