“What if Disney Bought Westworld?” was a parody project I created reimagining the iconic Westworld opening title sequence through the lens of Disney-owned properties and characters.
The goal of the piece was to blend cinematic visual effects, animation, compositing, and stylized motion design into something that felt both familiar and unsettling — capturing the tone and elegance of the original sequence while playfully exploring the idea of beloved franchise characters being manufactured inside a futuristic theme park pipeline.
The project involved a mix of 3D rendering, digital compositing, motion graphics, and cinematic lighting techniques to recreate the dark, mechanical aesthetic of the original opening while introducing recognizable fantasy and sci-fi-inspired imagery into the world.
This piece was created as both a creative experiment and a technical showcase exploring title design, visual storytelling, and parody through visual effects.

We recently completed a new Digital Aging & De-Aging Test Reel exploring how far modern visual effects workflows can push age transformation for actors on independent budgets.
The reel showcases a range of aging and de-aging techniques designed to help filmmakers visualize characters across decades without relying solely on heavy prosthetics, extensive makeup sessions, or multiple performers. Our goal with these tests wasn’t just realism, it was flexibility. We’re actively refining workflows that make this kind of cinematic storytelling more accessible to productions of every scale.
For us, the exciting part is helping storytellers expand what they can put on screen while keeping the process practical, collaborative, and creatively driven.
