Back in the Visual Effects game...

Hello,

After a few years of working on myself improving my spiritual life I have been working on a few projects and slowly, but surely getting 'back in the visual effects game...'

 I have been working closely with a company in India who does amazing work and is very professional with a reasonable turn around. They helped me with some logos, a roto /comp HD project, and they will be working on a few short films.

My goal is to become a Feature Length Film Editor and Colorist. But knowing how to slap together a visual effects shot will help me be a strong Editor. I have two short films to edit to get into American Film Institute not too far from where I live in Los Angeles.

 I look forward to sharing with you some of the work India has done and exploring other relationships that are mutually beneficial.

 Best,
 Louis Katz

Happy New Year!

Hello VFX peeps. I'm currently at Zoic Studios in Los Angeles. I've worked on several projects in house since October. Falling Skies, No Ordinary Family, The Whole Truth, and V for the most part. I am finally quite comfortable in Nuke. I am currently booked until February 18. Zoic has some very talented Artists and excellent Production folks.

I hope everyone is well and let's make some commercial, episodic and movie magic in 2011!

Cheers,
Louis

Update

Starting Monday I start work on a Spielberg project. Nothing more I can say I think.

Cheers,
Louis

John Hurt

I ran into John Hurt at my favorite local restaurant / bar L'ASSOMOIR in the Old Port of Montreal. Got him a shot of Jamison, we talked, and I gave him my card. Then 3 chicks and the owner joined us... He's filming Immortals (aka Dawn of War and Gods of War).

Jake Gyllenhaal in local Montreal Coffee Shop

$6 Canadian Dollars for a latte and chocolatine, and I saw this guy:

He's done a few movies I like, and one I worked on...

Guess which ones?
