I have had the opportunity to work at a number of the major VFX vendors over the past 12 years in London, Singapore and now in Stockholm contributing to over 50+ feature films. I have also worked directly on the studio side of production, most notably alongside Steven Spielberg in managing the virtual cinematography process onset for Ready Player One. My most recent work history centres around managing motion capture studios and facial capture services, championing virtual production projects ranging from VR scouting on Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker to real-time LED volume shoots on films such as The Midnight Sky and The Batman. Now part of the central operations team at Goodbye Kansas Studios Stockholm, I work as the Head of Capture.
