About Me

Member Since 2021 | Views: 733

I am a freelance visual effects artist and supervisor. I can do anything from simulated explosions or liquids to cg set extensions to managing your post production visual effects department and coordinating with your on set production team to make sure they capture footage in the best possible way for vfx and collect on set data to improve the quality and speed for your vfx artists. If you can think of it, I can do it.

Puedo hablar Español e eu posso falar português (mais como um portunhol)

Tengo traducciones al español y portugués de toda la información listada en mi sitio web.
Tenho traduções em espanhol e português para todas as informações listadas no meu site.

PRIMARY SERVICES THAT I PROVIDE :

VFX SUPERVISOR -
Ideally the VFX supervisor is brought in for the pre-production phase where I would coordinate with other departments to see where vfx and practical elements merge. On set during production, myself and potential team will collect on set data to be used in the post production process and coordinate with the camera department to make sure everything is shot in a manner to best assist the vfx artist/artists. During post-production, with my connections to various vfx houses outside of the country, I will handle putting together your vfx team at the lowest possible rate and will coordinate all the vfx side of the post-production for you. All you need to do is communicate your needs to me and I will handle the rest.​
What separates me from the rest is my knowledge not only in all stages of the vfx process from fx to cg and shading to compositing, but my intuitive knowledge in all aspects of film making. This allows me to properly oversee every level of the vfx process in post-production as well as properly supervising my department on set and being able to adapt and make adjustments where needed on the fly.

COMPOSITING -
I have more than 10 years behind my compositing skills and I know tons of tricks of the trade to help deliver your vfx shot to you quickly and with professional quality.
I have the ability to create professional composites and I believe that comes from my creative technical thinking, problem solving and familiarity with the software and tools, but I also believe it comes from my ability to know when something looks right and more importantly when and why something looks wrong.

CG, FX and SIMULATIONS -
As a seasoned visual effects artist, I specialize in creating cutting-edge CG environments, photorealistic FX, and dynamic simulations. Whether it's crafting lifelike digital characters, generating complex particle systems, or simulating natural elements like fire, water, and smoke, I deliver high-quality visual effects that enhance storytelling and elevate your project to new heights. My expertise in industry-leading tools ensures seamless integration of visual effects into live-action footage, providing a polished and immersive final product tailored to your creative vision.
Having knowledge of the the whole vfx pipeline and what passes and data the compositor will want from me as a cg artist allows the whole vfx pipeline to work quickly and efficiently.

VIRTUAL PRODUCTION -
It seems most virtual production technicians come from the cinematography side of the industry. What sets me apart is the combination of knowledge from cinematography, technical camera knowledge and the vfx world allowing me to get the most out of your virtual production shoot.
I can help you create your Unreal Engine world, setup your virtual production system and help you the day of the your virtual production shoot to run Unreal Engine.

AI/MACHINE LEARNING IMAGE MANIPULATION -
With both a degree in filmmaking as well as a degree in computer science machine learning, I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to machine learning in the vfx field.
My introduction to using machine learning in vfx was from the early days of generative ai in vfx, using a Deepfake in 2017 to replace the face of someone in the Drex Carter music video Nandina with someone who had passed away.
I am frequently training models on larger vfx projects to help speed up and enhance my vfx workflow.

ONE MAN VFX TEAM -
Because most VFX artists in the studio and film world specialize in one section of the VFX workflow, most films and commercials need to hire a VFX studio with tens to hundreds of employees to complete even a single VFX shot. For that reason, even a simple composite-only VFX shot can quickly balloon into thousands of dollars. While this traditional approach has its benefits, primarily speed, many lower-budget projects simply cannot afford to go this route.
As a skilled VFX generalist, I can tackle any problem you need at a fraction of the cost. This approach will be the most affordable option for you, provided your project has the time.
What sets me apart from other VFX generalists, aside from my attention to detail and technical ability, is that I am not an 'influencer' VFX artist. My skills are firmly rooted in the professional VFX workflow and are seamlessly integrated with your post-production team. I understand color spaces, I use CG passes for flexibility in compositing, and I know exactly what data needs to be collected on set to make the best possible product as efficiently as possible. I understand that the producer wants things done quickly and cheaply, while the director wants the best possible result.
If you think a one-person VFX team is the right fit for your project, then I believe I am the person for the job.
