A Virtual Gondola Ride - Paramount Expedition Vegas: Journey to the Peak

As part of its Super Bowl LVIII coverage, Paramount+ tapped CBS VFX to create visuals for a one-of-a-kind immersive location-based attraction, the 'Paramount Expedition Vegas: Journey to the Peak,”'a 4-minute gondola ride 'up' the Paramount Mountain narrated by Tony Romo and Jim Nance. Nestled within the gondola, enveloped by an immersive panorama, passengers experienced a cinematic experience featuring iconic characters and moments inspired by Paramount+’s most popular series and films.

On this project, I was one of the lead environment artists who created and imported the terrain model into Unreal Engine 5, created procedural rock and snow master materials, and set dressed the various environments. I also assisted with the various animated elements and rendering the final video using Sequencer and the Movie Render Queue.
