  Lighting Supervisor

  Double Negative

  October 2019 - June 2021

  London, England, United Kingdom

  Since 2019 I have been fortunate enough to grow into Lighting Supervision roles on a number of shows, the latest being Zack Snyder's Justice League. The role has involved a much broader overview of the creative and technical challenges facing the lighting department on a show level. It has also involved a much higher proportion of production side tasks, such as department bid days, crewing, targets and scheduling.

  Lighting TD / Look Dev Artist

  Filmmore

  February 2015 - March 2015

  Amsterdam Area, Netherlands

  As a lighting and look dev artist at Filmmore, I worked on upcoming feature film 'The Night of A Thousand Hours' creating several photoreal film sets that were used as rear-projected backdrops on set. The work involved a high amount of technical accuracy including matching camera positions, sensor settings and focal lengths to future on set cameras and using physically correct light temperatures, lumen output and camera exposure settings. However, it also required a lot of creative lighting in order to bring life and interest to still images.

  Whilat at Sparkle VFX I was involved in projects with high profile clients such as Sky Sports, United Utilities and LimePictures. The work included:
  
  Hard surface modelling, texturing, lighting and rendering.

  Dynamic simulation of smoke and flames with Maya's inbuilt fluid dynamics as well as utilising Maya's nParticle system to create effects such as sparks and debris.
  
  
  It was a professional team based environment into which I brought new software capabilities. Often there were pipline issues and I was key in leading solutions and suggesting alternative workflows.

  I was employed at Hurricane Films primarily to work on the 360 degree immersive Beatles installation for the National Museums of Liverpool.

  Some other shots required modelling assets and animation in Cinema 4D and optimising scenes for a 6k wide render.
