    A Small Case of Ennui

    Currently in DEVELOPMENT A Small Case of Ennui is a short comedy film that you can walk into. Watch it on a screen as a traditional 2D film, or YOU become the camera as a spectator to the performance in augmented reality.

Since 2005, I have been working professionally as a Visual Effects Artist, beginning in the camera and animation tracking departments.

I often worked on set, at the intersection of filming and post production – wrangling the data used to create visual effects in post.

In 2016 I began using Unity and Unreal Engine, initially as a tool for motion picture previz and postviz. As tools have evolved, I am finding more ways to utilize real time visual effects to help filmmakers be more efficient in their pipelines, while boosting picture fidelity.
