About

I am a London based Senior Compositor, specialising in the creation of photorealistic visual effects for film and television.

I have many years of experience, having contributed to projects such as ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’, ‘The Crown’, ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,’ ‘Last Night in Soho,’ and Ridley Scott’s latest film ‘Napoleon.’

Key Skills:
Technical and Artistic Balance: My work combines technical proficiency with artistic creativity to produce compelling visual effects.

Problem-Solving: I have experience developing solutions for complex shots and creating consistent looks for sequences that can be shared with other artists.

Quality Maintenance: I prioritise maintaining high standards of quality and consistency across all sequences.

Technical Expertise: I possess a solid understanding of 3D systems, camera and geometry integration, as well as 2D and 3D tracking.
I have experience incorporating DMP’s, and CG element compositing with live-action integration, greenscreen/bluescreen matte extraction, and have a sharp eye for colour grading and achieving photorealism.

Scripting and Pipeline Development: I am proficient in Python scripting to develop artist tools and streamline workflows.

I also have my own high end computer system with the latest version Nuke X licence, if required.

Career Aspirations:
I am also keenly interested in advancing my career and taking on supervisory roles within the visual effects industry. My experience and technical proficiency position me well for such a transition, and I am enthusiastic about contributing to teams and projects in a leadership capacity.
