ICE TV feature

Another Sauce project I worked on in 2009-2010 as a pre-visualisation artist has just aired in the UK. The trailer doesn't show many of the great 3D shots that we worked on but you can watch the trailer HERE.  I hope to upload some of the sweet 3D shots in the next few weeks.

A blast from the past!
