I was the on set VFX supervisor for this charming spot directed by Lawrence Guterman and starring Sean Hayes. Larry also thought I looked the part and cast me as "God". I had great fun.

About Me
ABOUT:
Mark Sawicki entered the visual effects field as an effects cameraman, animator and compositor in the late 70s. As a co supervisor for Area 51 on Tom Hanks special From the Earth to the Moon Sawicki was part of the combined use of models, motion control and CGI as a pivotal transition point between the traditional and digital eras. Mark went on to become visual effects supervisor and lead cameraman for Custom Film effects working on such films as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Returns. At the start of the 21st century Mark took a hiatus from VFX production to write books, create video programs for the Stan Winston School of Character Arts, Act and teach at a variety of film schools. He has now re-entered the field as a consultant and corporate trainer.
