Anaconda : Hunt for the Blood Orchid

Anaconda II was one of Sylvan's early films and an enjoyable experience, as is so often the case due to the great team. Sylvan was responsible for lighting the anacondas and developing the scales and shading.

As cheesy B movies go, this is right up there!

Fun fact, this whole film was lit using the very first beta version of the Mental Ray plugin for Maya, which Sylvan was able to 'adjust' to produce better results than the existing Renderman pipeline. An early win for raytracing in film (a subject Sylvan had studied for some years).
