In his four-year career at Digital Domain, Justin van der Lek has already contributed significantly to several blockbuster films. He most recently served as digital environments lead on Real Steel and as a digital artist on The A-Team. Previously, Justin was a digital environment artist on Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, helping to create a fully synthetic New York City environment for the climactic showdown between the hero and his nemesis. He held similar roles on G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, two projects that required live-action plates to be seamlessly integrated with extensive CG environments. Prior to Digital Domain, he provided visual effects work on films including Get Smart and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, television shows such as Bones and Pushing Daisies, and he also contributed to the wildly popular video game Killzone 2.
