Job Title: Color Designer
COLOr designS by KEIKA yAMAGUCHI
I colored cleaned up line works created by Tracy Mark Lee and Frank Homiski. I worked closely with with Supervising Director Alex Kirwan. I referenced the mood from color script that Background Supervisor Saera Hwang created, and placed backgrounds created and completed by Drake Brodahl, Charlier Immer or Levon Jihanion. Executive Producer Pete Browngart, Production Designer Aaron Spurgeon, and Art Director Nick Cross, and Production Manager Ashley Malaski, Assistant Production Managers, Eric SooHoo and Emily Misner participated in the meeting to review my work, to make sure what I delivered are aligned with the story mood and works rest of the art materials used in the movie.
