  Nuke compositor and Flare artist at the post-production facility Images & Sound.

  Nuke Compositor

  Images & Sound

  August 2012 - February 2013

  I composited live-action footage, matte paintings, cycloramic sky's, and other elements for the Starz TV series Spartacus: War of the Damned. I worked on more than 80 shots with tight deadlines. As an external vendor for the production we were delivered Nuke setups containing 360 degree environments projected onto layered spheres and simplified geometry. We exported the required elements from this to take the composite to completion. A library of additional elements was also provided.

  Senior Digital Media Centre Operator

  Images & Sound

  March 2008 - December 2010

  As the Senior Digital Media Centre Operator at the post-production house Images & Sound my primary role was managing a small team to operate efficiently, ensuring that workflows and deadlines were met error free, and that work left the building to the highest possible technical standards.
  
  The Digital Media Centre deals with a vast range digital video formats and the meticulous task of data management. Material is digitised and output using Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Studio and DaVinci Resolve for a wide variety of purposes, including broadcast, theatrical release, and web. It was a technically demanding role that also required sound communication, prioritisation and organisational skills to keep track of the company's many projects, past and present.
