Scott won the 2005 Academy Award® for Achievement in Visual Effects for his work on Spider-Man™ 2, and was nominated for Spider-Man™ (Achievement in Visual Effects, 2002) while collaborating with visual effects designer John Dykstra and director Sam Raimi.
For the first Spider-Man™, Stokdyk's team created the digital characters of Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, as well as an innovative, synthetic Manhattan, which allowed the filmmakers the ability to move Spider-Man through a virtual cityscape with complete freedom. For Spider-Man™ 2, huge advancements were made in the digital environment and a unique process was built to recreate the actors in CG.
Stokdyk joined Imageworks in 1997 working as a digital artist on Contact and Starship Troopers. He was CG supervisor on both Godzilla and Stuart Little. Stokdyk received his first Oscar® nomination in 2000 as Digital Effects Supervisor for the creation of the incredible disappearing man and gorilla in Hollow Man.
Prior to Imageworks, Stokdyk worked as a digital artist on Titanic and Terminator 2/3D, and as a sequence supervisor on The Fifth Element.
