Project Review
Six Feet Under HBO
3D Illustration for Key Art
The Coffin-PART III

Client: HBO via The Cimarron Group.
Art Director(s): Chad Robertson, Calvin Sumler, Joseph Stamper.
Project Date: . Spring 2004

I worked on the advertising Key Art for the HBO series, Six Feet under, for the last two seasons before it went off the air.

It spanned even a job switch as I did some work at BLT and associates first, then when I moved to The Cimarron Group the project jumped over to us , so I continued work.  Today in PART III, I am covering the build out of a Coffin with the lowering apparatus that would be used at the grave site.

I built out the Coffin with all the various details added to make it look iconic and typical. Black with gold trim was used as they wanted the cover very dark for reflection use. [ See here ].

The 3D Virtual model was then re-purposed to be for sale online at Turbosquid, though the model was not ever posted, as my department was closed down before they shut down the whole thing.
