Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film \u003ci\u003eBram Stoker's Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), was a production designer for Disney's \u003ci\u003eAtlantis: The Lost Empire\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on \u003ci\u003eBlade II\u003c\/i\u003e (2002), \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and \u003ci\u003eHellboy II: The Golden Army\u003c\/i\u003e (2008).
