For the entirety of 2010, munkowitz led a Black-Ops team of GFX All-Stars deep into the darkness at Digital Domain, crafting over 12 minutes of holographic content for the feature film TRON: Legacy. They worked under the legendary director Joseph Kosinski and VFX Supervisor Eric Barba, who always gave them a ton of freedom to experiment and impress the team with their unconventional approaches to the design challenges at hand.
For Munky, developing these visuals during the year inside the doors of Digital Domain was probably the most educational experience of his career. Coming from the world of motion design, the team spent that year DEEP into their Visual Effects pipeline, meaning every deliverable from the team had to adhere to DD’s strict process, and that integration and those learnings were invaluable to the growth of the team. Also, they had the honor to spend hours in the dailies theater watching Kosinski and Barba critique every shot in the film, and those film sessions and the exposure to their process and refinement of craft was time that could never be duplicated in any other professional setting.
