Stereo Conversion Reel - 2019

Of course, this reel is not in stereo but I think it's a great representation of the complexity and variety
of shots I had the pleasure of working on during my stereo conversion days!

Recommendations

Sausage Party: Foodtopia - Senior Lighting and Compositing Artist

Cole truly stood out as a Lighting Lead on Sausage Party: Foodtopia. He fostered a supportive atmosphere, always extending a helping hand to the team. Incredibly organized, his work consistently impresses with its quality and visual appeal. Cole's exceptional artistic skills, attention to detail, and technical proficiency consistently elevated the show's standard. Reliable, approachable, and always ready to lend a hand, Cole is undoubtedly a valuable asset to any team. I highly recommend him for any creative project.

Sebastian F. Hyde
Sausage Party: Foodtopia - Series Director

My name is David Dick and I gladly recommend Cole Armstrong for any Lighting/Comp team. I worked with Cole for the first time on the upcoming 3D series ‘Sausage Party: Foodtopia.’ I was Series Directing and Cole was our Lighting/comp Lead.

We did our reviews with the whole Lighting Team present and in a high pressure environment, Cole remained really adaptable, creative, and supportive of his crew. He consistently delivered beautiful shots to us, took notes exceedingly well, and gave clear and concise feedback. 

On this show in particular, expectations were very high. The Lighting/Comp team were tasked daily with seemingly impossible asks and challenging turn around times but Cole routinely was the first voice to come up with creative alternative solutions that worked, we loved, and that had significant positive impacts on our show. From a director’s standpoint, creatives  like this are worth their weight in gold. His technical knowledge, creative eye, and ability to adapt on the fly made him a voice I learned to pay close attention to in reviews.

I can’t recommend Cole enough and know he’ll do amazing on whatever team he joins. He’s on my short list and I look forward to when we can work together again.

If you need more specific feedback on Cole, please feel free to contact me.
