STORY: Stephan Vladimir Bugaj & Grzegorz Jonkajtys
Earth is dying and humanity has sent a mission to colonize a newly confirmed habitable planet.
On board the ship there are thousands of embryos, plus a crew of top scientists and an artificial intelligence with a database of all human knowledge.
But to conserve resources and enable them to survive the long journey, the crew are transported as brains preserved in cryogenic vats.
Each brain is loaded into a synthetic body in shifts, allowing that crew member to spend an earth day performing their mission functions.
When Dr. Shelly Lee wakes up in the android body everything seems normal at first, but then she realizes things have gone terribly wrong -- somebody killed almost all of the other scientists' brains and tampered with the on-board computer. The mission has been sabotaged, the ship has stopped in an empty region of space -- and there is someone banging on the airlock asking to be let in!
Now Shelly must rise to the occasion to fight, and sacrifice her only chance to be human again, in order to preserve humanity's one last chance at survival.

Actor Billy Zane and rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer Quavo are starring in action thriller feature film “Takeover.”
Zane plays Gamal Akopyan, the leader of an international heist ring, who uses street takeovers to get away with mass robberies. When his latest heist goes awry, he must do whatever it takes to escape the Atlanta takeover scene alive – with nine figures worth of diamonds.
Street takeovers are a U.S. phenomenon where motorists arrive at a particular location in a coordinated manner similar to flash mobs, block streets with their vehicles and engage in stunts with their cars. Criminals often use this time to conduct robberies.

Harrowing drama about U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks will be first ever produced using Trioscope enhanced hybrid animation technology.
Netflix has ordered a four-part animated series, The Liberator, which tells the riveting true story of maverick U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks and his infantry unit as they fought for over five hundred days to liberate Europe. Based on the book The Liberator: One World War II Soldier’s 500-Day Odyssey by Alex Kershaw, the series was created by Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive). The combat drama will follow Sparks and the 157th Infantry Regiment from Oklahoma, a National Guard unit comprised primarily of cowboys, Native Americans and Mexican-Americans, from the invasion of Italy to the liberation of Dachau, the German concentration camp located just outside of Munich.
The series will be the first ever produced using the new, patent-pending Trioscope enhanced hybrid animation technology that combines state-of-the-art CGI with live-action performance, bringing a high level of emotion and fidelity to the animated drama experience. Grzegorz Jonkajtys (Sin City, Pan's Labyrinth, The Revenant) developed the Trioscope technology together with Atlanta-based animation studio School of Humans' L.C. Crowley. The series is being produced for Netflix by A+E Studios and Unique Features in partnership with School of Humans.
Jonkajtys is directing all four episodes. Stuart, series creator and writer, will executive produce through his Real Folk Productions. Bob Shaye, Michael Lynne (Lord of the Rings) and Sarah Victor are serving as executive producers for Unique Features. Crowley, Jonkajtys, Brandon Barr, and Mark Apen are serving as executive producers for The School of Humans. Barry Jossen is serving as executive producer for A+E Studios. Kershaw is serving as co-producer.
Snow King is the story of a man, who, as a young boy witnesses the horrors of war,
human cruelty and insufferable pain.
Deported to a distant land far from home, the boy develops a dangerous friendship with an eccentric local puppet-maker, a bond he must sacrifice to save his mother.
Ever since, he is cursed with an unlikely ability; to see the evil in all people. An ability that stays with him into his adult life. One that fuels both talent and malice, bringing him fame and fortune yet driving him ever further toward madness
inspired by the story of my father,

Teddy Floppy-Ear was created in 1957 by writer Mieczysław Janczarski, and a series of books about the bear was soon released. The now-legendary animated television series premiered in 1974, and several generations were brought up with it. The series became a hit abroad – in Japan, Finland, Slovenia, Holland, Slovakia and Hungary – and is still broadcast today. Educational games and toys based on its characters are made and sold worldwide. Now Teddy Floppy-Ear will make his debut on the silver screen, as a mix of CG animation and real miniature sets

In 2005 and 2006 I had an honor to work on Guillermo Del Toro' masterpiece Pan's Labyrinth as a Lead Animator and Generalist.
Here are some clips and still images from the film. I worked on stick bug, faeries and the pale man.
In 2015 I worked on Duncan Jones' Warcraft The Beginning.
I have been responsible for painting textures for Orcs: Durotan and Black Hand. (for the costumes paint I share the credit with Gareth Jensen and Leigh Barbier)
I have been on the project since the very beginning, painting a "test" Orc during the bidding phase.
On Peter Berg's Battleship I had a pleasure to paint the Alien "General" and many other elements including weapons, spaceships and interiors.
On Lucasfilm' Red Tails I was responsible for painting many CG planes, including the nazi squadron.
Photoshop sketches.
Gruesome fun!
As a lead artist on David S. Goyer's Blade III (at CafeFX) I was responsible for designing animated virus textures that were later on applied as a digital moving makeup on the actors. I also worked on the virus attacking the lungs and the heart of Drake himself.
Here are some R&D tests I did for the project.
