"I use art, science and technology to help me understand the natural world and accurately reproduce it in my work"

Award winning work

I have won awards in VFX for making photo-real animals in films. Working on high profile movies such as Disney's Jungle Book, The Lion King and Warner Bros. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

An animal you see in the zoo is not the same as one in the wild.

I've travelled all over the world to observe and study animals in the wild, in their natural habitat.

Technology

Leveraging the latest technology in VFX, from procedural modelling, VR and USD data.

Although R&D is essential to any business, it requires time and extra budget. This is often hard to prioritize during production where there is little room for experimentation and unlikely the budget for developing new ideas.
However, ideas are important. I invest in research so you don't have to.

See how I've been incorporating Houdini into my creature work...
