Anaconda : Hunt for the Blood Orchid

Sylvan lit the anacondas and developed their scales and shading. The whole film was lit using the very first beta of the Mental Ray plugin for Maya, which he adapted to produce better results than the existing RenderMan pipeline: an early win for raytracing in film, a subject he had studied for some years.

One of my early films, and a fun one, thanks as so often to a great team.
