Latest Work (2023 – 2025)

Most recently, I helped a local documentary production company build a sustainable pipeline and workflow to produce 3 season of an indigenous children’s program.  While supporting a very tight budget though scope management, pipeline tooling, and efficiency planning, I was also involved in every aspect of 3d production from modeling to lighting and rendering, with a primary focus on completing about 80% of  all the VFX work personally using Blender.  This work was most rewarding for me in that I was able to help a small team, unsure they could complete the first few episodes, to a solid team a that successfully produced 3 seasons, in 3 lip-synced languages!

• CG Supervisor – episodic series
• Procedural FX & simulations
• FX look development and lighting

Scanline VFX (2022 – 2023)

In my 15 month contract with Scanline VFX, I worked remotely in a new role of Generalist Supervisor, advocating for project resources, looking at pipeline feasibility, and doing basic shot lighting tasks. As a new role within the company, while learning proprietary pipeline tooling and attempting to lead as many as 18 concurrent projects, the role oversaw offices in Europe, Montreal, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and South Korea.

• Resource management and advocation to team leadership
• Pipeline & tooling evaluation

Tangent Animation (2015-2021)

CG Supervisor on Netflix’s NextGen and Maya and the Three.

Focused on technical setup, pipeline design, technical direction, and shot finaling across the shows.

​

Tangent Animation grew out of OpusVFX through our production of Emma’s Wings, the first animated feature produced in Manitoba, Canada, and Ozzy, the first animated feature produced entirely using Blender.  These projects  represent cutting edge success under significant challenges of building a studio/pipeline with limited resources.

​

Following this early success, Tangent was contracted to complete a full animated feature for Netflix entitled NextGen, a sweet and action packed movie with some of the most fun awesome I’ve ever been able to help deliver!

Netflix then secured Tangent to complete the nine part miniseries Maya and the Three, a dream project for Jorge R. Gutiérrez of El Tigre and The Book of Life fame.  It was an honor to be able to contribute to this absolutely beautifully art directed and so darkly written visual extravaganza!

​

These 2 reels showcase a very small part of the work I was able to directly handle in delivering these shows.

• CG Supervisor – full feature pipeline
• Technical and pipeline guidance/leadership
• Shot finaling at scale
