  (Mumbai) Matchmove Supervisor and Artist Trainer

  Double Negative

  2015 - 2015

  Mumbai City district, India

  Chosen from DNEG Singapore for a special overseas assignment, I successfully trained 100 Prime Focus matchmove artists, who then went on to help deliver shows like Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.
  Transitioning from lead artist to trainer and supervisor, I grew my skills in talent management and coordination between departments as part of a production pipeline.
