Summary :

 

I have worked in the computer graphics industry for over 25 years as an artist, lead and supervisor. Having started in the games industry I have since worked in TV animation, commercials, feature animation, feature film visual effects and virtual production.

 

My roles have varied from being an Art Director, CG Supervisor, Generalist & Environment Supervisor and Virtual Art Department Supervisor. However my duties have always remained focused on leading teams of artists successfully in order to produce the highest caliber of work achievable. The computer graphics industry is vast and I am proud to be a part of it. I have a keen interest in the state of the art and constantly develop my skills by learning new tools and workflows to ensure I am delivering my best. 

​

I am a dedicated professional, artist and collaborator and strive to ensure the successful delivery of projects by employing creative problem solving, strong team leadership and an experienced eye for making content look believable and beautiful. I thrive in challenging environments and love collaborating with like minded professionals.

Professional Experience :​

​

Industrial Light & Magic   January 2009 - Present

​

Virtual Art Department Supervisor & LED Content Supervisor

​

The Virtual Art Department (VAD) is the Virtual Production creative hub that connects concept art, set construction & decoration, LED content creation, as well as cinematography and virtual blocking/staging.

 

As a VAD Supervisor I work closely with the key creatives on a show to develop sets in Unreal Engine that establish the design and aesthetic intent, as well as help inform departments downstream how the environments  will be executed both on the physical stage and in the virtual LED content. 

​

As a LED Volume Content Supervisor I lead a team of artists responsible for taking the VAD sets and developing them further so they have the level of detail and visual complexity required for in-camera finals,  as well as being performant and flexible enough to be shot in real-time. 

​

Generalist & Environment Supervisor

​

As a Generalist and Environment Supervisor my role is to lead the team responsible for creating environments, digital matte paintings and challenging sequences or shots that call for innovative techniques being used outside of the main production pipeline. My main areas of responsibility on a project are :

​

  • Decide on and implement workflows and methodology, cast artists accordingly and support the environment team in order to ensure successful delivery of visuals which are of the highest quality possible -  whilst also responding to the day to day challenges of producing feature film VFX for stellar clients who demand perfection

​

  • Create Visual Development pieces to help the client find the look of a sequence and highlight any technical challenges that may be faced

​

  • Set up sequences, establish best practices and execute shot work. Also providing paint-over concepts when challenging shots require extra attention
