Relevant Work Experience
BlueBolt – Junior 3D Generalist (May 2022 – October 2023)
Throughout my time here, I worked on a range of projects, creating 3D assets, animations, CG crowds and lighting and rendering across film and TV. I acquired new skills such as motion capture, rigging and crowd simulations, which enabled me to contribute to a wider range of projects.
Projects I worked on;
- A Thousand Blows - 2025
- Night Country – True Detective Season Four
- Cobra Rebellion – Season Three
- Fast X
- The Last Kingdom – Seven Kings Must Die
Post-Mortem – Student Short Film (2022)
During this project I modelled and textured few assets, and had provided a lookdev pass on other assets. I took the role as Pipeline Lead which involved creating a strong system for artists to work efficiently. Additionally, I took on the role of Render Wrangler and oversaw the render farm making sure the renders were time efficient and to the highest quality standard.
Shimmer – Student Short Film (2022)
My main contribution was setting up the shader and finalising the look of the characters from the initial concept. I worked on creating lighting rigs for shots, and ensuring that the look was with the director’s vision. I had conducted many lookdev passes and tweaking of lighting setups to achieve the final result. I also took on the role of Pipeline Lead and had trained all teams to work together on Linux. I had also taken the role of Render Wrangler, in which I managed long render times due to the glass shader.
