Barbie

I led visualisation from virtual camera scouts and LED-stage work through to whole-film postvis.

Working with Greta Gerwig and Rodrigo Prieto on virtual camera scouts, my team helped shape the film before the shoot. I led the artists who designed the Dawn of Woman skies and ran its LED stage, developed techvis for the car's movement and flip, and delivered postvis for the entire film.

Deadpool & Wolverine

I helped shape the signature oner and led whole-film postvis across more than 900 shots.

My contribution to the oner's design included its motion control passes, connecting the creative ambition to the mechanics of the shot. My team previsualised substantial portions of the film and delivered postvis for the entire cut, establishing the visual blueprint for final VFX.

Game of Thrones

For three years, I was the chief architect of the on-set element shoots that brought dragon riding and fire to life.

Combining previs with hands-on motion control supervision, I translated complex sequences into executable on-set shoots. In the final season alone, I supervised more than 300 stage elements as part of the VFX team recognised with the 2019 Emmy for Outstanding Special Visual Effects.

Arrow keys orbit the camera around the shot. Square brackets, or minus and plus, change lens. R returns to the designed shot.

About

Visualisation is where a film's departments agree what the film is, while it can still change.

I'm a Creative Director at Framestore and a creative partner to filmmakers across pre-production, the shoot and post-production. My background at The Third Floor includes three years shaping and supervising Game of Thrones' on-set element shoots. On Barbie, I led teams across virtual scouting, LED-stage work, techvis and whole-film postvis; on Deadpool & Wolverine, I contributed to the oner's design and led postvis for the entire film. I bring creative judgement and practical on-set experience to the same table, helping directors develop their vision and carry it through every stage.
