The Haunted Mansion

For The Haunted Mansion, I lit full-CG sequences with a focus on mood and visual consistency. I was in charge of 3D sequence assembly, lighting setup, and advanced rig development to achieve seamless integration with plates. I delivered optimized renders and layered slap comps for look development. I also created onboarding documentation and mentored junior artists joining the project.

Haunted Mansion is a 2023 American supernatural horror comedy film directed by Justin Simien from a screenplay by Katie Dippold. It stars LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Rideback, it is the second film adaptation of Walt Disney's eponymous theme park attraction, following The Haunted Mansion (2003). In the film, a single mother and her son (Dawson and Chase W. Dillon, respectively) enlist the aid of an astrophysicist turned tour guide (Stanfield), a struggling psychic (Haddish), a conman posing as a priest (Wilson) and a college historian (DeVito) to help exorcise the ghostly inhabitants of the titular building that they have recently moved into.
