Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Undisclosed Project - Contributed to a major Hollywood movie project, working on various fx including flip simulations, vellum simulations, and particle effects.

Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

Undisclosed Project - Worked on a water-heavy FX show involving various underwater elements such as bubbles, marine snow, propeller wash fx, and underwater electricity.Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - In this project, I have been exploring the pipeline and setting up the workflow of the Houdini scatter system for the environments. This has helped me gain a deep understanding of the MPC pipeline, the packages released by each department, and how to retain data from packages and pass it over to Lighting with an added motion from FX.Hocus Pocus 2 - I was responsible for developing the Lightning system for characters that shot lightning arcs in the movie. This included creating procedurally generated curves, smoke, and particle sims. I also set up controls to easily run the first pass of shots for each character given the correct input. Additionally, I created another setup for energy BeamFX shooting from a cauldron.

The Battle at Lake Changjin - I created two of the most challenging shots in my experience, including a slow-motion bullet tearing through a bag of gunpowder and setting it on fire, and a Power Transmission Tower collapsing due to an explosion. This involved metal deformation, matching plate explosions, ground collapsing, impact elements, and multiple secondary elements to add detail. I was also responsible for creating setups for explosions that were handed over to run on respective shots.Moonshot - Created earth formation (Hologram Particles Effect). Worked as a sequence lead for creating sky dust element.Worked on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to manipulate the existing Lightning setup. Worked on the development of unreleased projects to create a small-scale fire and a flame thrower and to create multiple layers of Smoke Plumes for another project.

Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland

I worked as a Crowd TD on the movie MY Little Pony for multiple sequences using Golaem. The project taught me the complete pipeline for creating crowds, from the prerequisites required for rigging and animation to setting up Golaem crowd characters (GCHAs) and motion files (GMOs).General tasks involved adding behaviors, mixing and blending motions, and triggering conditions to interact according to defined logic. The steps to create such setups were often monotonous. As a result, I started learning and implementing small, on-the-go Python scripts in Maya to automate some of the tasks during shot execution.

Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - I created a setup for impact elements (smoke puffs and sparks) from shooting blasters and utilized the same setup on consecutive shots.The Mandalorian - Created interactive flames and smoke with Mandalorian Steel/Beskar. Created secondary elements like Chimney Smoke(Background element) and metal Sparks. Worked on using the existing setup of the Electric Wire during one of the fight sequences.Skyfire - Created setup for smoke trail shooting out of volcanic eruption during a bike chase sequence and added the same setup to multiple shots in continuity.

This expanded my knowledge deeply with the help of DNEG resources and its pipeline.

I was responsible for the R&D of the ship sailing effect for the Bollywood movie Thugs of Hindostan.
