The Mill

Supervising technical director working on various film and tv visual FX projects.

My role at the Mill was initially to introduce a CGI production pipeline and workflow for the TV and film department based on the experience I had gained from leading previous TV shows such as Primeval series 2 and 3 at Framestore.I went on to supervise the CG for Primeval series 4 and 5 and for Sky's recent Sinbad TV series.

This involved liaising with clients at the script stage, briefing on-set supervisors, budgeting resources and leading a team of 10 3d artists. Both shows employed a number of CGI techniques; creature workincluding fury and feathered also environment and effects work, in particular water.Most of my work has been rendered using Mental Ray renderer with Maya being the main platform forcreating and supplying assets. More recently I have implemented the switch to Arnold which has nowbecome the render of choice for the department.Not all of my work is delegated to others, I enjoy a broad range of skills in CG as a seasoned Mayauser and operate in a generalist capacity where necessary whilst maintaining an eye on qualitycontrol of the final output.; Since leaving college I have always worked in the London post production industry, I began my careerin sound effects followed by advertising music production and later I expanded into visual effects. Itook up CGI full time in 2000 having made my first short film "Hover-bike". The success of this projectpropelled me straight into the world of VFX working on the feature film Troy at Framestore. I havebeen working in the VFX sector ever since. Show less
