2002 - Winter Olympics: Salt Lake City 2002
Developer: Attention to Detail

Winter Olympics: Salt Lake City 2002 was one of my first professional projects after leaving university and one of the more technically interesting titles I have been fortunate to work on. I was placed in charge of creating the K120 & K90 ski jump environments and, although the visuals have aged, it remains something I am resolutely proud of. The reason for this was that the environments production was entirely unlike any other project I have worked on since. The ski jump environment was created from a mixture of architectural plans, satellite data and a very limited set of site reference (photos of a bare hillside in the mid-summer). Luckily, I had the opportunity to work closely with both the IOC and Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards which provided invaluable insight into the technicalities of the event and Olympic branding. This resulted in one of the most authentic levels in the game.
