Nuke compositor at Digital Domain who integrated CG and live action for Godzilla x Kong: Supernova and other feature projects.

Message

At Digital Domain, I composited and finished VFX shots for Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, Neuromancer, and Disclosure Day, integrating CG and live-action elements while maintaining sequence continuity and photographic realism.

Across projects at Digital Domain, Hollywood Visual Effects (HVE), and Lex + Otis Animation, I’ve worked on Nuke compositing for feature films, immersive content, and episodic animation. My shot work has included keying, roto and paint, tracking, and multi-pass CG refinement.

Earlier, at Picture Shop / Ghost VFX, I completed Nuke compositing tasks from plate preparation through final integration for projects including Narcos, Star Trek: Picard, and The Walking Dead. My toolkit includes Nuke, Mocha, Syntheyes, Photoshop, and ShotGrid.
