Film and HETV Visual Effects Supervisor, having started out in the 90s, as a 2D and 3D digital artist, animator, modeller and designer generalist.
Passionate, collaborative, creative, and a story driven artist who will not stop until the curtain is raised.
FIX IT IN PREP
Extensive experience in breaking down scripts, bidding, collaborating with production and vendors while wrapped in the story.
Directed Tech-viz and Pre-Vis and animatics as well as producing sequences and shots to service the planning of the shoot and optimise departmental integration.
Led conceptual and visual development teams to establish design and looks to tell the tale and directed test shoots on film to virtual productions.
VERSION UP
Experience as a Vendor Supervisor at two well regarded companies, and as a Production Supervisor on dozens of shows, with many On-Set Supervisor hours thrown in. Also handled the VFX Producer roles on shows that warranted that approach.
A deep knowledge of these creative, fiscal, logistical and technical roles I have a solid understanding of the entire VFX process and the many pathways available to go from script to vfx final.
ONWARDS!
82 Credits. Movies and tv shows with thousands of vfx shots, shows with double digit vfx vendors across the globe. Episodic, long form and short films.
The story is the story no matter the format.
Worked with Canadian, UK, Irish, Bulgarian, Czech Republic, USA, Mexican, Hungarian, Indian, South African and Thai VFX Vendors and intend to continue to expand and shift as the industry and talent pools change shape.
ALWAYS DEVELOPING
Direct production experience in most areas of visual effects, creatures, environments, water and FX, fantasy, action (lots of explosions), pre-vis, storyboarding, post-vis, vfx temps, simulations, AI, virtual production and volumes, shooting real elements, shooting plates, 2nd Unit shooting, conceptual and development collaborations.
Still learning new techniques and methodologies all in the service of visual effects storytelling.
