Stage Lead: Ensure performance standards for Unreal Engine environments to create shots utilizing a physical camera in combination with a virtual camera using motion capture tracking on multiple LED stages. Working alongside the DoP on the day to physically light actors with the LED Wall, adjusting the overall look and lighting of the virtual environments and creating unique camera/stage animations utilizing the LED wall.Virtual Layout: Animating cameras and characters for Post-Viz renders handing off to editorial and comp. VAD: Constructing environments focusing on lighting and physical stage composition.

In engine artist, environment, set decoration, lighting and look dev for a short animation.

Real-Time Stage Operator: Worked in a small team to create virtual camera moves utilizing traditional camera equipment. Adjusted animations, environments, camera dollies and splines to create high quality pre-viz that transitioned to editorial. Gathered latest animation, environments from PreViz department, audio and lighting from Maya to Unity; optimized for virtual cameras and to utilize VR.

Stage Volume Builds: Mounted OptiTrack cameras around a 50’ AR LED Wall. Practical sets were built within the volume that required more cameras to be mounted based on where the physical camera might land on the day.Stage TD: Calibrated the volume daily, including one off calibrations depending on variables such as set builds or scene changes. Tracked multiple Arri cameras including Preston focus and iris values that were used to create the real-time, in camera, AR wall mixed reality.

Virtual Set Scouts: Prepared, optimized and quality checked scenes for multiplayer VR scouts. Operated Unity while core team members used HTC Vive headsets; addressing set change direction, animation offsets and lighting direction. Master Scene Prep: Gathered latest animation, environments, audio and lighting from Maya to Unity; optimized for virtual cameras and to utilize VR.Stage TD: Operated capture software and ensured data was valid and capable of being processed into the Post-Production pipeline. Provided on stage Unity support during filming.

Match-moved characters and vehicles to create a stereoscopic theme park ride. Textured actors from photo reference.

Working with a small team and wearing multiple hats. Starting early on a shoot day, taking care of stage prep, ROM's. Prepping digital environments props and characters for real time and using these assets to build practical interactive assets for actors. Moving on to post, body tracking and solving, face tracking and animation.

Tracked 2D film plates, recreated the 3D scene, including environments and character animations, to be passed off to compositing to create a 3D film.

On set filming and motion capture. Part of glove team that captured actors and musicians hand movements along with body and facial capture. Fitted actors with active markers for normal suits, stunt harnesses and child actors. Post tracking and solving. Modeled props for pre-viz solving.

Modeled and textured assets for an online game which combined Flash and 3D animation.
