About this service

Summary

I create high-quality VFX and 3D animations, specializing in compositing, simulations, and cinematic lighting. I directed the short film A.T.L.A.S.: A Quiet Ward, refining my skills in Houdini, Nuke, and USD workflows. With 5+ years of experience, I deliver visuals that elevate storytelling and brands.

Process

1. Discovery & Planning I start by understanding your project goals, references, and timeline. We define the scope, style, and deliverables to align expectations.
2. Concept & Previsualization Create initial concepts, storyboards, layouts or styleframes to give you a clear idea of the final output.
3. Production Using tools like Houdini, Nuke, and Blender, I develop simulations, 3D models, lighting, and compositing to produce high-quality visuals.
4. Review & Feedback You’ll review the work and provide feedback for revisions to ensure the visuals match your vision perfectly.
5. Final Delivery I deliver the polished video or assets in your desired format (MP4, MOV, EXR, or others), ready for production or distribution.
