This is the mid-term assignment for my AD406 Compositing class for the Spring 2008 semester of my senior year at the University of Illinois in Chicago. It was a group effort. Yu Li came up with an idea of an ant trying to avoid being crushed, and that planted a seed in my head that eventually led to the Chef movie.

Kevin O’Neill gives a spectacular performance as the crazed chef who is obsessed with his tomatoes.

Dave Mathews, along with Yu Li, developed the 3d model of the kitchen in which the chef exists.

I played the piano track to the scene and completed most of the compositing in After Effects CS3.

If you’d like to see an early sketch I made of how I wanted the scenes rendered, you can check out the demo for the project found here.
