With years of experience in the animation and VFX industry, I have successfully worked on numerous blockbuster films and projects. I have optimized Katana and Renderman renders, reducing an 8-hour pipeline into 30 minutes, and trained artists in key lighting techniques.
As a key lighting artist on Sausage Party series, I delivered high quality lighting rigs to match the artwork and communicated to entire team usage to match the key. In games I would be called a Principal.
I have proven the ability to deliver high-quality lighted shots for multiple platforms, including feature films, feature animations, cinematics, previs, streaming content, and commercials.
I also have the ability to create, design, and manage complex projects as a creator and director of award-winning Unreal short animated films such as 'Pitstop' and my Rusty The Robot series.
I possess strong verbal and communication skills and demonstrate a willingness to learn and teach others.
Skills: Unreal, Katana, Renderman, Arnold, Maya, Vray, Nuke, Generative AI
