Profile
I am a hardworking and passionate 3D generalist committed to crafting high quality visual effects for film and television. Proficient in many areas including modelling, texturing, look development, lighting and CG crowds. I thrive in collaborative environments, bringing a strong work ethic and adaptability to every project. I’m dedicated to deliver meaningful contributions to team efforts while simultaneously expanding and refining my skill set.
Work Experience
BlueBolt – Junior 3D Generalist (May 2022 – October 2023)
Throughout my time I was able to work in a range of projects, allowing me to expand my skill set significantly. I also acquired new skills such as crowd simulations, mocap and rigging, which enabled me to contribute on more projects.
Projects I worked on;
- Night Country – True Detective Season Four
- Cobra Rebellion – Season Three
- Fast X
- The Last Kingdom – Seven Kings Must Die
Post-Mortem – A 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 – A 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.
K&K Food and Wine – Sales Assistant (January 2017 – May 2022)
Throughout my time here I was trained to run the day to day and handle the business on my own. My responsibilities covered handling deliveries, training staff, stock taking and liaising with suppliers. I was also responsible for working the cash register, POS systems and providing customers with a helpful and kind service.
