I have two decades of experience as a senior VFX compositor, integrating 2D & 3D elements to create complex animations and photorealistic visual effects for film, TV, and more. Enhancing practical photography with CG and FX, I also hide things the filmmakers don't want the audience to see. More recently, I've been exploring Generative AI imagery and video and working with rapidly evolving Gen AI experimental pipelines.
