I was responsible for heading up the pre-visualization of the key action sequences in the film and then was invited to join the director's layout team where we laid out the entire film shot-by-shot in the computer. If that wasn't enough, my poor impersonation of the lead actor of the film landed me doing temp ADR for our in-house edit and later was asked to record the final voice for "The Golden Man" (aka the Dragon when he's in human form). By far, the proudest work I've done on film thus far and the most work I've done on a film! Now I'm returning to work with Robert Zemeckis again on his next film, "A Christmas Carol" starring Jim Carrey." (updated 12/10/07)
