With over 25 years of experience in the Visual Effects industry, I specialize in Digital Matte Painting, Compositing, and Concept Art for feature films, TV shows, commercials, and video games. My journey began in 1997 as a 3D Generalist in gaming, before I transitioned to feature films, where I found my Photoshop abilities and eye for detail/color made a natural transition into Matte Painting.

Services Offered:

• Digital Matte Painting: Complete environments, set extensions, sky replacements, virtual sets, camera projection, and previsualization.

• Compositing: Keying, tracking, 2D/3D integration, motion graphics, driving comps, monitor comps, paint/roto, muzzle flashes, blood/gore, and beauty work.

• 3D Services: Modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering.

• Supervision: Managing remote artists and assets effectively.

• 2D Services: Creative illustrations and concepts, photo editing, and graphic design.

Remote Collaboration: Based in Atlanta, I have successfully operated as a remote freelancer since 2010, making collaboration easy no matter your location.

Tools I Use: Proficient in Photoshop, NUKE, After Effects, Mocha, Autodesk Maya, Cinema 4D, and more.

Ready to take your project to the next level? Let's collaborate on something extraordinary!
