About

Over 15 years experience in the feature film and game industries. I have worked as a Cinematics/Layout Artist, Motion Capture Artist, Animation artist, Compositor, and a Hair & Cloth Artist, on many feature films and some games. Most Recently I have been working in more of a lead role as an Art Director and Director role. Some of the many films I have worked on include: The Chronicles of Narnia, Beowulf, Avatar, The Adventures of Tintin, Green Lantern,The Amazing Spiderman, and Oz the Great and Powerful. I have an in-depth understanding of production tasks from the beginning Storyboarding/Layout phase, to model creation, animation/motion cature, cloth simulation, through lighting and rendering. Lately I have been focusing on 3D scanning and photogrammetry. It is so fascinating to me how imperfect most objects are and it is in those little imperfections that really give life and substance to those everyday things. It has really strengthened my observational skills and attention to details when looking at computer generated models.
