SHAPE ISLAND - Season 1
Credited as a Visualization Artist for Season 1 of Apple TV's Shape Island.

Being part of this imaginative and heartwarming project was a true joy!
Better Days Campaign
This video showcases commissioned work I created for Better Days clothing company. It was an exciting challenge compositing my 3D renders with live-action footage to achieve photorealistic results.

Working alongside other talented artists made the experience truly fulfilling.
Chambers of Awe: QUALIA
This video strings together some of my commissioned work for the feature film Qualia, showcased in planetariums across Northern California.

Feed Off Each Launch Campaign
For Feed Off Each Other's launch campaign, I was brought on to add some extra flair to a commercial that captured the brand's essence.

Thrilled to have been brought on by the powerhouse animation studio House of Moves as a Virtual Camera TD for the motion capture shoots for the game's cinematics.

Adding a Nintendo game to my portfolio was the cherry on top!

Theater of Arts Showcase 2024
As an instructor for motion capture classes at the Theater of Arts College in Hollywood, I help actors understand what it's like to work on a mocap set, what to expect, and how their performances are brought to life as CG characters. For this showcase video, two students recreated the Comedy Central skit Death and Ramen. I supported the process by mapping their performances to Unreal Engine Metahumans and managing the backend work to complete the final video.

Everything in the video was rendered and displayed to visitors in real-time during the performance.
Peel Virtual Camera

The setup features wireless joystick controls, a desktop application for settings management, and integration with Unreal Engine and MotionBuilder. It's been so exciting seeing this system adopted by multiple virtual production studios.

As a junior developer for Peel Capture, I provide on-site support and develop APIs to help studios integrate the application into their workflows. Peel Capture is a trusted desktop tool for managing devices on motion capture and virtual production sets, used by leading names like Disney and Netflix and adopted by stages and professionals worldwide.
