  I lead teams of CG artists on high-profile, award-winning projects in entertainment, bringing along the diverse disciplines attained over my career (mocap direction, production design, previz, illustration, interactive video graphics, screenwriting, editorial) into every task I am given. In recent years I branched into VR/AR and virtual production, innovating techniques and solutions to address the evolving needs and exploding potential of these technologies.  In the spring of 2020, I completed a 6-week intensive Unreal Engine training fellowship with Epic Games resulting in a short film I created entirely in UE4 (viewable in the "Featured" section).  My early career in Los Angeles presented me with many challenging and highly creative opportunities on ultra-low budget feature films, from gun wrangling to production design to, yes, screenwriting. In 1990 I was privileged to join the IATSE Local 790, creating period movie posters on the film "Guilty by Suspicion."  I worked in the 4-Ward Productions model shop, then in the Apogee Productions art department until its demise in 1992.  At Apogee, I learned the Video Toaster from Joe Conti, who, soon after, hired me to head the Video Playback unit for Amblin's seaQuest, DSV, designing and delivering computer display graphics for the futuristic sets.  In the third season of seaQuest, I transitioned over to concept illustrator for the show. After seaQuest, I spent the next few years illustrating for films and TV--projects such as Dante's Peak, George of the Jungle and Hercules/Xena.  In 1997 I worked a stint at Flat Earth Productions, shifting from storyboards to video graphics, and later towards straight digital effects. In 1998 Digital Domain hired me to head the Holographic Display CG team for "Supernova," and until November, 2018 (except for a brief return to Flat Earth), I led teams at DD on mostly commercial and VR projects.   In December, 2018 I left DD for CoSA VFX to supervise on episodic television projects.  In 2019 I went to Method Studios for a year to work on commercial projects. In early 2021 I moved to Scanline VFX to CG supervise on the Russo Brothers' actioner, "The Gray Man." In the fall of 2022, I went to Fuse FX where I was CG Supervisor for episodic shows. Specialties: Supervision; VR, Stereo and unorthodox formats; Lighting, Look Development and Modeling in Maya/VRay, Maya/Redshift, 3DS Max/VRay, Houdini/Arnold; UE4/5 lighting and cinematic creation; previz; Nuke compositing; complex problem solving. https://vimeo.com/862108857 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0378717/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Impossible Objects
