Flame Artist & Nuke Compositor

Solo Conform | Composite | Finish

Nuke | Flame
This was a 3D job with some tricky DOF edges that needed a lot of love. I conformed the edit in Flame, comped Nuke, sent to color and delivered Flame. The client was more than happy with the result.

Nuke | Flame
After receiving the assets from the incredible design and 3D teams I conformed in Flame, composited in Nuke, and then delivered in Flame. The client has returned numerous times with various iterations.

Nuke | Flame
This is a variation of the Comcast Flex spot. The main challenges in this spot were tricky edge issues and a 2D plate extension fix for various social media formats. Both solved in Nuke.

Flame
I love the esthetic quality of this commercial. Removal of unwanted elements, adding Knob Creek logos to barrels, clothing, etc, and repositioning and retiming of shots were the main goals here.

Flame
Completed in Framestore Chicago, I spent two weeks with the client in a Flame suite. Beauty, cleanup and retiming were the main requests and the commercial was delivered ahead of schedule to a very happy client.
Team-based Composite

Nuke
This job was all practically shot and only needed a little work from the comp team. For this my main tasks were cleanup, concealing edges, character mirroring and rotoscope tasks.

Nuke
This commercial resonated with me for it’s style. We had a top notch team and great leadership. Main tasks were cleanup and skinning the car with an alternative hood, grill and lights.

Nuke
It was a thrill to work on a commercial that included The Hulk. CG was supplied by our 3D team and was a pleasure to comp. Tasks included beauty on the car, general cleanup, Hulk comping and interaction.

Nuke
As a gamer this commercial was exciting to work on. Live action mixed with a lot of effects and CG. I touched a number of different shots on cleanup, adding lasers, impact sparks, smoke, etc.

Nuke
This had a comp team of two and was a very smooth job. My main solo shot was the Tower shot above, while touching other shots with updates, etc. I applied DOF to the entire spot… tricky with fur.

Nuke
There was great organization and teamwork with this spot and it delivered in a relatively short time. My main goals here were general cleanup, add atmosphere and content to phone screens.

Flame
I love the esthetic of this commercial and was happy to be a part of it. The main emphasis was to find the correct “look” the director was envisioning and it was great to experiment with color and find this look.

Flame
This was a Flame job and was a great opportunity for sky replacements , rain addition and grading to set the mood. I took care of three shots, cleanup, sky replacements and rain addition for all.

On-set | Flame
I was assistant on set Vfx supervisor in Downtown LA for this. We needed the illusion of a lot of talent so I spent time with the “B” unit capturing footage to achieve and stitch this effect.

Nuke
This was essentially a live action commercial with characters placed in a CG world. I had two shots, the “chess landing” and the “door entry” to complete, receiving CG and 2D elements to comp.

Flame
This was a good commercial to practice my beauty touchup skills in Flame and did so on the Leo shots. I also had to “create a look” for the shot above, creating a marble look and comping the red carpet on top.

Nuke | Flame
I’ve worked on a number of Carfax commercials, usually in a small team and working in both Nuke and Flame. Fur is alway interesting to work with and can present it’s own unique challenges.
Television Reel

A small selection of work produced for television and film. This was predominantly freelance work with Sony’s: The Body Shop on shows like Blacklist, Better Call Saul, The Player, Bloodline, and more.
