Reel Overview

This reel highlights my work across multiple productions within the Virtual Art Department (VAD), showcasing real-time previs, environment layout, scene assembly, lighting development, asset modeling, texturing and UV layout. The selected shots represent contributions to large-scale virtual production pipelines supporting on-set visualization and final cinematic direction.

Key contributions

– Environment layout and worldbuilding for real-time stages
– Previs/techvis for action and narrative beats
– Shot design: set layout, alignment, lensing, and movement
– Lighting and LookDev for director scouting and reviews
– Scene assembly and optimization for VP workflows

Production Context

The Virtual Art Department serves as an early visualization and scene development team for large-scale film productions. These sequences support director exploration, real-time reviews, and on-set virtual production workflows.

Responsibilities

My work included environment layout and vis-dev, previs/techvis, scene assembly, lighting development, and LookDev—including kitbashing, modeling, and texturing. Several elements were refined to final-pixel quality, while others supported visualization, editorial reviews, and broader virtual production workflows.

Pipeline & Tools

Unreal Engine, Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, 3DEqualizer (digital set-extension alignment), proprietary layout tools, real-time lighting and foliage creation tools (including Wētā’s Gazebo and Lumberjack), and real-time review workflows.
