My roto and matchmove experience means I am more than willing to take on the mundane, yet necessary tasks that some projects have. My previs skills mean I am a bit of a generalist wizard, able to fix problems and make quick rigs and tools, work fast, know camera and composition and am always thinking how things fit into the bigger picture and can iterate fast and come up with story solutions when needed. Postvis extends my craftiness when it comes to more VFX heavy projects, knowing how to work with, and when necessary manipulate, live action plates. In commercials and game cinematics I honed and polished my animation chops.

All of that is to say that I can push through piles of client and director notes and iterations with a smile and quickly get quality, polished final animation.

I've worked at a variety of studios with different pipelines on a number of different softwares and am confident that I can jump in and be running along with the best wherever I end up.
