Hi I've worked in Motion Capture since 2000 and Film since 2003. I've worked for Weta Digital for the past 13. I usually specialize in On-Set Performance Capture and Virtual Production. I've have a ton of experience on feature film shoots and have been projects such as Avatar, BFG and the Plant of the Apes series.
