Bachelor of Screen Arts

I produced, co-directed and was an FX artist on ‘Rigor Mortis’, utilizing Vicon Shogun Post, Motion Builder and Houdini for the shots that I worked on. I was VFX Supervisor for ‘Got the Spirit’ and ‘Who Do We Have Here?’, in which I composited using a mix of after effects and Nuke. I was also an FX Artist on ‘Kina’, where I was responsible for the fireflies scene.

‘Rigor Mortis’ is a 3D rendered short film that showcases a dark and empty world that captures the last moments of a dying life. The work has been entirely crafted within Houdini, Maya and Blender and utilizes motion capture to enhance the work. The score has been created specifically for the work and aids in its ambiguous nature leaving a lot up to audience interpretation.

‘Who Do We Have Here?’ tells the story of children's TV show character, Dilly Bog, as he is awoken into human form from a soft-toy and struggles to adapt to the unfamiliar world around him. Dilly Bog interrogates the show’s characters about his existence and purpose, disrupting the show’s structure. This short thriller/comedy aims to warp the nostalgia people have surrounding the shows they grew up with.

When amateur DJ Dan dies unexpectedly, his girlfriend Paris is secretly relieved she never had to break up with him. Unfortunately, Dan returns as a ghost — believing his unfinished business is to fix their relationship, the last thing Paris needs. Got the Spirit is a dramedy about conflict avoidance, embarrassing boyfriends, and how romance in your 20s collides with identity. Sometimes, an exorcism feels easier than talking about your feelings…
