  'Man of Steel'
  Lighting Sequence Lead for two complex sequences. It was my responsibility to set up various light rigs using on-set High Dynamic Range images to create and establish the ‘look’ early on. I then went on to leading two production lighters to achieve the final shots, whilst undertaking the hero shots myself. The sequences in question consist of one interior environment, which was 100% CG and the other also an interior environment but this time our CG destruction was to compliment the live action plate and match it seamlessly.
