3D & VFX

Original environments, built and rendered for the screen.

I work on 3D and VFX from look development through final render, for filmmakers and advertisers. That includes rendering for photorealism, art direction, environment building, lighting, camera work, rigging, and animation.

I also teach this work, including virtual production with motion capture and camera tracking.

Archangel

VFX Supervisor on a science-fiction universe created, written, and directed by Hollywood screenwriter David Bourla, in his directorial debut. The project is still in progress. I created and led the entire CG pipeline, managing a team of 3D modelers and a lighting director. David films the live-action parts on a set he constructed.

Blender

Modeled original assets and worked from existing ones. Rigged and animated the spaceships, then baked and edited their materials for export to Unreal Engine.
